I once saw a medical herbalist
and he gave me some god-awful potion to take all full of natural crap. I had to dilute that but it wasn't a homoeopathic remedy, it needed dilution because it was fucking horrible.

Did the trick though - the GP said I had possible gall stones brought on by liver damage (through previous meds I'd been on) - he said I'd have to avoid various foods for the foreseeable future or have my gall bladder removed - I was about 25 at the time. The herbalist gave me some vile concoction which helped heal my liver and I was fine.

However....as we all know from watching House and Grey's Anatomy, the liver naturally regenerates itself so I'd have probably been fine anyway, eventually.

Doctors, herbalists, homoeopaths, all of them BASTARDS!

News just in,
A large band of shouty hippies burned down a medical centre this lunchtime. "We want proper medecine, " they chanted. "Stuff you can't argue about."

There were no arrests, as the police could not be arsed.

I do
unless I was abducted by aliens and they removed it without my knowledge.

This is always a possibility in rural areas you know.

I was once abducted by Al - I have only the haziest recollection of it...seemed to involve goats - it was *that* long ago.
