Hello everyone, my sister has been diagnosed with Graves. I’ve joined the group in hopes that I can learn more about her illness. I’m not sure that the alternative medicine is the best treatment for all, but I know that if nothing else the simplicity of hope can aid in recovery. Whether it’s herbal Chinese, acupuncture, meditation or praising your God. These activities can in my opinion give positive results. If nothing else it will fill the slots where someone could be developing caustic attitudes out of fear and anger. Stress can add to the issues of any illness and I believe many of the non-traditional methods, even if they do not directly remedy an illness. They can certainly relieve the stress associated with it. I was once told to live, love, laugh and search for a greater purpose beyond my own existence. It’s my sis that has the illness, but she was told the same thing and I am so proud that she has always tried to live by these values. I’ll pray for her everyday and encourage her to try any alternative method that gives her continued hope.
