Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 It really is interesting to note just how doctors feel regarding various modalities of healing. The simple fact that a doctor would make the statement, as Ron from another forum noted; " He also told me if I found a miracle cure it would put a lot of doctors out of work. " . That simply isn't the case. Doctors know that good health starts with eating right. They could be doing as Dr. Cabot has been doing for the past number of years and educate their patients on eating right. Shoot, Dr. Cabot actually gives them diets to which to adhere and the end results have certainly gotten people down the road and living again. Perhaps even to the point where they aren't going to be needing any more of her services. Doctors also know that despite disease there is a greater need for them when health is compromised by an accident. If diseased people were all doctors see in their offices then we would really have an even more serious problem in health care. Hmmmmm, funny you should say that, " Health Care " , it almost becomes an oxymoron when a doctor makes such statements to a patient for whom he will not advance knowledge of other modalities to health than his own ideas, or even worst, critical of other modalities but without any ideas to give as a better method, and a reason why it's better. There are doctors, who like my own, will actually work with someone and help them do the things they feel will keep them healthy. My doctor didn't scold me for not getting an operation, as he'd requested, but instead gave me repect and helped provide me pain medication that I could use when I did have attacks. The benifiet of having a pain medication is that often times it too helps the bile ducts to relax and let the matter through not to mention allows a level of bearable pain. I went to the hospital four times in '99'. I didn't get a prescription until after the second attack, but I only ended up going to the hospital two more times when the medication couldn't quite get the pain down to bearable, and it should also be noted that the last, which was also the worst attack, occured when I was totally avoiding all fats. It was a major mistake on my part and likely caused the liver damage that was considered minor by my doctor. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Dear Dale, My chiropractic doctor, who I should tell you is my husband, says that the body heals itself, inspite of a doctor's interference, and so all doctors count on that fact, or they would be out of business. Your own body is its own best doctor. If given the right nutrients, rest, and hygiene, you really only need a doctor for crisis management, i.e. you break your leg, you stop breathing, etc. Of course, he sees maintaining the correct curvatures in your spine as necessary to optimum health as well. Why don't we, as a society in general, trust the innate knowledge of our bodies more? The power that made the body (in 9 months, without anyone " interfering " with the process) can heal the body.
