Conventional Medicine/Doctors And Chronic Illness

Some of the stuff i was saying got cut off :(

At 7:10 it is supposed to say they are put on a medication to attempt to treat the problem, but this does nothing for the root cause.

At 10:25 it was supposed to say that people have turned to natural medicine and nutrition AND it has actually helped them.

Also, please know that this video is not meant to bash doctors and pharmaceutical medication, but to address the LACK of recognition nutrition has in the world of illness and disease. I 100% believe that medical doctors are needed and that certain pharmaceutical drugs are needed, but i DO feel that medication is often prescribed too quickly, when the problem could be solved simply by changing the diet or adding a vitamin/supplement to the diet of the patient. I also believe, especially in the case of chronic illnesses, that supplements and diet can play a HUGE role in the improvement of symptoms and overall health, often more so than conventional medication.

Stop eating all sweeteners and refined grains, including Cheerios. Don't ever drink tap water again!!! I saw you doing both in another video. Your problems are not in your head they are in your diet. Mercury from vaccibes and fillings and irradiation from x-rays are also causes of disease. Stay away from your doctors, throw away any medicaitons, they have absolutely no clinical relevance Eat a high saturated fat diet.

You are so right! I went through some of what you endured, and was also told that it must be in my head, and I got put of pyschotic meds that just whacked me out even more. But, then, I got lucky, and went to this old, wizened doctor, who had been in practice for over 50 years. After just a short physical exam, he told me what was wrong, prescribed a drug, and I was cured within 10 days.

It's just terrible. I think at every single appointment with someone new I got the same 'anxiety'.. 'it's like which came first.. the chicken or the egg'.. etc etc. For me it was the opposite, I started with a natropath and went on a spcialised elimination diet (they diagnosed me with Candida.. but I knew instinctively that it was not that).. it didn't do anything. neither did Accupuncture.

i know..i hate the word anxiety! so sick of it!

i'm glad you bring this stuff about contention medicine up: I call it "mainstream" medicine. I was lucky, my mom got sick of doctors and mainstream medicine early, so I started with alternative forms of medicine early and have tried everything short of a shaman. Doctors are amazing with emergency situations, but really cannot solve chronic conditions! You seem like a lovely intelligent young lady, keep studying holisitc medicine and stay observant of these things, you will find answers!

I agree with you 100% It took my specialist 6 months before he asked me about my diet and excerise. They put me on medication to increase my salt intake with increase my water intake but I just don't feel like drinking or eating I just don't feel it at all. Hope you are going good!

Let's keep up the GoPetition . com for Increased Awareness of Dysautonomia....Leah put it up a while ago.

I'm hoping that we can 'rev it up' for 2011.... the delay in diagnosis is something that should no longer happen. LoLv to you and wishing you well this Holiday. It seems I have to sleep every day for 3 hours, but I have also been getting dressed and getting out of the house, too :=). Mostly loving my time with my little one....she keeps me going, even on a cloudy day! LoLv.
