I can’t tell you the number of times that I have heard that comment from the various types of MDs that my patients have gone to–dermatologists, opthamologists, even internists, insisting that things like eye drops, cortizone cremes, and the like will have no effect on the body as a whole because it will be limited to the location that it is being placed upon.
This is another example of the fragmented state of affairs conceptualizing the human body today as viewed by the Western paradigm. It is another implication that our body is not connected. It seems inconceivable to take this position, but, I do continue to be in awe at the differrences in the way our intellect perceives identical information.
Getting back to my original point–if you are using things like eye drops, ear drops, eye cremes, anti-fungal solutions on your toe nails–these all have an effect on your bladder! Any substance touching your skin will effect the areas of inflammation within.
I have too many times been on a phone call with someone who never thought to tell me after months and months or sometimes longer that they were regularly doing something of this nature and never thought to tell me because it never occured to them it was even significant. It IS!
So, please let me know if there are things that you are doing in your daily routine that we have not discussed before.
