This website was prompted by
the medical profession’s vicious attack on Prince Charles after he advocated
the integration of Complementary Therapies with science-based medicine within the NHS (2000). Their objection that these therapies
are not evidence-based and potentially dangerous has led to the withdrawal of
funding for them (see controversy).
Even acupuncture, which was on offer in NHS pain clinics, is no longer
available.
I realised that pharmaceutical
drugs were the cause of my chronic illnesses in 1988 and stopped taking these
allopathic drugs except when absolutely necessary for a short time, e.g. when
abscessed tooth was extracted. I had
to find other ways of maintaining my health and am fitter now aged 75 in 2020
than I was 32 years ago. After my
husband was fitted with a pacemaker when aged 78, we took him off all
medication in 2018. He started to recover from multiple medical conditions,
including varicose vein bleeds, severe oedema of the lower body from waist
down, legs oozing honey-like fluids below the knees, eczema, ulcers, body
wide rashes, etc. His prostate cancer and lymphoma of the bone marrow are
stable and are only being monitored.
Even at age 80, the body is still showing evidence of its capacity to
recover.
Unfortunately he was diagnosed
with osteopenia in late 2019 which had caused spontaneous fractures of the spine
and hip and collapse of a spinal disc causing a lot of pain. These were some
of the side-effects of medication he had been on. We tried morphine-based pain killers but
took him off it when it caused double incontinence, excessive sleepiness and
dizziness which were disastrous for a totally blind person. He fell in January 2020 and was in hospital
for 2 weeks with a further fracture to the hip and was sent home with
anaesthetic patches (since we refused morphine). Two days after he had acupuncture, we were
able to stop ALL medication including the pain killers and laxatives. He has
been pain free since then. He was offered various
aids, including a wheelchair at the start of 2020 since he could hardly
stand. But, by the end of 2020 he is
able to go for walks and little runs with his tri-rollator
and do stretching exercises without support.
Yet, the medical profession
are unwilling to recognise personal testimony which is dismissed as
anecdotal; even consultants are disciplined and suspended by the General
Medical Council (GMC) for speaking the truth. However, many charities for
life-threatening diseases, such as cancer, now offer some complementary
therapies.
This site provides anecdotal
records of home cures and therapies which have worked/failed for me and
people whom I know personally. It is a useful resource for us in case
we forget what we did as we age. I also note some of the triggers which
I believe caused those ailments and illnesses; and, present other debatable
ideas.

Very few complementary
therapies are now available through the NHS. The NHS Trust Association
has compiled a Directory of Practitioners for use by the medical profession
and if you are unable to gain access to a therapist, try this page - http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/complementary-alternative-medicine/Pages/complementary-alternative-medicines.aspx
Open-minded scientists often
draw on systematic records kept by others. I hope that our records will
find wider use in the research of others.
