DO ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES WORK?
Storyboard Text
- At the age of 8 I woke up one morning feeling awful. I got blisters around my lips and eyes and I felt very weak.
- ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES: DO THEY REALLY WORK?
- I'm not feeling well, mom!
- What's the matter, son?
- My mum took me to the doctor. And the diagnose was clear: I had a severe herpes infection!!!
- Herpes? And what can I do?
- He needs to rest. And use this cream.
- As days went by, symptoms got worse and my mum was becoming desperate. No medicine was helping!
- I have a fever! My eyes are itchy!
- We've seen three doctors and nothing is working.
- The next morning my mum ran into an old friend. She proposed a curious alternative.
- I know an old lady who can help your son. She has a special gift
- It sounds a little bit odd. But there's nothing to lose.
- The old lady stood next to me and said some prayers after outlining the affected area with ink. A couple of sessions later, I started to feel better.
- It worked! He's feeling better. How much do I owe you?
- A free-will donation is more than enough.
- It's been 30 years and I still remember it as clearly as if it were yesterday.
- I believe in modern medicine and I trust in doctors but...
- Did that woman really have a gift? Was it a coincidence? Who knows?
