I started on antiviral medications which<br />reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus<br />became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from<br />ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their<br />treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after<br />the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing<br />treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.MATINAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14259195034273919921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119548544666358256.post-55217173880423428662010-12-20T10:06:06.808-05:002010-12-20T10:06:06.808-05:00Very interesting post.

There are loved ones I would feel most comfortable speaking to about something difficult, where the power of body language, expression, and tone would be beneficial. On the other hand, there are others I would rather write to, as the other person might distract me from my train of thought, or my purpose in communicating.<br />I had a difficult exchange with a friend once, that started as a conversation, then I wrote a letter, then she wrote back, and then was finally resolved in person. It was a good combination!Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592532417364025009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119548544666358256.post-67453329879473278222010-12-18T09:56:43.448-05:002010-12-18T09:56:43.448-05:00I think one writes the letter because they want to...I think one writes the letter because they want to put down all their thoughts (that can be good or bad).. maybe without interruption if that's the word I want (i.e. a 2-way conversation). Sometimes we write it and re-think and never mail. But I think talking is the best way, discussing one's feelings and thoughts..if it can be with someone who listens and isn't just considering their rebuttal while you speak. When we think/feel we are being attacked for something, our skins become very thin..it's human nature..people assume without truth. It depends so much on the other person in the equation...it could all be cleared up with frank discussion OR some issues can never be resolved. I think I would prefer to know what someone thinks of me (or the issue) than to be friendly with someone who has a misconception about me...does that make sense? If something particular is not discussed, how can we ever resolve it or if someone has the wrong idea about our actions, they'll never know the truth if it's not discussed. You see I could explain this much better verbally!Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00187124060268319664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119548544666358256.post-53288046076512706052010-12-18T09:15:50.013-05:002010-12-18T09:15:50.013-05:00I hear you Julie.

I wonder, more generally if sometimes the sender lacks the ability to put it together in conversation - or they don't feel stong enough to "battle" it out verbally. For whatever emotions get in the way - is it best to let somethings just go unsaid? What if there never is enough cooling time. <br /><br />I like to think I would want a chance to talk it out...but sometimes some conversations are just too charged. A letter is so one sided... and then there are all those words you can never take back. Do we just never write those letters or do we just try to keep the audience more in mind? Who are we writing them for I guess answers that question. And do those "therapy letters" ever really need to be mailed? <br /><br />I worry if sometimes the mental outbox isn't like some kind of email program... (sorry for the analogy) but you know what I mean when that one big email is jambing up the other things from getting out? I guess ultimately one has to ask what's at cost. I would never want to damage a relationship with a one-sided letter I think... and ultimately think sometime you should just talk it out to save the blow - especially if you have potential for having misconceived notions. If the relationship is beyone repair anyway... is there much to be gained? So each hard-to-write author must decide for herself.valeannieohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691857166758722112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119548544666358256.post-90995189017787569392010-12-18T08:50:52.910-05:002010-12-18T08:50:52.910-05:00When it comes to close friends, even the tough stu...When it comes to close friends, even the tough stuff needs to be said in person - those friends deserve and warrant the face to face time. Perhaps with a letter they've written in hand so that they've had the time to process/organize/clarify some of their own thoughts? I think following up with a phone call over a letter was a good idea. Glad you had a heads up...<br />just my 2 cents, of course.Christina https://www.blogger.com/profile/06644955398030041843noreply@blogger.com
