Guest guest Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 So, to be clear. You are saying/suggesting that commercially processed meats (beef/chicken/etc.) - because of the antibiotics used in raising the animals - affects our gut/digestion/good & bad bacteria/etc. the same as taking antibiotics (out of a bottle) today? If that's the case . . . . what a huge problem has been created!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 You are very fortunate to have your medical doctor. Sounds like there openness to the alternative natural stuff is here. I would love to work with a doctor that takes insurance. I work with several chiropractors that do.

My doctor did not create my Candida. I have to assume responsibility for my choices: a. binging on chocolate candy, cheese, ice cream; b. not handling stress very well, etc. My doctor (who incidentally graduated from Hopkins University) truly understands the body as a system. First doctor I've encountered who speaks of energy healing, applied kinesiology, holistic approach. She diagnosed my candida, but did not create it. She actually spent time with me doing visualization exercises, meditation sessions. You might want to check her out: Millennium Health Care Center, town Square, Chamblee, Georgia. She has done lots to correct the toxins created by silicone breast implants. Many of her patients come to her to actually engage in the whole detoxification process to correct the atrocities of this process... And, yes....she accepts insurance.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi, Barb -- In this group we have long been pretty candid about our experiences and have named doctors by name. I don't think you need to worry if you are simply posting the facts about your experiences with given doctors. This is the kind of information that is so helpful to others who need guidance as to where they will get knowledgeable, respectful treatment and where they will NOT. Best, > > Hi . I have a question. I would like to post info on my docs and most of it is pretty negative. In today's litigeous society, could these docs have grounds to sue for slander? I would like to post names and locations, but just wondered if this is allowed or if the docs could come after me for saying bad things about them. Is there a certain way to word comments that is better than others. Thanks, Barb > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Ray,Your very best bet for Hep C and treatment is a Liver Specialist or Hepatologist. Your second choice would be a gastro. Definitely NOT a GP.. they don't know enough.. actually, many gastro's are not well schooled enough on Hep C. That's why I went from a gastro straight to Hepatologist.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hell, I am sorry I have been off line but have been most unwell and my husband quite ill. Then I lost connection with the group yet again and suddenly it reappears again. Anyway, although I didn't see the programme about lack of care by doctors I do think we need to be very careful to not generalise. The vast majority of our medical people do amazing work and save thousands of lives. Did anyone watch the transplanr programme the other night? Absolutely amazing work which saved three dying patients. There is, as in any walk of life, those at the bottom of the pile who are the pits and I speak from experience after losing my beloved daughter through medical negligence. But, on the other hand my life was saved after I was airlifted into hospital and emergency surgery carried out on my heart. My age did not come into question(I was in my 70's). My husband too has had and is till having intensive treatment for heart failure. He is now 83 but has the best any medical person can offer him. Sometimes, I fear that we are in danger of throwing the baby out.............. I do understand how difficult it is to have any compassion when we suffer so much and our GPs do not seem to have the answers or, who get it wrong. One of my doctors pointed out that they are, in fact, only general practitioners and, in fact practising medicine and that the general public expect them to know all of the answers, which, of course, is near nigh impossible isn't it. After my daughter's death I almost lost my mind and was so very angry, as you will imagine, but I did not want that seed of anger to grow into bitterness and it was an awful journey for me. But now I try to see the other side, and yes, there are those doctors who are the pits and we have all had some stick from them, but there are the others who are doing a job that heals thousands and to whom I am in awe and so very grateful. Best wishes to everyone. Audrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hi Audrey, Sorry to hear you've been unwell again....... this is no fun..... Good that you got the forum back though I have no idea why, other than they were doing some maintenance on it earlier on in the week.... To be fair, we do moan a lot about our doctors on here, but that's because by the time we get on to this forum, many of us have lost our faith in them and no longer trust them to look after us. If the doctor made the correct diagnosis and gave the correct meds, then there would never be any need for these forums. x > > Hell, I am sorry I have been off line but have been most unwell and my > husband quite ill.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hello Audrey, welcome back - I did wonder where you had disappeared to but know you were having problems with your ISP. Will write to you later and catch up with what has been happening, but I have Dr Peatfield with me this week doing his Yorkshire clinic at my cottage, and he takes over my little office as his consulting room so cannot get to my computer. Anyway, you have been missed and good to have you back, but I really shouldn't be saying that on a forum designed to help those still suffering should I? I would have hoped you were not around simply because you had got better and had no need of this forum anymore. Luv - Sheila Hell, I am sorry I have been off line but have been most unwell and my husband quite ill. Then I lost connection with the group yet again and suddenly it reappears again. __ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
