    maybe they like to be "in control" ? maybe they do not like authority figures ? maybe there is this perception of cost ?
    i remember my parents and relatives, when i was very young. they have this aversion going to the doctor, because the doctor is a total stranger(?), because he costs money(?), or because we must adjust to his work schedule (?)..
    but when the neighbor's son came home from training as a doctor... aba! every other cough at pinapa-punta na kami sa kanyang bahay! it is only now that i am a doctor myself, that i pity that neighbor's son... trabaho na sa ospital, trabaho pa rin sa bahay...

    a study on why even learned folks turn to alternative medicine, came up with... "because it aligns with their philosophy and/or expands their options".
    i treat my doctors "ala chk and balance" what i do, may feedback pa din sa kanila, like when my bp was too low and was still taking meds, i still asked for advice, its been 2 years, no maintainance whatsoever...

    yung pei pa koa na ginagamit ko, ay hard-candy-type preparation, individually wrapped in plastic-backed gold-colored foil. available in the supermarket, as well as in chinese drug stores.
    "recommended by my chinese qaqilalas." panacea for a variety of ailments, daw.
    i do not know what the ingredients are, but it tastes good. parang mint liquor...

    Thankfully my temp is normal now. Yung isa naman sa bahay nilagnat

    My kuya cousin dropped by today and had me drink 1000 mg of Vit C and 6 capsules for my Immunity daw. I am having palpitations now. I am not sure if it's because my body was shocked with the the amount I took or this is from stress
