Disease, Life-Threatening, Alternative Therapies Rejected on One Strike & they're out

[Guest guest]

So with this line of reasoning-one alternative therapy didn't work when her epileptic sister died who got tx with alternative treatment, now that she has cancer of the thyroid after being told that she would get it by the M.D.'s that have been prescribing

the synthoid while being paid for doctors' visits for 20-30 years, this would mean since conventional medicine hasn't worked that she won't go to any more conventional doctors, right?

 

You have listed 5 symptoms for which she is being prescribed medications.

You do not mention if she is taking 1 or more drugs for each symptom.

Just for curiosity sake, if you got the package insert for each of these drugs for the PRD and reviewed the side effects, wonder hwo many of the drugs have the side effect of the reason for taking another of the drugs?

She looks like the picture of health that good BC/BS and the Medicare/BC/BS created in my Mother before she finally ended the way that great medical care made her feel with suicide. Heart disease, bad digestions, pollyps, thyroid obviouslly not healed after 20-30 years? I just don't get it. If she' been buying a car and paying for it all these years and it kept breaking down like the medical care/life style is breaking her body down, she'd be madder than __________ at the manufacturer and demanding a car that didn't need so much expensive maintenance to continue getting her around. But when the body shops she's been going to to keep the body fixed that she can't replace unless it's through reincarnation fails to provide a good service, she afraid ot even ask them what they did to it in their body shop?

It's no wonder America's health care system is so expensive and the people so sick with poor quality lives-

they are poor consumers and are willing to tolerate the financial and physical abuse.

I kept telling my Mother if she didn't do something different from my Grandmother, two aunts, cousin and uncle that all died fo cancer that she would suffer the same fate. She absolutely refused to change her lifestyle and would get aggitated at me when I brought home organic food and spent the weekend cooking for her so she'd have health food to eat in my absence. After the funeral I found the front of the honey, raisons, & oatmeal covering up all the junk food she was hiding behind it. Likewise in the freezer it was the green beans covering up every kind of sugar cake mix that I never saw her eat when i was home. Part of it was her belief system and diffucult in changing a lifetime of poor health habits but if the M.D.'s had told her to eat healthy then she would have done it because the "doctor" (the white coated priest dispensing the health care belief system) told her to do it.

It was very, very frustrating after years of trying to get her to improve her diet predicting that she'd develop diabetes compaining that I'd be the one that would have to take care of her if she didn't. In the end, nothing I did really influenced her to change her mind and she was devoted to believing in the doctors that medicated her into the grave. That is why I strongly suggest that you examine how much human energy you will invest worrying about your friend. She already has demonstrated that she prefers to continue believing in a health care system that obviously hasn't kept her healthy and she may even enjoy the attention that a sick body brings in discussion and sympathy. The more attention you give her diseases and your frustration with her refusal to see any other way, the less time you have to concentrate on your own health care and surrounding yourself with people that will support you in that.

I think also that there is something to older women who have no man in their lives liking to go to the doctor where a handsome young usually male doctor will put their hands on them and be concerned for a few moments of insurance funded time show an interest in them in an otherwise uneventful life. This is why I think it's very, very important to have interests to keep our minds busy and have a reason to want to be healthy and life as long as possible being politically active. That is the best revenge-outlive your adversaries. M.D.'s don't have a particularly good life expectancy.

 

 

Yes to both.

 

I remember what might be her reason. Her sister died of epilepsy. Their grandmother insisted that she be treated by what they call a root dr. w/o conventional treatment. I think that soured her to the idea of alt meds.

 

She takes several other meds for cholesterol, high blood pressure, pollyps, heartburn, the syntheroid, etc. However, she has been good at turning down antidepressants and HRT. Yay!
