When a symptom flares its ugly head and makes us feel horrible, we all would like to celebrate relief from it, even if for only a few hours. The question everyone wants the answer to is: what is wrong with me? My answer to this question will likely surprise you.
There are over 160 medical specialties and subspecialties in the United States. If you want a name for the troubling symptom you confront, which of the 160 medical specialties can answer your question? Your general practitioner will help sort this out for you and make a referral.
The visit to the medical specialty referral will likely yield a name for your condition and medicines to treat it. This may well offer welcome relief, but sometimes not. If not. a second referral is needed, then perhaps a third and a fourth, all of which reveal different names (and diagnoses) for your condition.
And please give the medical professionals a break. They are viewing your condition from a very focused lens given their specialty. They are taking into consideration only one of many systems in the body that keep us alive and well.
I for one prefer a different approach. Support the body’s ability to heal from the inside out with natural therapies and methods, regardless of what symptoms might present right now.
Instead of suppressing a symptom caused by a presumably “flawed” body, honor the ability of the body to return to a balance of balance and harmony.

Below is an email I received from Brad which offers a fresh perspective on the meaning associated with neurological symptoms.
I got “PD’ed” at church today. I was a visitor and had no sooner entered than I was greeted by a young man with very obvious Down Syndrome. He instantly spotted my shaking hand and said with a big smile,
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to be nervous, it’s only Ash Wednesday. Or perhaps you’re very excited because you have such a beautiful wife!”
From his perspective there was absolutely nothing “wrong” with me; to the contrary everything was “right” with me. My partner and I agreed that there was a profound lesson to be learned from this man’s innocent and perceptive observation. Brad
