Dear Mary,
I don't blame you -- for giving it a try, or for having second thoughts.
It does sound VERY fishy. I'm for alternative approaches in concert with
the traditional, and I have gotten a lot of help from my
acupuncturist/herbalist, but what you described -- and the Dr.'s
response -- do sound highly suspicious. It would be interesting to have
those oils and tablets analyzed (though I don't imagine you want to put
any more $$ into this); does it say anywhere what's in them? It's so
hard to be open AND wise; and it makes me so angry that there are all
these jerks ready to tke advantage. Just know that you and Angelo ar in
my prayers. Love, Joicy
