Gratitude-Medicine In All Its Forms



I have been fighting against Western medicine for the past couple of years. After a serious health issue several years ago, I vowed that I would not be put on any more pills. Although my prescribed medication at the time was necessary, I did not want any more. I wanted there to be another way. So when other health issues arose, I sought natural remedies.

With guidance and direction, the natural remedies seemed to be making a difference. Combined with major lifestyle changes, I felt healthy and vibrant. I found spiritual avenues to support my path. Yet, just when I felt healthier than ever, another health challenge hit. I had decisons to make..I wanted to dig in, to deny that traditional Western medicine was the answer. Alternative(natural) remedies had made a difference, but it was not enough.

In a conversation with someone I greatly respect, who lives a very healthy, clean life, she said words to me about my dilemna that resonated. In regards to my internal conflict on whether to pursue a traditional remedy, she simply said to me, "Everything is God made manifest." LIGHTNING BOLT!!

There is a place for all things and Western medicine is a gift when used appropriately. I am grateful that knowledgeable doctors were available last week to care for me. I am grateful that there is something that will complement my natural regimen to bring my health back.

I am grateful for all of it, for the great minds that seek out answers, for the knowledge available to help. It is ALL God made manifest.
