Western medicine seems to demonize illness....suppressingg symptoms being the goal. Then there are vaccinations - take a toxin into our blood (in nature we receive virus through our epithelial linings not our blood) to "protect" us from the potential evil iinvader......so what is wrong with this picture? The illusion that we have ~control.

What if we viewed our symptoms as a healthy response? Take for example fever...granted, a very high fever sustained for too long is dangerous...however, the immune system is responding in its attempt to deal with virus. The question becomes, how can we support an immune system attempting to achieve balance.

In homeopathy we sometimes wait until symptoms return before repeating doseage of a remedy. Sometimes this is appropriate , others perhaps not. When it comes to sinemet I'm very conservative about taking any that may not be necessary for concern of oversaturating .....receptor beds. I have no studies to reference this feeling....only my experience in raisiing children and copiing with my own condition. Are there any studies that are beyond reproach? Gospel truth? hmmmmm
