I do a lot of spiritual work myself, but my resistance to the foxes was not based on it, but aided by it. I had already developed quite a negative impression of modern medicine both in Japan and in America.
My husband has struggled with diabetes for decades. Under the "care" of Japan's medical system, he was clearly going downhill. I had heard about low-carbohydrate dieting and had good experiences with it, plus a bad experience on the calorie-restricted diet they were trying to get my husband to stick to. At one point, they had him scheduled for renal dialysis, and I had a look at his bloodwork, and his kidneys were fine.
My husband did not go in for the dialysis, but began a fasting and dietary routine that got him out of immediate danger. We later learned that hospitals try to push their patients into dialysis, because they get big subsidies for it.
All along I had been trying to convey information I was learning about alternative modalities from sources overseas, but if he couldn't read about it in Japanese for himself, he wasn't going to understand enough to be able to try it out. To make a long story short, we visited Dr. Mercola's clinic when he still had one and later found a decent doctor in Japan (who has been hounded out since) who could teach my husband to take insulin.
Regarding US doctors, my mother's doctor had her on a drug that was notorious for harming kidneys, though she already had kidney issues. She (the doctor) said, "You're kidneys are not that bad." Well, they are now.
I had no trust in experts' assurances of "safe and effective." And don't get me started on cellphones!
