I refused to let the modern doctors "treat" me.  All they actually told me
(and I had to drag this out of them after multiple tests had been done) was
that I had "mitral valve prolapse" and they offered to give me
beta-blockers.  *shudder*  I politely said no-thank-you and went and did my
own research.  If it was up to the docs, I wouldn't have known about the
autonomic thing and I would be fearful that at 21 I had a serious heart
condition (which the autonomic cross-wiring definitely is NOT).

Hear hear.  Our organic section is so small and sad looking, and it seems to
be quite hard to get the nourishing food that we need, which is a real
shame.  Millions (billions?) spent on agriculture, and to produce almost
nothing of value!
