Guest guest Posted May 27, 1999 Report Share Posted May 27, 1999 Hi Ann and Everyone, I am way behind in reading my mail _ I am in the process of working my way backwards so I have not read what said. So I am speculating, most diseases and disorders are not modern - they have been around - but perhaps were not reported on sufficiently or information about them disseminated (after all today we have much better communication, etc) or recognized and given a name. I am sure that many people died from cancer, etc. before a name was given to the disease process or their cause of death was unknown or attributed to something else. Despite the fact that sometimes the medicine that is prescribed for use doesn't work or has bad side effects, I am a lot more comfortable with medicine prescribed by a medical profession (i.e., an M.D.) and that has been tested and evaluated in scientifically sound, controlled, blinded studies. I am constantly amazed at the number of people who think " natural " (whatever that means, some of the most dangerous and toxic substances in the world are " natural " ) is better than traditional or prescribed medications. Why someone would think that because something grows or exists in nature it is better than something that man, through his research and brain and testing, has developed escapes me. I have tried homeopathic remedies - I am not close-minded - dozens - the only one I have had any positive experience with is Kava Kava - it does seem to help me sleep - off the soapbox - and on with catching up with my e-mail. I wish everyone a restful night. Jane P.S. To - with all of the noise lately about people hearing from you who don't want to hear from you, I just want to tell you that I have asked you twice and the list once for any information re Sinemet causing depression. I think you must only like to talk to people who give you a hard time, so when you answer me (if you do), I will post your message to the whole list (if you don't) - just trying to push you into replying (LOL) RAINBOWPED. --- Ann Cianflone ann@...> wrote: > , I hate to tangle with you but....from what I > have read, there is a > description of rls given by a Willis back in > 1685.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 1999 Report Share Posted May 27, 1999 aside from diseases that have been with humanity since the dawn of its time and the adverse effects of pollution and environmental factors let us not forget that many diseases develop because we now live much longer than our ancestors - bodies age and something kills us eventually.....modern medicine 'cures' something we've developed but the end result is the same .. if it weren't for modern medicine i would have died about 10 times so far...... JACK waiting for the invention of an immortality pill and the cure to rls - patiently At 01:40 PM 5/27/99 -0700, you wrote: > > >Hi Ann and Everyone, > >I am way behind in reading my mail _ I am in the >process of working my way backwards so I have not read >what said. > >So I am speculating, most diseases and disorders are >not modern - they have been around - but perhaps were >not reported on sufficiently or information about them >disseminated (after all today we have much better >communication, etc) or recognized and given a name.
