Re: Re: Sad or funny? Doctors Gods

[Guest guest]

Not only are Doctors considered as 'Gods', dairy products have been drummed

into the heads of children and adults for the too many years I have been around.

What is being missed in this discussion about what people 'should' do because

they " should take responsibility " , is that they are taking responsibility by

going to the 'experts' (should be spelled exspurts). They often go to those

considered the 'best', the Board Certified specialist and we think they should

go to some unknown.

Our problem in bringing our thoughts to people is not that the people are not

taking responsibility, but that what we are trying to sell is the unknown. The

fringe. The Quackery, according to some. People are not exposed to anyone

that is being helped alternatively but they are quick to be told about Loretta

King who died when she visited a Mexican clinic regardless of whether or not she

was close to death when arriving there. Then there was Farrah Fawcett who it

was claimed tried " alternative " care but people were not told it was not what we

would consider alternative.

When people ask me for " advice " about what a friend or relative should do, I

suggest they have the person themselves need to be the ones asking and seeking.

For those of us that think we are 'the way', understand we are the fringe, the

unknown and as stated earlier, Quacks to many. Why? Because the media is

controlled by advertising and we don't have the advertising dollars and the laws

would prohibit it other than the most bland statements. In the past people

that posted to this list were chastised for not being more aggressive

alternatively or for seeking any form of conventional care. We can be too

elitist just like religionists that believe 'they have the truth' and you don't.

The ice-cream advice given to cancer patients is common and I watched my

neighbor eagerly drinking his thick-shakes because his swallowing was so painful

due to radiation. It's milk, it's what they've been telling us is good food

most of anyone's life. said it best a few posts back and I don't think

Oncologists do it always knowing what they are doing. I believe most of them

don't have a clue about food or nutrition. I would not have responded in the

first place except I know that some people will chastise some poor soul that

might say what we think is terrible and instead of chastising, we should make

positive suggestions that we might not come off elitist and turn someone off.

I have a sister in law who says I have seen people try alternative, and they die

shortly after. I told her that they mostly have been doing conventional and

then when they are about to die they try alternatives after it is too late. One

of the companys I buy vitamins from has been arrested by the ftc for putting out

alternative cancer information and they are fighting but they are in trouble.

Ron is trying to bring some bills that will stop that. People should write

and call their congress people and tell them to help with the bills.
