Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Me either. Until several posts on this group. My son had some problems that may have been related to his thyroid, according to some of the stuff I've read. He would pass out if he waited too long between meals (like more than 6 hours), he could not gain weight, he ate voraciously, he had migraines & mood swings. Was his thyroid ever brought up as a possible problem by his doctors? No. Did we ask what might cause these problems? Yes. We were told...nothing. They tested him for diabetes, did an EEG, said he was fine and should try to eat 6 times a day because he had a high metabolism. Quacks.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Wow, I wish my doctor would have done that. I got a sack of Lipitor samples. I will never see that doctor again. did you have to insist upon that natural approach? Jim Not only have I had decades of being treated for a MI that they now accept I don't have- therefor I've decades of not receiving proper treatment for endochrine problems which they simply ignored. Catching up with me now .........very high blood pressure, chlorestrol, & Triglycerides & just to say I was at the cardiologist/lipid clinic two days ago. They wrote me up for Omacor eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Benecol drinks and if needs be Vit B3 (nicitinic acid) who's keeping away from the Statins, Beta Blockers & ACE Inhibitors > > > > > > > > > Thank you for this information.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 That's FANTASTIC!! Aside from the spooky part. An actual real doctor right there in the hospital. I think it shows that more and more are starting to wake up. I had to look up your treatments but when I realized what they were I knew you had got hold of someone that actually knows their stuff. I'm very happy for you I had an experience with a dentist years back when I refused any more metal in my mouth (mercury amalgamate) he would not see me anymore and also refused my sister! I wanted a new non-mercury cement, the guy went nuts! Jim Jim it was a really odd experience. I've been having real blood pressure issues ...like 190/120 & was sent off by my GP to the very hospital in Belfast where my journey began 30 + years ago. Same building, same ward........ the clinic was right there where I was given the radio active iodine. Spooky The first doctor, nice man from India, I thought he'd be ok for alternative treatment ..........but I got him wrong and he was writing me ace inhibitors etc etc. I refused actually I psahionately refused & I opened up to him about my friend on W & R Group. He then left the room & brought in Prof. .......he could see I was giving a reasoned refusal ........and to my surprise revealed that all of his research papers were on nuitrients vits minerals etc etc. So Prof moved me unto his personal list & wrote me up the protocol. I mentioned to crusaders list that my endochronologist is testing alpha lipoic acid for the relief of neuropathic pain in diabetees. (wonereing if it helps in carpal tunnel ....will look into it) J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
