By Thao is Hmong and the mother of a young child who was often sick as a baby. She recounts with friend Elijah Carricaburu how her family urged her to stick to traditional, spiritual Eastern healing practices. But when Western medicine provided a physical cure, the family eventually accepted that there is room for both traditional and modern approaches to illness. Edit credit: Sean Collins
