Treatment Contra-Indications

A Contra-Indication…

Indicates that a form of treatment may not be appropriate. The following is presented as fair warning and precaution. Proceed with any therapy, natural or not, by considering alternatives and appropriate risks that you are prepared to take. The primary variable is whether you understand natural healing processes and are prepared to commit totally to them. A fence rider is one who half-way believes in natural healing processes but wants to suppress some symptoms - and is finds that the natural healing process doesn't work. Natural healing works for people whose characters support their taking responsibility for their own healing.
