Hi, I th ink it is very important to keep our bodies in as good shape as is possible. All these so-called alternative metehods I see as fine adjumcts to the use of medication. If I can use Anne Gill's yoga exercises to straighten out my toes, it makes life a lot more comfortable for me. But it does not cure the problem, or remove its cause. I think it is very important we should stay as fit and as healthy and as stroong as we can, so we can fight this thing from a position of strength. To give in is to give up. Eat healthy, do exedrcises, meditate if that's your thing - whatever makes you feel better - and you will feel better. But I don't believe that alternative methods will create miracles on their own. It will take medical research to come up with a cure. But we should be in as healthy a state as possible when the cure arrives - so that we can take full advantage of it. So, vitamins and yoga, here I come - keep me strong till the coming of the cure! Rose Rowton wrote: > > Hi, I think its a great idea, and I would certainly use it.
