My Endless Quest

In my seemingly endless quest to make myself into a healthy, happy human being, I decided to visit a Naturopath.

Cue the clucking of tongues and throwing heavenwards of eyes. "Naturopath, pah... what a load of rubbish". Far-be-it for my to say I'm a hippy but I'm certainly disillusioned with conventional medicine.

So off I went to the Botanicals Herbal Dispensary in Hataitai to visit a tiny little naturopath called Anya. Who prescribed me the most rancid, foul-smelling concoction that I have ever put into my body. She also suggested Omega-3 combination and something called Glucobalance, which is supposed to regulate my pancreatic function or something like that. In layman's terms, it's meant to stop me from eating crap.

So far I've noticed very little difference as a result of the herbs. They are supposed to help me with my monthly difficulties and also help me to stop sugar cravings and eat properly. I went to see her for the second time today and told her this and she has decided to change my herbs and add Psyllium to help with the stomach upset that has been happening.

So what's the diagnosis of naturopathy? Well.... to be honest I think it may be the diet more than the herbs that is helping me. I'll keep going for another month and see if there is any change with the new herbs. I'd really like for this to be an answer. God knows I never feel totally well but I guess it's a matter of trial and eror.

She also did Iridology which I was a bit wary of. She pretty much told me that my body doesn't like stuff being done with. Which is true. And that my body is overly sensitive. So maybe there's something in it. However I had already told her this.

I guess I'm going to trust her on this one and see what we can do. It's fairly expensive, but it's my body so I think it's wise to invest in it.

More news as it comes to hand...
