One should never doubt the advice given by a medical professional when it comes to general self-maintenance but don’t compromise with pursuing other alternatives, it shows off how black and white you are. I say “what have you got to lose?” What do you say to Dr Give-Me-A-Lifeline when he has just told you you’re not going to see your grandson become a man nor are you ever going to hear a jumbo jet? “Cheque please” and follow the exit.
Sceptics, understandably, will refuse to turn to alternatives like religious aids or even herbal doctors and would rather “live it out”. Thankfully there are open minded people out there who will give anything a try to combat the work of the devil. Although medical doctors do provide a stimulus for our everyday well-being, they have exhausted other options we could pursue by impeding us with demands to “stay on the bandwagon”: they do this by more or less saying “we are the ONLY ones who can help you”. Of course, we can decide who we should consult but, over the past century in New Zealand, laws and regulations, and media scrutiny, have impeded us from consulting, to put it frankly, spiritual doctors and experts by suppressing and undermining their practice.
Prior to colonisation here in Aotearoa, certain types of tohunga were the doctors of the Maori world and employed ancient Maori lore and charms to heal the sick and the bewildered. Their provisions were just as effective as panadol for a common migraine. The tohunga suppression act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tohunga_Suppression_Act_1907
strictly prohibits Maori faith healing and thus a part of Maoridom has been lost...Or has it? Janet Moses of Wainuiomata turned to an exorcist-type practice after a Makutu or curse was supposedly placed on her through an object in her position. Although the result of the Makutu lifting ceremony proved fatal for Ms Moses, her family had the best of intentions. The media were having a field month on the case. It rests sombrely in the shadow of Emily Rose, as it would seem. And, these “alternatives”, from the perspective of ignorant-public, thanks to a bastardised portrayal in the media, are deemed a no go zone. It’s all a part of a plot to diminish traditionalism and humaneness: lending a caring hand. The case is all too synonymous with that of the exorcism of Emily Rose. No other means of treatment could have cured her, no modern medicine, nothing! Cases like this rely purely on celestial means of healing as it is the doing of a phenomenon beyond the human world. Chinese doctors are possibly the only experts of medicine who employ traditional healing methods, i.e. acupuncture, reflexology, that the public accepts on the mainstream circuit. This tiny little flicker has ignited a beacon of hope for other cultures to employ their own traditional methods. Ok, ok, so my blog may sound a little strange, and by this time your thinking this guy is absolutely nuts: from one silly blog to the next, but the core of it is to remind people that there are alternatives to modern medicine out there that are being suppressed by society and deemed unethical by the media ref: the way the media have portrayed a bias on the Maori practice of lifting a curse http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/wellington/2499938/Makutu-teens-future-in-hands-of-CYF

I stumbled upon a rather interesting theory by David Ickes, who hails from Britain. He believes that “the Swine Flu pandemic is not the biggest fear... it’s the vaccine”. His perspective of life is slightly diverse for “the norm” but it is a good read. Check out his story http://www.davidicke.com/content/view/25191.

This is also an interesting debate on the swine flu: pandemic or propaganda?
