hi lisa,
i'm a massage therapist and a true believer in alternative therapies. there's a mind/body connection that "modern medicine" doesn't really recognize, and as you said in your post, their solution is usually a pharmaceutical one. the plant kingdom has more natural solutions in the form of herbs, essences, and homeopathics. i have been practicing a meridian-based therapy where you tap certain parts of your body. you can learn more about this at [moderator: you may email bev if you would like the url] the list of things/people you could get help from is a long one, and if you're willing to go in that direction, it's a fascinating learning experience. doors will open you never even dreamed of! trust your inner guidance and pay attention to how you feel about what you have to choose from. you've already begun to ask for support from the asc2k list, and there have been some wonderful replies. know that we're here for you, whatever you decide to do!
healing love,
bev
