Well I wish someone would tell the so-called "Quackbusters" that the crusade against medicine they call alternative is over!

I work with nutrition, herbs and Oriental medicine. This was THE medicine of Asia for most of history, and has as much validity as western treatments. When a stroke patient, a year and a half standing suddenly loses the stiff deviation of her tongue and can begin to talk, or the elderly woman bent almost double can stand straight, the man with Parkinsons can stop trembling and walk with balance, or the fibromyalgia patient gets up and can go to work, then something besides "placebo" is going on.

See acupuncturebrooklyn.com for articles on the so-called alternative medicine that gets to the root of the problem.

Every time you come up with an unorthodox treatment someone feels compelled to say; "well, the mind is an amazing thing.

If you are convinced magnesium chloride (or substitute anything else that really works) is good for anxiety and depression you

will talk yourself into temporary relief. It's called the placebo effect. Do you really think people would be spending thousands

of dollars for SSRI's if your bloody "sea water" actually worked." Well, I wasted 40 years of my freaking life dealing with

crippling anxiety and did spend thousands of dollars on SSRI's as well as thousands more on alternative MD's. I can't

really say which was worse the five antidepressants, benzos, or the fish oil and the 15 other vitamins I was taking.

Basically, after you cough up about $5000.00 THEN they start getting serious about treating you and they

can't recommend something in their practice w/o going through "tests" for something that is harmless to begin with.

I stopped all caffeine with no effect. I spent $30.00 on a bottle of Mg chloride and put it in a foot bath, and that was all

I had to do. It's been 8 months now and it doesn't just work for me it works for thousands of other "deluded" souls.

Got cramping in the legs? Try it, it will work. Restless legs syndrome? Try it, it might work. If you're hooked on

caffeine, you've just found the antidote to Mg chloride.
