How else can one learn compassion but by paying attention to ones needs? How else can one understand the needs of others than by trying to be in their shoes?

I recall vividly that Jean Netario Cruz told me that until the medical doctors are in pain themselves they wont bother with her magnesium.

But I can’t believe my doctor friends have not been in pain. I would rather believe they have been using pharmaceuticals all these years which have worked for them so why bother to try something different.

An old doctor, a friend, told me he would not prescribe anything not tested by Harvard researchers!!!

I was given a chance to understand the pharmaceutically-driven doctors last Nov 29. I twisted my left foot while attending to my plants before going to mass. I sprayed magnesium on my foot right away. I could not apply magnesium again during the 3 hrs or more I was in the mall. When I finally stood up to walk to the car, the pain was almost unbearable.

I cried a bit before I drank medicine to make the pain bearable. It took 6 tablets over 2 days to restore my left foot to normalcy. I felt I had violated my own program to stay away from mainstream tablets. If only I had been prudent enough to bring magnesium with me to the mall.
