"Hello, Sir TP. Good morning. I'm sending this message to seek your advice. Apologies as this is rather long.

"Over the Holidays, my _____________ (medically ________ _________) made a turn for the worse, severely affecting my face (you wouldn't be able to recognize me, especially now) and my upper torso & extremities. It became so bothersome -and worrisome - that before new year's eve, I finally decided to visit a derma, who diagnosed me with ___________ ___________, prescribing me topical & oral meds which helped in a way. She was kind & understanding, and also referred me to another specialist for further assesment. Now, after seeing the specialist she referred, I decided to seek another opinion, this time from a _______________ doctor.

"So last week, while I was outside our bldg waiting for my ride going to the doctor, one of the guard's turned to my direction, approached me, and said: 'huwag po kayong magagalit pero allergy ba 'yan?' '___________ po.' ''Di kaya nakulam kayo?' He then goes on to say that he knows of a mangagamot. 'Gusto ko lang kayong tulungan.'

"I politely said 'di muna ngayon' and boarded my ride. However, perhaps out of foolishness & a bit of despiration, I gave him my number when I got back but remained non-committal.

"And then yesterday he sent me text stating that he spoke to albularyo, and that he would accompany me to him Tuesday next week. I replied saying I'm not yet ready. He said he understood but began sending subsequent emails saying that he really just wants to help me out of my dire situation, and that, or so he alleges, he had successfully brought people to said albularyo for treatment.

"I've since archived & ignored our message thread."

My reply:

Hello _____!

I'm sorry to hear of your current condition, which I always believed was psychological. I hope everything comes out right. You always remind me of Colin Morgan, who played young Merlin in the _Merlin_ series. And I have always thought of myself as Giles.

First, allow the doctor's medication to kick in and take effect over time, since you said that it's been having a positive effect on you.

There is no harm trying alternatives.

I sense that you shunned the security guard because you did not trust him. But, I see no harm in taking him up on his offer. You would lose nothing. It seems that he is very sure that he can help you. 

The Spirit Questors also have a person who is very good at diagnosis. Since I retired in 2015 I've been passing on all my alternative healing implements to him, most of them from Siquijor. Should you be interested in consulting him, just send me another Message and I can refer you to him. He's performed tuob on many patients and has successfully healed them.
