“She who hides her symptoms, cannot expect to get well.”

I was recently reading a fantastic article at SDGLN.com that discussed the importance of finding a safe trusted practitioner as well as being completely forthcoming about medical history and the symptoms that are present at the time of treatment.

Andrea Beth Damsky, L.Ac., MSTOM, Dipl. OM writes “She who hides her symptoms, cannot expect to get well.” Some years ago, I saw this quote on a wall at an AIDS/HIV testing facility.  I remember it came from some tribe in Africa, and the truth of it chilled me to the bone.  I wrote it down and never forgot it.

She  discusses the challenges the gay and lesbian community has encountered in the past with the medical establishment as well as the education has been done, that ensures everyone knows how to seek out and receive the best medical attention possible.
