Unless her health problems are dealt with the other legs of the stool
arent going to balance things. Medicine made it possible for me to lose
weight and get healthier. Without my thyroid pills for instance I dont
care how much inner healing or appeals to God or herbs I would take, Id
be sicker then a dog again. Metformin got rid of insulin problems and I
did what I could with diet before going on it 6 months ago but I am
noticing I am jumping over another hurdle again that stood in my way of
full health recovery.
