The World I Live In
​I refuse to live
locked in the orderly house of
   reasons and proofs
The world I live in and believe in is wider than that. And anyway,
   what's wrong with Maybe?

You wouldn't believe what once or
twice I have seen.  I'll just
   tell you this:
only if there are angels in your head will you 
​   ever, possibly, see one

​Response testing using a pendulum, which is much like muscle testing, was of prime importance for feedback for nutrition and supplementation.  I understand the challenges of chronic illness and what it takes to recover and maintain health and well-being.  I know the toll it takes on a family to have an unwell parent or child, and the wave that creates. Thyroid clients come to me after having received the same lack of wisdom from medicine that I did 30 years ago, which I find disturbing and motivating.  I don't believe at 32 with a young family in tow we should be told that feeling tired and unwell is normal.  It isn't, and it is a write-off that too often occurs to women.  If you are "lucky" you leave with pharmaceutical thyroid replacement, which you pay for down the line (and you never feel well even with it, just less half-dead).  While acute medical care is life-saving and works well, general medicine has shifted and become less humane and more about symptom suppression through pharmaceuticals.  The lack of time a doctor is allotted for a patient, combined with their belief that people "need" and want to leave with a prescription creates a system that pushes people through and burns out many doctors.  And moves a lot of pharma.
