In an effort to cure my ongoing maladie, I decided that I would try a Naturopath. My chiropractor suggested this woman and I think he's great, so I made an appointment. She does not speak any English. She lived in a bit of a sketchy part of Nice, an area I have never been in before. Where she lived was in a locked high rise complex that is orange in color with striped awnings. It was dark when I arrived and a little spooky. A man with very few teeth let me into the locked gate.
Her place was on the ground floor and I reluctantly entered her lair.
She was in her 70's or so with dyed blond frizzy hair. She had on harem pants and had faces of mice on her slippers. She had me sit, take off my shoes and stick out my tongue. I don't know how she could see what it looked like as the light was so dim...but she made some disapproving noises. I was escorted into a room with a massage table. I gave her my big dossier of medical records.
Then, I was instructed to take all of my clothes off except my underware....take off your bra too...with no sheet!!! and lie down on my stomach. I told her I needed a blanket or something...she said "I'll turn around, and so she did. I grabbed a blanket that was on a chair and laid down.
She proceeded to ask me all kinds of questions. I did my best to understand and answer.
She gave me a massage as she asked me questions with a ton of oil. They she examined me by pressure points? Then I had to flip over so she could do the front.
Being super shy and modest, I was uncomfortable being topless, just laying there as this woman examined me...but, I rationalized...she is a woman, a healer and I am in France. French women don't really care about being topless, it's no big deal.
So, she massaged and then checked my front. The came time to do my head. She lathered up with a big does of oil and proceeded to smear all of my make up and then work it into my hair. More rationalizations...no one will see me when I leave cause it's dark, no one cares, and I want to feel better so , have at it.
I had my eyes closed but could feel her working her spell on me, waving her hand about an inch over my body then pulling the bad energy out...strange.
After, she wrote me this nutty prescription for stuff.
I am fine with 1 and 2, but after that, Totem...99 euro a month ( that is the probiotic)
and the SynerB is 288 euro for 60 capsules all from this odd website. She wanted me to use her ID #...but it's too expensive! and I don't believe in it.
But, I did feel better when I left. I am taking the magnesium and waiting for the Juniper. I am to avoid any and all acid...no sweets, no heavy fiber...I can drink Bordeaux wine only and can have roquefort cheese but only 2x a week. No red meat....and many many more things.
It was interesting but a cure? I don't think so.
She did mention a few things that it might be that i'm going to look further in.
