Default reply from jingle

Very interesting! I really enjoyed reading the discussion, Paula's posts
the responses to them and her wrap up about it. I have had PD for
as long as Paula and am experiencing severe symptoms so, I think
about it a lot. But I hadn't read this thread at all when I wrote the
3 word "poem" to enter in to a poetry contest with the prompt
brevity. My enthusiasm about it prompted my sending it to Paula
because I thought she would like it and could relate. A written
response to my poem by the contest originator prompted my "explanation
discussion of it which I posted there & sent to Paula. I agree
with Paula. Maybe my "poem" was a bit sharp around the edges and cryptic but
there are always lots of ways to look at things.
We each have our own.

healing take place. Placebos can't heal. but they do.
and science? what is it? proof? maybe? but proof can be
manipulated for monitary gain and still be blanketed in an
official mumbojumbo "doctor speak" stated as scientific proof.
great, when it works, destroying, when it hurts, "evil, when it could heal
but instead, watches the caged - trade pain for addiction."

i think we are all on the same path. i didn't know about the bumblebees so i would have not figured it out. i see many variations on this same theme but mostly i see that none of them are what they are designed to be. so anything is possible. scientific is designed to prove but it doesn't/placebo is supposed to not work but it does.

We are very open minded and tolerant of alternative treatments but orginally this forum would not tolerate it 10 yrs. ago. i've learned to be open to whatever is reported and will say i feel better than i have in a while. people say i look calm and they can't tell. But just spend 5 min and you know something is off.

Point is, it's not over till the last lady sings...don't know where they got that original saying but it isn't very nice. i don't know how to be on one side or another in this unknown situation but looking at the history should help. if mr. coleman won't share his information, he needs to provide proof that it has worked somehow. i can't help but wonder where these people are. it's understandable that curing pd isn't happening with most of us.

But who am i to say it isn't true. i think a cure will be announced in a big way and was disappointed to hear that some pretty big claims have been proven to be inconclusive and downright untrue, like global warning being our fault or even that it is happening and bad data about vaccines that has led to the appearance of measles in the UK. ..lindy is that true?

ok it went together and i find jingle's poetry to be a challenge but don't get it very often without her help. Thanks for going along with it Pam.

We should do this more often.
