When I asked my father what his mother thinks about alternative health care he said, "She is narrow minded. She only believes what Sarah Palin tells her to believe" One time my grandmother came over and had a cold. I asked her if she would like tea. She agreed. I pored her a cup of the only tea we had in the house called "Yogi breathe deep". She said, "Your mother is a which. How could she give you that hippy crap." So her view on health care is essentially that when someone is sick they should just drink an entire boodle of Night Quil and sleep for 12 hours. And if that doesn't work then go to the emergency room. So as my dad grew up he decided to appose everything he ever hurt his mother say. Which I think was, for the most part, a wise decision.
My parents follow the recommended the allopathic health precautions. They are no ware near as afraid of homeopathic health ideas as my grandmother. My parents get acupuncture when they have health issues. There opinions on what to do when you are not terminally ill but are sick, are similar to mine.
When I asked my dad what he thinks should happen when someone is terminally ill he said, "Let them die in as much comfort as possible." I did not have the opportunity to ask him further details." I remember a few years ago I asked my mother what she thinks is the best way to deal with a terminally ill person. She replied, "to not let the family of that person bend over backwards and do what is needed to maintain there families sanity while allowing the person to live comfortably." I suppose they both are good. I think my opinions on the topic of illness and dieting will remain some ware in-between what my parents think.
