Big big con game....always, always after you boil it down, there in the pot, sits the money.
I was talking to a customer who is thinking about remodeling her bathroom. Her husband doesn't want to part with the old cast iron tub for sentimental reasons. ????
She went on to explain. A couple years ago, they decided to have a baby. She is afraid of and doesn't trust the medical and pharmaceutical community. They decided to have the baby at home with the help of a midwife.....(I think that's what she called her).
She researched all about birthing and listened to and followed instructions from her midwife. The midwife told her to take certain natural herbs and go to the chiropractor a month or two prior to the birth.
Long story short; she had her FIRST baby at 43 years old, in that tub and it only took 3 hours from start to finish with zero complications. The little girl is now a couple years old (my guess) and she is a cutie.
She sits and plays with her books and toys while watching me install replacement windows.
I said " we could bust up the tub and your husband could keep a little piece of it in his jewel box"....she went one further and said " he could have the piece of the tub mounted on a necklace"..We laughed at the thought, but I think it may come to fruition. pretty funny, huh?
Point is, they have us sold on man made pharmaceuticals and medical doctors.....a huge money machine. They have their place, but don't rule out the naturals.
