Oh my god Luc. That is just ... well I don't have words... I'm just so sorry you had to go through all that.
It's funny. My mother was anti-meds and pro-natural remedies 35 years ago. She was well ahead of her time. But being a teenager when she first started really pushing it on me, I rebelled. We used to have wholemeal bread and I hated it. I wanted to have WHITE bread like everyone else. Anyhow, I went the other way and went for meds and The Establishment. I also couldn't understand why, when she suffered depression, she wouldn't take the tablets. I mean, ok, so you hate putting chemicals in your body but you are really suffering? Don't you want to get well?
It's a funny world because she admits to embracing western medicine a lot more now and I've gone the other way! Not to an extremist point of view though. I just think it's 'horses for courses'. If you have a broken arm, or need surgery, then western medicine has a lot to offer. But for other things, sometimes a natural approach is better.
