  I know a few who never got to Mexico before dying.

  There are some alternatives that help some conditions. Note SOME. And the placebo affect does work

  Evil Wind Chimes

  i remember going door to door in the late 60's with my mother as a 5 or 6 year old.

  one time she caught me looking at the wind chimes on a porch.

  she told me they had pagan origins, were evil, and were somehow connected to demons.

  The noise scares away demons. No mention of pretty noises attracting angels. Maybe we just like random melodies.

  what were some of yours?

  the big one in our hall was no frontal hugs!

  these were generally thought of as inappropriate, only side hugs should be given between sisters and brothers.

  disclaimer: this article has some broad generalizations that will have exceptions to what is stated.

  this is the only way i can even attempt to address the topic.

  i've looked for scholarly articles published on peer reviewed journals for years.

  I can agree with the elders not doing research on their own. No way to judge how good the solutions are. Avoiding professional help is more troubling.

  Remember: " mental problems are a manifestation of demonic influence"

  one of my favorite actors is robert de niro.

  some of his later movies were so so but overall i think he was outstanding.

  meryl streep, i just never thought she was anything exciting yet people say she’s the best actress of all time.
