Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Thanks, Denise, in fact, the only advice given by medical staff was to not let him drink more than a few ounces of the orange soda per shift to begin with--they didn't think he could handle too much all at once. Good grief.... we3deeves wrote: as this boy begins to be taken off a variety of tubes, etc. his mom has been allowed to start giving him things to drink that he has been requesting.

I think these people are truly oblivious. I still agree with your " follow the money " though. HRD (happy raw day) Lane I agree, Lanie. They're not all 'bad, greedy people'...I actually have had conventional doctors who are trying to 're-educate' themselves and their patients (but I know most are 'stuck' with what conventional medical schools have drilled into them...and what conventional society 'accepts' as truth)! My old OB?GYN wouldn't go so 'radical' as saying people should be 100% raw, but he did say that it was his opinion that we should eat a vegetarian diet w/LOTS of raw...I was impressed ~Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
