57 Homeopathic Homily
By this time the ongoing lack of sleep had taken its toll.
My sleep pattern consisted of me occasionally dozing off for 5 minutes, only to be awoken by pain.
This fresh wave of pain seemed to roll in about every twenty minutes, decimating my 5-minute nap.
I was often semi-delirious, moaning and praying, and then would doze off for another five minutes only to be woken up with intense pain. And so the cycle continued.
About this time Dr. Arias began giving me a homeopathic medicine, St. John’s Wort, which did seem to have a calming effect on my otherwise shot nerves.
Homeopathy, from what I learned, is based on nature's Law of Cure, and uses remedies prepared from natural substances to stimulate the body's own healing power. And unlike antibiotics and other such medicines, homeopathic pills do not hamper digestion, or lower body's resistance.
My basic philosophy is to use all available resources to properly take care of myself, be it proper nutrition, alternative medicines or doctor's care or traditional medicines, where appropriate. I have found some things that have helped and some that have not.
It’s still a case of having to use your best judgment, a mix of good old common sense and prayer.
