They have have been tested. Do a google search. It's ignorant to believe you know everything or your culture knows everything without investigating. If a loved one or you get sick with autoimmune diseases or other things not curable by western medic...
I would like to jump in on this with a question. I have 30k in loans from undergrad and prereqs by the time I'm done (went to cheapest in state school). I am wondering what people propose as best idea for one who does not have rn or bsn or a bio ma...

Who would be funding the research? Mother Earth? The alliance of trees and bushes? Or the naturopaths that are probably not making that much money? Lolz :) I don't really know that much about naturopathy at all. But I do know that things like reishi ...

It sounds like there are a lot more shades of gray than I can even imagine, as zenman pointed out. You sound like you'd be really good at discerning the right thing.

Thank you for answering. It's good to hear about the people whose lives it's changed for the better. Id like to hear more about those! But I guess most of those people are on them and not "out" about it.

That's beautiful you teach to soldiers. I would like to work with that population. I do agree it can help some people and love that. I guess for me it's more with kids in traumatic environments where the fear or depression makes sense... last year o...

I was put on an anti-depressant as a depressed teen with two alcoholic parents and went manic. Then put on depakote, gained 40 pounds in a month and was even more depressed. For 2 years I went through a roller coaster of pharmaceuticals and inpatient...
This is such a lovely piece of writing. It brought me back to my time in India. Your path inspires me that I am on the right track, and remain hopeful that I can bring the other complementary things I've learned and practice into this field. I wou...
I appreciate this post coming from the opposite perspective of studying shamanism for years because of the webinar company I worked for and a gifted session years ago (I was skeptical and experience won me over). I now hope to become a PMHNP.
I'm pursuing prereqs to be a PMHNP, largely because this is the population I want to work with and currently work with teaching yoga and working w/ ED children. I have personally seen people helped function better by medications but I have also seen...

Thank for your responses. I was thinking about establishing residency as I do my prerequisites. The aBSN at west carolina is 15k cheaper. I'm not sure about the others in the state but I've been wanting to move for a long time. Do you know of any pu...
I'm visiting Asheville from nj in a week and am really excited to look at cheaper colleges! From my research Western Carolina is the only one near there w a BSN program? Any others? Anyone have any thoughts on Western? I *love* Asheville and would...

Thank you all for your responses - it really helps to have this support. :) I wish my college *had* a BSN program -- they only have RN-BSN. But I'm still doing the prereqs/basic classes I'd need for aBSN or a transfer school, so I have some time. Th...
