RE: In case you think I should see a doctor ...
I would like to start by saying my morning event that will tie in with your post.
I had quite a discussion with my husband this morning about medication. I don't recall exactly how it started but we talked about homeopathics. Since learning about natural healings, I have been going that way for my kids. And so the argument started by my husband saying that homeopathics are just sugar pills and there is no proof that they work. I like to think he is uneducated about it and I know for myself that I still lack some knowledge but going with my heart and gut feeling, this is the way to go. It was hard for me to have this discussion with my own life partner because it feels like he has little faith in what I try to do. He keeps to pharmaceuticals and that is his choice. It just hurts to hear him say that the rest is all for nothing when I am trying to do best by our kids. Trying to grow a medicine garden, venture the woods and collect what is given to me in order to heal the little things I can in my ability, has taken some time and to hear that it is good for nothing.... I think it is much harder when it is like this in a relationship as he does not have my support for his drug taking for aches and pains as I do not have his support for natural plant medicines for aches and pains. Yet we respect and let each other do what we do. It makes it hard for me to care for his health when I know what he is doing is just destroying himself even more. I cannot be heard. I don't want to convince I just want to teach, have understanding, share etc.
So I think that I was meant to fall upon your post this morning as a reminder that what I do for myself is for me and that no one can take that away. I must stand strong no matter the guilt trips people send my way even if it is my husband, mother, father, sister, best friend, neighbour, whatever. Because you are right. You know for yourself what is needed and no one can make that decision for you. Manipulation is there and people do it without even knowing it. I do it without even knowing it, hoping people would tell me though so I can correct it.
The most we can do is live the best we can in the way it feels right. Respect others in what they do. But not just live, really live, feel life and be connected to it. It is a gift. Open up our spirits, our minds and our hearts to feel the sacred power we all have. Love in and for all beings and mother earth. <3 Thank you for this reminder and I really hope for you that you can carry your journey the way you are meant to.
I used to be like your husband. I too thought homeopathy was a bunch of hooey. But I kept an open mind and saw what it could do. It did miracles for my son and so I started reading up on it, especially when my wife started her studies to become a homeopath. It was astounding the attacks that people like Samuel Hahnemann experienced as his simple treatments embarrassed the allopathic system. Yes, ego and greed does indeed have a role to play in the efforts to dismiss or even discredit the accomplishments of the modality. Here is an excerpt from a book written about Hahnemann's life where it describes his success in treating a plague pandemic in the 1830's and the reaction it got from the current medical system at the time. The science is indeed there, but to acknowledge it would require that we also examine our current medical system at the same time. It is a sacred cow and most people will defend it to the death if necessary.

What most people are also not willing to admit, is that the Royal Family uses homeopathy and there are places like India where homeopathy is the mainstream medical system. The pharmaceutical industrial complex has done everything they can to ensure homeopathy and other healing modalities do not take root here because it is bad for business. One cannot make money on health care when people are healthy.
Just keep walking the path my friend. It will shift and hopefully over time, your husband will 'see' the results from your efforts. The fact that you have that mutual respect for one another and that he is not trying to force his will against you is a positive and enlightened position to take within a relationship. Keep up your studies and efforts. They will pay off in the long run. Of that I am sure. <3
I learn so much from you and with @earthmother as my teacher, I know that I will have the power to do this right.
I didn't know about the Royal Family. The so called leaders not even diving in to what they want us to believe. That is funny. If my husband would be willing to just learn about it more today than from what he learned years ago, I would be grateful. In time, with new knowledge our opinions can change or stay the same. I would love for him to give it that chance. For everyone to give the chance to learn. Have an open mind and not be stricken to a controlling government telling us what is right rather than actually knowing what is.
This whole thing with vaccines and schools. Putting pressure on whether I should or not. I have avoided the problem last school year although they sent me letters about it. But then getting other parents, even my half sister, saying that my kids needed to be vaccinated because their children react to it and it would save them. How to I react to that? It is like manipulation using children yet I don't know everything about it. Do I vaccinate my kids and put them at risk to help save another person's child? Will not vaccinating actually harm another person? What if I don't vaccinate and my child gets really sick and I don't have that ability to heal and the whole big problem with CPS jumping in and I'm being sued for neglecting my kids? It makes one person very lost. It makes me lost. I don't know how to dance with this one. It is definitely a twirly, dizzying one.
Thank you for the link. I will take the time to read it :)
My dear friend, perhaps it is time for me to write a post about vaccinations and that whole circus. You were a witness to how Tammy dealt with CPS. Did you get a chance to see the letters and how to put the burden on them rather than it being on you?
I did. I was with her the whole way as much as I could. Your help has me forever grateful.
Yet it is still scary what they do. I am also witnessing everything they are doing with my(other) sister and her family. Granted that some of it being quite her fault, they still don't stop. Now trying to put it in the minds of the children that their mother no longer loves them. Trying to separate her and her boyfriend in order to investigate whether the problems that happened with his son were also done with the father included. Threatening my sister to take away her baby if she doesn't leave over a single complaint without a background. It is chaos.
Seeing what it did to Tammy and Avia... it breaks my heart as the aftermath was hard as well.
I would love to read a post about vaccinations. There are so much we don't know and it is hard to find good solid websites to count on. It is like the information is hidden from us who don't exactly know how to get it properly (?). So much fake things being put out there in order to make us feel good... I saw a video of a Dr. that stated that he stopped vaccinating. He was against them. At the end he said that if you decide to still vaccinate, pretty much overdose on vitamin C. Is that right? Can that be true? or is it just a way to get us to vaccinate anyways and feel safe? So many lies, so much manipulation, so many things that are unsure, so many if's.
So if you do write a post, I would be honored to read it and gain knowledge from it. You are a person that I feel I can trust. I don't want to make it so that I am asking you to because I have no right to take your time, but in a way, I kind of am asking because I am so lost. And in no way do I want to hurt my kids and put them in danger.
