Is essentially summed up in these timeless words of truth: *'had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that [-]he had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse'

The aforementioned words - ascribed to the 'certain woman with an issue of blood' who was then and there healed by the Great Physician Himself (see Mark's gospel: 5: 25/26 etc) - could hardly be more relevant to my own life experience...

So much so in fact that I oftentimes find myself, however inadvertently, returning to the following statement, uttered by a (long-past) former leader of a major New Zealand political party about his erstwhile leader, whom he proposed shortly replacing (and indeed did, if by the barest of margins):
reworking it to fit into my own (alluded to) situation, let me simply say:

I've nothing constructive to say about [the orthodox/conventional 'health' fraternity].

But more in days/weeks to come (alongside a proper reworking of **blogposts 4-6) when I finally ***get around to it.

*Mark 5:26 (King James Bible); the New King James Bible puts/renders it thusly:

had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.

**The three (July 22nd, 24th and 25th) which all deal with a 'missing mineral in my diet', dis/uncovered by me, myself and I - no thanks to ye orthodox medical establishment, that's for sure!

***Far as I know, my oldest sister's the only one I've ever known who's ever been given 'a round tu-it' (as in a t-shirt emblazoned with and declaring such, in her later youth).
