Well it’s the beginning of a new year and its time for my annual dental checkup.  I really hate going to the dentist.    They always find something to do!  I’m not sure which dentist I will go to this time around – I’ve been unimpressed with the last couple I’ve been to.  Mind you, they have both been a bit young and possibly inexperienced.

I’d really like to go to somebody like charles brown dds pc, he has a perfect dental record with the Virginia Board of Dentistry – ZERO complaints AND he has been with the same company (Hayfield Dental Care) for over 10 years.  Inexperienced dentists don’t last that long in private practice, and in fact he has won nuerous rewards, including the Academic Achievement Award for his class.  This is the kind of dentist you want to go to – after all, you only have one set of teeth and they are worth looking after properly.  Dental care is NOT and area you want to try to save money on. 

I’ve been having some real breakthroughs with homeopathy.  It’s all self prescribed at this point (which may not be such a good idea, but what tha’ hey.)

Anyway, homoeopathy is a system of medicine introduced by a german physician Dr Samuel Hahnemann. He was basically an allopathic (regular western, normal) doctor who has left the practise because of side effects and temporary relief of symptoms of allopathy.  For his bread and butter he started translating the medical books to different languages.  While he was translating Cullen’s materia medica he came across a herbal medicine called cinchona.  It was written that cinchona can cure malaria and it can also produce symptoms similar to malaria on healthy individuals. 

They say there’s more than one way to skin a cat. The same goes when you start tearing your hair out with all the frustration, grief, anxiety, and yes, stress. It’s a state of mental conditioning that is like taking that bitter pill down your throat, causing you to lose your sense of self, and worse your sanity. Just thinking about it can drive anyone off the edge.
