Todd: So, Lucinda, you have a very natural family, I mean they're really into nature and the environment.


Lucinda: Yeah, pretty much. I think they call us tree-huggers or whatever they call them now these days.


Todd: Oh, tree huggers! So, do you guys do anything special for like for being sick or anything like that?


Lucinda: Yeah, my autie is a naturalpath?


Todd: A naturalpath?


Lucinda: Yeah, I think that's a new word for, it used to be a homeopath.


Todd: Oh, I see, and what does naturalpath mean?


Lucinda: It basically means a person that is involved with natural medicine kind of like a doctor but with natural remedies instead of pharmacuetical medicine.


Todd: Right. OK, so let's assuming that I get a cold and I'm really sick. What would a natural-path give me?


Lucinda: Basically there is certain, well there is certain drugs that you would give a person that was, had a flu if you were a doctor and there would be a specific drug for that flu or they might just give you penecilin or something strong, with a natural-path they would give you a different range of remedies considering what exact symptoms you had, so they'd give you echinacea if you just had, if you were just feeling down.


Todd: I'm sorry. What's that called?


Lucinda: echinacea (echinacea) Yeah.


Todd: What is echinacea?


Lucinda: Ah, that is a, it's for your immune system. It gives you a boost, basically. If you're feeling kind of down or sick or you're just not very, have much energy.


Todd: Is it a plant?


Lucinda: It's, I think it's a type of a root.


Todd: Oh, I see


Lucinda: Yeah, it's a type of plant. They, it's crushed up and put into tablets, and you can actually, most people now take, not most people, but people that take echinacea now, they often, you can every day of your life.


Todd: Every day


Lucinda: Yeah. It's very popular in America.


Todd: And it makes you healthy?


Lucinda: Yeah, yeah, yeah.


Todd: So, you're very young, so and assuming that some day, when you have your family, and if you have child that's sick, would you ever use Western medicine, or would you strictly 1 use the natural-path way?


Lucinda: Well, actually, it depends on how sick the child is. I mean, whenever I was sick as a child, I'd go to the doctor, but it's not like I wouldn't give them Western medicine, but if they just had a small cold I would use natural medicines first but if it was anything serious I would give them, I would take them to the doctor definitely and use Western medicine.


Todd: Now your aunt who is a natural path, does she ever use Western medicine?


Lucinda: Oh, yes, yes. Every day people use this natural path medicine. I mean it's not for, you know natural medicine freaks or anything like that. It's everyday business people use their medicine. It's now very popular to be healthy and to eat, to have certain things in your diet that you should be eating and even such as health drink shakes, they sell them in stores such as Starbuck's now so that is actually a part of natural-path medicines, are those health food energy drinks that have protien powder and stuff.


Todd: OK, well sounds good.
