Over the weekend I experienced pain in my flank (back) and side which had me thinking I might have a kidney stone or infection, so I went to the doctor to make sure my kidneys were ok. It turned out to be a minor gallbladder attack due to too much dairy. Even though this was the diagnosis the doctor wanted to give me 2 prescriptions for an anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxer in the event the pain continued. I declined.
As I was driving into work this morning I was thinking about my visit to this conventional medicine doctor on Tuesday. I remember at least two decades back that the first course of treatment by most conventional doctors was to try simple natural remedies first. Like removing the source of the problem, changing ones habits, etc. They weren't so quick to grab the script pad. I can't help but wonder if due to our wanting instant relief and "cures" if we have been partly responsible for conditioning doctors to the more recent wave of pushing pharmaceutical drugs.

Leg Cramps?
I have suffered from nightly leg cramps for years.
My electrolytes, potasium and calcium are at the correct levels. I have tried just about everything in search of relief and some sleep.To name a few - I have tried; daily detox (liver and kidney), muscle recovery tea, bananas daily, magnesium supplement...... all with no results. I even have been so far (in past years before my eyes being opened to natural healing) as to try muscle relaxers with no relief.
I think I have finally found the answer (thanks Lyndal). Leg Cramps PM by Hylands. This is a homeopathic all natural treatment. First I drink a cup of tea after dinner - 1 bag of Traditional Medicinal Lemon EveryDay Detox Tea and 1 bag of Yogi Muscle Recovery Tea and then I take 3 tabs under the tongue followed by a few sips of water just before retiring for the night. You can buy all of these products at the grocery store.
I have slept for 3 nights in a row using this regimen. I am really in shock to have found relief after more than 10 years of suffering.
