Enough already of your blatant self-advertising.

And in any case, it's very close to false advertising and/or malpractice to post "We Holistic Practioners have the cure..." ---- As I've said before, I tend to trust recommendations of holistic medicine when I get them from a mainstream doctor than from a a self-proclaimed deprecator of mainstream medicine.
