If anyone feels that they cannot get good care from the traditional medical field... they should try a few of these.
No one is saying that you HAVE to have your illness or disease treated by a Medical doctor.. Only that it's kind of foolhardy not to.
Many people with severe, untreatable, or terminal conditions turn to these as last resorts. That doesn't mean Medical doctors are incompetant, or stupid... It simply means that there is a limit to what can be done medically. They simply cannot cure EVERYTHING.... and eventually... something is going to be fatal.. We all DIE.
Nurses are not permitted legally to advise their own patients to change doses of medication or change the medication, without consulting a doctor
I believe that your practice of doing this here could be reported to the medical board as a dangerous and illegal activity and in my book is akin to witchcraft!
Oh.. and Azz, did you actually threaten Pats? I would be very very careful with that garbage. I find your comment incredibly offensive. Just because a person is in the medical field does NOT mean that they cannot offer suggestions., or have personal opinions. I see she is always prefacing her statements.. with.. "I am not a doctor" of "Here is what I PERSONALLY would do" She is NOT dispensing advise or prescribing medication, as a professional..but as a consumer. Also... this is not a doctors office. THIS is a message board.. social site.. She is not seeing anyone as a patient.. nor is she taking payment. Therefore I would be very careful of your threats Azz.. If you don't apologize to her.. I will not post in this section again either.. If you want that. fine with me... I personally don't NEED to post here.. neither does Pats.. however I think both of us make valuable contributions. If you don't think so and you want just your little group of the uninformed in this section..and feel my input is not helpful... fine with me... as they say.. no skin off my nose.
Edited..... Apologies to AZZ.. Redireted to Gumbud.. And up yurs to Baxter.
