Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Arnold, Thanks for the compliment. My story may not be all that unique anymore. But, what does surprise me is that even doctors do not always try to "connect the dots" when it comes to treating the problem. And, I believe we patients deserve some of the blame. The doctor say, "How are you doing? Are your seizures under control? Is the medicince working for you?" Well, if you are not having any seizures your answer is problably going to be yes. But, the problem is that there may be other things going on which are not good, but have nothing to do with seizures. Nevertheless, since the doctor didn't ask all the right questions, you are not going to respond with all the right answers. Consequently, you end up adversely affecting the quality of your own life. The doctor who is supposed to be helping you is actually assisting you in wasting away your own life. Here are some questions I think doctors should ask their patients in addition to questions about seizures: Do you you feel less alert? Do you have a hard time remembering information? Do you have difficulty taking notes? Is your reaction time slowing down? Perhaps the events in my life would have turned out very different had I brought those matters to the attention of my doctors. Neither my doctors, my parents nor myself were concerned with my overall quality of life. Whenever I was at the doctor we simply focused on bringing gran mal seizures under control. Big mistake! I think everyone who has access to the Internet should use the resources available to them to gather as much information about their particular health situation as they possibly can. Take a look at the "big picture." Do what I did. Go to websites like www.andrewsreiter.org and ask questions of the doctor via e-mail. What have you got to lose? There are also other websites listed in the Bookmarks section of this group which could not doubt prove helpful. Make use of all these resouces. What's at stake here is nothing less than the quality of your life. Don't let anyone - not even a doctor - waste away your life.

It really goes to a core proncipal of finding out what else this "epilepsy-symptom" is a manifestation of. The interconnections of the entire body is something that needs more focus. Thanks for relating the story, it just adds more comfrmation to what we are trying to do on this list. I only hope that more of you out there will eventualy realize the benefits that are somewhere out there waiting to be found and applied. arnold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I think the passer by person was a fool or negative thinker. the idea is to be positive should we identify negative so that we must be beware of them. sudhir inspiring story There was an elderly person planting some acrons.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 This is the first time I have heard of someone going through this! I was diagnosed in Dec of 2004 with papillary thyroid cancer. I have done natural alternative and asked a few times if the biopsy was a sure thing. Well, apparantly it is not 100 percent. I am kind of at a loss for words. How did they make such a huge mistake? Was there any kind of explanation given to you? I have not had surgery. Thanks, Kym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I can tell you what happened for me. The first slides of the fluid taken from my nodual were reviewed by 3 doctors and called it " suspicious for.... " then it was sent to the Mayo clinic where it was confirmed " positive for papillary carcinoma. " . My take on it is that it could have been all along and that what I did changed it. As I mentioned the orginal size was 1.6 and " actual " size at surgery was barely 1cm. I know ultrasounds can be off but I'll go with my juicing that shrunk it~! I am still waiting for a 3rd set of eyes to review the original slides to see if they too, would have confirmed the cancer. No matter what, I went against all odds with not having a TT and surgeons made me feel like I was SOO wrong for doing that. Well here I am with still a functioning thyroid and NO CANCER. Thank God. If you ask me what I did, the answer is " what didn't I do " . Everything I could. Including prayer, Reiki, dry skin brushing, juicing, flax oil, etc... Good luck, I believe I waited and postponed the surgery because I knew there was something I could do. I believe this 100%.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Malissa, I commend you for your persistence for the right option and thank God for the outcome of your surgery - NO CANCER!! I had a papillary thyroid cancer diagnosis in Sept 2003. I chose to seek alternative options before surgery. I have not had surgery and no chemo, no radiation, no radioactive iodine treatments.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Please tell us what you did do. What is skin brushing? We all have the need to know. So please tell us all what you did. Thank you for your fantastic story. I love a happy ending. Sue Anne and e malissa_ramirez writes: I can tell you what happened for me.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi Addie: I'm new to the group and have been watching the posts. Can you tell me what you did? My large thryoid nodule (I have two, one large and one small) biopsy is showing follicular changes and is very vascular. I have modified my diet now for the last 3 months and my hubby and I believe my nodule is going down but I haven't had a scan to verify that yet.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 That was a very inspirational story, . I know people have strong attachments to their pets, but this was highly unusual. There are pets that go to nursing homes and hospitals to bring cheer to the patients. They are chosen for their suitability, they can't be too frisky and have to like to be petted. I saw a program on TV where they showed how they picked the rights dogs to be trained. We had our share of pets at home with 5 boys and when they got hurt or killed, I cried more than the children. We had a Wiemariner who was so awkward, she chewed up her dog house. My son took her to the vet's to get her shots and she jumped over his head from the back of his little VW and beat him home. All he could say was, " Mother, never again. Just don't ask me to do that ever. " Every Sunday evening, he sits with me and tells me yet another story about his childhood that I either forgot or they kept it a secret. LOL Best wishes, , Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
