"Legally" I am supposed to state that any medical advice you find here, or online, shouldn't be used without the advice of a "real" doctor. So, if you have one of those, please talk about it with him. Personally, I don't use doctors, unless for something serious, like a missing limb, heart attack or snake bite. 99% of illnesses and injuries I take care of...
Oh, there are lots of books and blogs around, especially on self reliance, self sufficiency, homesteading and the like. I really strive not to imitiate, but to share my perspective of what I learn and find.
I like any of the herbal medical books by Penelope Ody, "Where there are no doctors" and "Where there are no Dentists". So far I have managed not to poison myself. I normally test everything new out on myself, and record results. I tell my family what I have taken "just in case". I don't do things arbitrarily, but really research symptoms, diseases, and treatment. I have also been taking an online herbal medical course that helps provide the necessary information on treating self and family for most illnesses. Other than having my 2 year old at the hospital, we haven't been to the doctor much in that time. The kids not at all, and I have been to the chiropractor, and to the GYN (kind of hard for me to see that part of my body, so I do go to the doctor once a year), but other than this..I doctor the family.
After reading another blog recently, it reminded me that I need to re-stock my herbal medical cabinet.
Just discovered your blog and have bookmarked it to follow. Could you tell me more about the online herbal medical course you are taking? I am looking for one and could use some recommendations.
