Oh my gosh! I had a few red dots on my legs. SHINGLES. Went away. Look at the below. Why do people believe in their 'doctors'? I need to find a post I made about some doctors.
That depends a touch... If it is an emergency, like I need something cut off or bolted back on, Western med is the best there is, and I will trust them pretty dang far once the anesthesia kicks in... Broken bones and stitches... I been down that road my whole life with em, and with much confidence.
But illness... especially in the long term... wouldn't trust em as far as I can throw em. MUCH prefer my Cheyenne medicine man...
Same goes for births... Our first was horror highway, scared to death the whole time, Spinabiffeda, German measles, twins... right down the garden path all the way to a cesarean. And a fifteen thousand dollar bill, which wasn't chump change back then.
The other three kids we had at home with a midwife, natural remedies, and herbs, and never cost me more than $1500 again.
