Hi,

what do you mean, CK???

Yeah, I too was diagnosed at your age when I was in college. Then the doc's try to experiment with different kinds of medicine to see what will work. I agree with you that western medicine is not always the best solution. The Chinese culture has thousands of years of knowledge in medicine, so I do think that it would be wise to see what this place has to say about treatments for N. I do believe that there are effective treatments out there for this but they either havenot been found yet, or they have been banned by our governments. My father's grandmother was a pure blooded native american and he told me stories about how she would gather herbs and other natural stuff and create cures for certain things from it. So I do believe that it is worth looking into this Chinese herb thing.
However do not ignore the medical facts of this disorder either. Research has proven that we have damaged neuro transmitters that create a chemical called hypocritin. So I would doubt that the problem is because we have weak immune systems??? But if the immune system was involved with the cause of this disorder then probably there might be a link??? Who am I to say, I do not know anymore then you do about what the cause is for why we have N?
