well she was certainly very ignorant to say ibs and colitis were the same thing! thats not right.... however, you are all really slamming naturopathy. speaking as a naturopath and as a person that has undergone care from a naturopath I don't think you are being fair (all of you that slammed naturopathy). You are also all guilty of generalising. Nobody has ever helped me with my IBS as much as a naturopath (which is what inspired me to become one myself). I can certainly vouch for the existance of what is known as a 'healing crisis' (under Herings Law of Cure) having experienced it a number of times. However, I will say this, that it should be brought on by well rounded lifestyle changes NOT one product (Reliv) which is part of the 'quickfix' culture we all live in...Healing crises are made to happen though dietary change, exercise, hot baths etc... I took heather acacia three times and it made me so ill I stopped because I could tell the difference between a healing crisis and something that simply didn't agree with me. if the reliv was really creating a healing crisis you would have seen it happen a few weeks into the process, not immediately. this woman was also ignorant with respect to the fact that she says it works for everyone. NOTHING works for everyone. we are all unique. its a good thing you stopped taking it...but please don't slam naturopathy that way...yes, there are a lot of quacks out there, but there are a lot of devoted ones too....and you are not being different from the nurse generalising about the product when you generalise about naturopaths. stepping down off my soapbox now. feel better.
