RE: Freedom Friday: Fringes of the Internet Full of Dangerous Information, or otherwise?
You handled that like a boss!! Your attitude and humblness broke down his barriers and he gained a little trust there! Brilliant read, agree with you 100%. The UK is not too alternative medicine friendly either, but it's been heartwarming to hear some my clients report that their doctors were enquiring about what they were doing differently to warrant such improvement, they would tell them reflexology or healing etc, and most of those doctors did not respond negatively, and told them to continue with it as it seemed to be helping. So it seems the many more medical staff are become more aware, it's hard not to if you are online, you will be challenged to think at some point. It appears to be that they are just very tightly controlled. The National health service here is being privatised right under our noses, and people are too distracted to notice. I think in the near future people will be turning more to natural medicine as free health care will be gone and we are now a country in poverty, and a sick one at that. If you're already sick you will struggle to get insurance, so, im happy to see more and more alternative health practitioners popping up literally everywhere. It was kind of disheartening at first, but i realise now i think the light workers are preparing to get the uk through some dark times ahead!
That's awesome - when I was there, it wasn't that easy to find practitioners, although i do remember getting cranio-sacral therapy! I think there are a lot of doctors who are actually quite open minded and know about the efficacy of alt therapies for sure. I think the problem's more at a government mandate level, media, and the big money in drugs, which you could even extend to health products as well, because not all of them are ethical either! Oh, the poor UK - we were talking about it last night as hubby's going home for Christmas and I'm staying here. I was joking that he might not come home, and he said, yeah, like I'd love to stay in post Brexit UK. Clearly, he'll be coming home :) - it's interesting what you say about how they'll have to depend on nat med as free health care disappears - that's what I see in other countries via nat med account postings here on Steemit. People HAVE to turn to alternatives because there IS no system they can rely on that's affordable.
