Welcome to The Meadow ~~ A learning, healing garden

     This area of Paisley's garden is dedicated to open discussion and ready access of information about alternative therapies. Our aim is to allow you, the "health consumer", to know that there is choice, that there are alternatives to conventional healing therapies.

     If you have just stumbled across this page, please... don't leave yet... take a look around and see if something interests you. Most alternative medicine therapy is not quackery, and not anyone on this earth can say that they are in perfect health. Conventional drug therapies are invasive and potentially harmful... necessary, yes, in emergencies and some other situations... but often, a gentler, more natural therapy is available as an alternative. You might even consider an alternative therapy to use in conjunction with traditional prescription drug therapy - for example, an acidophilus supplement while using antibiotics.

     The choice is up to you... and that, of course, is the issue. These are our bodies, and no one but us can decide what to do with them... we only ask that you keep an open mind, and remember that you should always have choice in making decisions about your health.

     We are glad to see you... hope you enjoy your visit, and the information here... in the meantime, feel free to browse through the aisles (nothing is sold here - it's just to keep everything organized). If you have any questions, find your favourite way to get in touch and ask away!

A Corkboard will show the sheduled times and dates of the chats, as well as the topic and any featured speakers. We invite you to submit any alternative health fairs, news, courses, and conferences that will be held in your area. While you're there, why don't you leave us a note to let us know you visited?

     We will also be adding an "aisle" devoted to discussion explicitly for helping you decide which therapy is the best one for you... and tips to help you avoid being taken in by a scam.

Here's to your health... and healthy choices!
