I think the best time to learn any subject is:
- when you can afford it
- before you need to know it

My only concern would be with enrolling in a small school, one that might be forced to shut down under budgetary pressures.

In reply to How I Healed, I’d say that health care is /not/ a depression-proof industry.

On the point of not watching the news – I think I was reading Dr. Weil when he suggested not watching or reading the news any more – this was about a year ago, and for the most part, I have stopped. I don’t even have cable TV any more which helps. I think my happiness and outlook have really improved and I don’t feel quite so anxious about things any more. I really mean that. News is toxic.

In a down economy people still needs their health care needs met. I don’t look at Chinese Medicine at a high ticket or discretionary item. Alternative Medicine will always be in demand because Western Medicine just cannot solve people’s health care needs and those who are looking to heal will seek out alternatives like Chinese Medicine.

Those are just my opinions.. anyone agree?

Sastun happens to be one of those books I’ve had a few copies of and eventually give away. It’s a fun, inspiring read. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Abdallah, I hadn’t heard of the book, Sastun; Look forward to reading it now. Thanks.

Well, this economic downturn after all only hastens my plans to be like Don Elijio Panti from the book Sastun. And as Julie said, aligning an individual with her true nature is the highest form of results.

Health care at its best–aligning individuals with their true nature– is an investment in a more fulfilling and productive economy. Of course, the economic and political reality is currently based on insanity, and we could lose sight of our purposes in order to appear relevant to this insanity. Better to do what we do, and as Abdallah said, do it well.

i’ve got a couple of things to add:

1) CM is one of the cheapest, most effective modalities in the healing realm. as it continues to make itself known via good practitioners, its benefits will become more apparent and its use and popularity will increase, simply because it is cost-effective.

2) when the economy is down, that is the best time to be in school: government tends to cut interest rates for school loans to encourage people to re-train.
