Considering that it was estimated, by their own profession, that 1/3 of

practicing physicians did not know a fever is a bodily defense mechanism and was

beneficial to the body, why would I read that bouncing compilation of a number

of different instances regarding fevers? That article is Conventional

Medicine at its worst. Show me the physician that can look at someone with a

fever, and detect cancer, an Infection or any other reason for a raised

temperature and I'll give this doctor credit for being very special. However, a

well-trained diagnostician might find more than some 'naturally-oriented'

practitioner. Maybe.

In fact, many beginning " illnesses " start with the same symptoms and generally,

a physician guesses as to what they are dealing with knowing that in most cases,

most 'illness' is Self Limiting. Most people get over most colds, flu or

whatever whether or not they get treatments. Therein is the secret of a

Doctor's success...............people get well in spite of them not because of

them.

As for earlier comments about not letting a doctor touch someone and only

dealing naturally? Unless I have missed something, I find evidence the

graveyards are full of people that treated themselves naturally or worked with

some 'Natural-oriented practitioner'. " Natural " What a vague term.

Do I then think that we must abide by a doctor's recommendations in every

instance? Hardly, and in fact, their recommendations should mostly be ignored.

As for being combative rather than using tact? There is no benefit in that

approach because for anyone to think they don't need a physician from time to

time, even if just for testing, doesn't make sense. In fact by getting their

cooperation, one can get testing done that many doctors would not order.

Another example would be for people that use Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

Wouldn't it be better to have a physician prescribe it because we asked them to

rather than begging on the Internet for someone to give them the name of a

physician they could call and pay a ridiculous fee to prescribe it? I could go

on and on about the benefit to having a good relationship with a Medical

Practitioner.

I could enumerate stories about nurses that I educated about sensible practices

and I was introduced to a future medical student by my Urologist that said,

" Here .is a very special patient that takes particular interest in his own care

which I wish all of my patients did " . In fact when my wife was hospitalized

with a long-standing fever and a suspected Kidney stone eventually finding her

gallbladder was 'inflamed', my Urologist made it a point to check on everything

even though the attending physician ruled against a consult. I do not have to

exercise my ego by showing a doctor I think I know more than him, I'll let him

wake up to the fact I do know a lot but have no intention of smacking him in the

face with it. What's the point?

Let me add another example. When the doctor could not use Immunotherapy with

me he suggested using Chemotherapy. I asked him what he wanted to use and he

told me. I responded, I read a lot about that and read it wasn't that

effective. His response? " You're right " . That was the end of chemo talk.

Eventually we figured a way to use the Immunotherapy and we did. My Advice?

Don't be cocky because you may need this practitioner for something. You can't

get at your local health-food store. I have a general practitioner that I can

get anything I want because he knows I am 'up' on what I am seeking and he

respects my approach. When I told the GP how we handle fevers and colds he

agrees " it is the best way " . This makes it so easy. Of course some

physicians are so cocky and arrogant one cannot work with

them....................then find another.
