Personally I am glad to see the medicine stone and I greet it and grab it up.

Unless you have a medicine stone with more power, better shape, different content, it is pointless to complain about the medicine stone.

It is also pointless to call the medicine stone a pseudo medicine stone, a hokey medicine stone, a political medicine stone, or even a half-breed medicine stone. It is what it is.

If I cannot receive the healing and wisdom of the medicine stone I can call it names in anger and break it, thus preventing anybody ever possibly receiving benefit from it. If I cannot receive the healing is it the fault of the stone or the fault of myself?

As a Christian I cannot refuse healing from the medicine stone because it is "not Christian." After all, the medicine symbolized by the intertwined snakes is not Christian either. Actually the symbol of the rock is common in Christian theology, as is the snake. I choose the rock. The medicine stone.

Am I babbling?

Good bye.
SAY WHAT ? ? ?
