Dear T, My heart goes out to you and your Mum and I hope it might help you to find some peace to know that it is common practice to get second and third opinions amongst the medical community. Vets also do this and are taught to tell patients to seek out second opinions when an owner of an animal feels unsure (or the vet is unsure)...at least in the reputable schools. This is a clear indication of the caliber of a doctor as to how they react to this. A good doc will always encourage a patient to seek out a second opinion, because the Hippocratic oath states that a patient's well-being be their uppermost concern (above their own ego), even if that means questioning a clear-cut physical diagnosis that may only enhance the well-being of the mental, or emotional state of a patient. Let's face it, we are more likely to put our trust in a doctor who is able to say, " I just don't know and I suggest you seek a second opinion " , or " I am so sure of your condition that I am willing to stick my neck on the line that a second opinion will only bring the same result " . Any doctor who is resentful of a second opinion has no credibility to his/her patients, basically. I hope you and your family find some peace with this, because your intuition was on the mark with seeking out further opinions and it's always the one thing you can trust. )) Blessings, n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 <<My mom has a difficult problem. We did a olive oil and lemon flush 1 week ago and green solid stones came out with many the size of golf balls. This was her second flush. She felt better after and more energy, but she has been Jaundiced for 3 months now and her bile still isn't flowing through. Any ideas?>> I suggest a castor oil pack applied 1 hour a day for 5 days, then 2 days off and applied again for another 5 days. Castor oil packs have helped gallbladder and liver problems and have in fact released gallstones. Put the pack over the abdomen, up over the lower rib. Instructions can be found at: http://www.baar.com/castoroilinstruct.htm<http://www.baar.com/castoroilinstruct.\ htm> Even though I've done several flushes, I continue to get a great deal of benefit from castor oil packs and the benefits go far beyond gallbladder and liver health.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Thank you n, I am deeply dissapointed in many doctors. They value their ego much more than the well being of their patients. I am still so worried about my mom's stomach. It is as like she has 2 babies inside now. Best wishes to all of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
