Thank you for your comment, and glad you enjoyed the post.
I’d say having no clue is a great way to be – when I set up this blog I thought I’d included a strap-line: “Where not knowing the answers is the answer.” (My techie skills are minimal and it somehow disappeared.)

It seems the subject of illness tends to spread folks along a spectrum ranging from those who see western medicine as the hope for all cures and those who stomp and shout about the necessity of letting Nature battle maladies. But there is almost universal agreement that illness is an enemy and needs to be responded to as such.

I have no clue as to where I stand on this personally – I hadn’t thought about your idea until reading your article just now. But it’s given me something new and intriguing to think about this morning. Nothing better than a fresh idea to go with coffee and the leftovers my kids give me from breakfast – Thanks.
