Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Without trivializing Becky's horrible experience - I must say I hear such stories often. The thing that patients forget (although most physicians do not) is that medicine as practiced by most doctors is nothing more than a business. On the legal side i would reccomend finding a lawyer that specializes in personal injury law - few ordinary lawyers know anything about how to bring a personal injury lawsuit - it is actually beyond their area of experience. An expert in this field also will have a much better understanding of your chances in this matter - few personal injury attorneys are afriad of fighting 'the big boys'. As regards the many medical issues that Becky has brought up - first it looks like she is suffering some form of depression disease. This should be addressed first since it will make it easier for you to deal with all of the other physical issues you are dealing with. As regards your juicing experiments I have to advise caution - since you are already suffering defeciencies it would be prudent not to create any more dampness and or cold. Take your saliva PH to see if you are really acidic (anything below 6.5) - if you are trully acidic then flooding the body with alkaline substances can be helpful but care should be taken to not make the Stomach/Spleen cold or damp. This can often be achieved by drinking the juice at body temperature and adding ginger during juicing - add a small piece as you are juicing. To much alkaline will of course cause problems because it creates an over Yin condition - which will create even more cold and dampness. A good formula for 'middle of the road' dieting is - 50% fruits and vegetables, 25% grains, and 25% protein. If vegetarian take protein foods that are easy to digest. Sick people should not eat many raw foods - and never!!! take cold food. Sugar should be avoided like the plague. Mild simple food easy to digest is the clue to stabalizing oneself. Avoid all extremes!!! It is excess qualities in food that has caused many of our problems so just avoiding excess qualaties will help more than anything - especially since most people do not understand the science of dietary therapy (which is complicated and takes a lot of study. But avoiding all extreme qualaties in food helps tremendously with this problem since a diet that has no excess cold, piquancy, acidic, alkaline, sweet, etc. will slowly but surely bring blood chemistry and organ function into balance. It is the best medicine available - especially for those who do not have access to an experinced health care provider. All the best Becky and all others who are facing deep cycles of suffering.
