Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pipp" data-source="post: 1265051" data-attributes="member: 100904">Thanks for the good wishes. Too late though.Having had 6 major surgeries and countless minor surgeries in my time. Would be dead if I hadn't. I am no stranger to pain. The side effects from the modern medicines to control the pain led to my conclusion that for MYSELF, meditation is a much better analgesic than morphine, as I am allergic to the opiates. True I had general anaesthetic for most of the surgical procedures. I would if possible have chosen hypnosis but no surgeon was willing to risk that.  So I had no choice but to endure the severe side effects to the anaesthetics each time. I prefer to use the term 'complimentry treatments' rather than 'alternative' as there are benefits to be had from both moden science and the complimentary therapies that encourage the body to heal.Oh, and yes, I do acknowledge that there are plenty of charlatans peddling snake oil, but I also believe some doctors and surgeons haven't always worked in the best intrests of the patient too.</blockquote>
