Doctors & Medicine in General

December 12, 2007

I wanted to post some observations of doctors & medicine, based solely

on experiences and conversations I had today:

1. My friend with the implants went for an ultrasound on her ovarian

cyst today and was HOPING they'd find something wrong- even if it were

cancer- so that she could finally have an explanation for all of her

unexplained, undiagnosed health problems. She's sick of going in for

tests and everything coming back " normal " - so sick of it that she says

she's hoping for any kind of diagnosis with this ovarian cyst in the

hopes that curing it will cure her other symptoms. SAD.

2. I have another friend, without implants, who went in for an

ultrasound on her breast today. She is assuming they will shuffle her

through to an unnecessary invasive surgical procedure (biopsy) to tell

her that it's nothing. She assumes this since she's already been

though this before a couple of times with her breasts. She has come to

expect and accept unnecessary surgery to find out nothing is wrong.

(when she was feeling fine in the first place- just went in for

routine mammogram)

3. I went to an ear, nose, throat doctor today to find the root cause

and cure for the ear pain that I've had for SEVENTEEN YEARS. It's

gotten worse lately in that it feels like a spider is crawling in it.

I can't sleep on this ear because the pain is unbearable. I can't ride

a bike because the pressure makes it feel like my head is going to

explode. With symptoms like these, and 17 years of history to the

pain, I'd assumed the doctor would be able to diagnose me at first

sight, from all the way across the room! Nope. Guess what? All tests

came out normal. He even said my hearing is normal (which my husband

will vehemently disagree with!!!). I asked if it's normal to not be

able to sleep on one of your ears, and that the entire outer part of

the ear is too painful to touch when this happens. He said it is not

normal, but he can't find anything wrong. On a long shot, he

prescribed Allegra (allergy medicine) even though he said my symptoms

don't align with ear pain caused by allergies. He said he would have

given me a brain MRI, but I just had one a couple of years ago for

facial paralysis, and I told him they saw nothing wrong. He said there

was no use in doing that again, then.

I was stunned when I walked out of there. 17 years of pain and a

doctor can't find anything wrong? What CAN doctors diagnose or cure?

And this is why I can't stand them. I mean, how long did they go to

school? They paid for it didn't they? My naturopath saw people who

said they had been diagnosed with cancer. She tested them, but using

a muscle response monitor. When they didn't test for herbs generally

used for cancer patients she would tell them " I recommend you getting

a second opinion because I don't think you have cancer. " And guess

what?......She was right. Then she had people who did have cancer

come in she would work with them for months with the muscle response

monitor. They would test for differnet herbs and she would put

different programs together for them. Eventually they would stop

testing for herbs used for cancer treatment and she would tell

them. " I think you need to go to the Dr and get some tests. " And

guess what?????......Yep no cancer.

So that goes to show they don't always know what the hell is going

on. They're worse can a car mechanic. You come in with a flat tire,

you leave, get a mile down the raod and your whole damn transmission

falls out. They are crooks I tell ya. And I'll bet you anything not a

one of them takes the stupid medications that they perscribe. I bet

they do all their groc shopping at the health food store and they all

have their own Naturopathic Dr " on call " .

Makes me so mad. I'm going through the same thing with my gyno.

Seventeen years is a looooooooooong time to deal with an ear problem.

Up until I was 20 I was still getting ear infections. There is

nothing worse.

I hope some way some how you can get it figured out. So it just hurts

on the outside you said and it just feels like there is something

crawling inside or does it actually hurt inside too?

My left ear most commonly hurts on the inside (it's doing it right

now). Also, it sometimes hurts on the outside (also doing that right

now). They don't always happen at the same time like this. If I press

my ear against my head, the whole outside part of it hurts. Even if I

don't press on it, it hurts, but it hurts worse if I press on it. When

it's like this, I can't sleep on it- it's just impossible pain.

But the thing that finally made me go to this guy to get it figured

out once and for all is my latest problem with it, which just started

a month ago. When the ear isn't hurting, and I lie down on it, it

feels like a spider is crawling in it. It moves around, then it

settles for a few seconds, then it does it again. I didn't seriously

think it was a spider, even though it feels just like one, until my

coworker told me today that it's really happened to people. I looked

it up on the Internet, and sure enough, there are news stories about

people having spiderwebs & spiders in their ears because apparently

the ear provides the ideal temperature for a spider!

So I immediately called and set the appointment. He found no spider,

but he also found no problem. I know there's a problem. My left ear is

about to explode right now. I think it's because I just did a ton of

turns in ballet tonight. I told the guy that bike riding is unbearable

and turning is excruciating if I do too many. He just shrugged like

he'd never heard of that before.

I can't decide if I'm going to try the allergy medicine that he

prescribed or not. (Allegra)

Hmmmm...don't mean to scare you but I have heard of numerous insects

crawling in people's ears. And I guess it's the same feeling.

Crawling sensations and severe pain. I heard one story of a roach

that crawled into someones ear and laid eggs. That might be total

bollocks as my boyfriend would say, but it seems like not to long ago

I saw a similar story actually ON TV. But it seems like if a bug had

been in your ear for 17 years it would be dead by now right?

Ok so the only thing I could suggest, you know because I'm not a dr

would be 1, my naturopath suggested one time that for my ear

infectons I put garlic oil directly in my ear and let it set for a

few seconds before raising up. Put a small piece of cotton in amd do

the other ear. Garlic oil gets rid of infection. You can buy the

capsules and then go to pharmacy and get a syringe. You can puncture

the capsule and suck the oil out and it makes it easier to drop

directly into ear. Of course you will need someone to do that part

for you otherwise it could end up ugly. Trust me, it got rid of

several ear infectons for me without having to take antibiotics.

Don;t know if that could help but i imagine even if you have

inflammation it may help with that too. 2, have you ever heard of ear

candling? Some people freak out but it's actually a very relaxing

process. A long tube made of wax with a paper plate at the end (close

to your head) is inserted just inside the ear. The tube is then lit

with a match or lighter on the other end. When lit the tube creates a

suction that gets out wax and all kinds of other debri. As the tube

burns it falls off on the paper plate so not to burn your face and

then is extinguished with a wet paper towel when it burns low. When

you cut open the tube you will be amazed at what comes out. and the

only other suggestion I can think of right now, is aromatherapy.

I worked with alot of essential oils in my years as a massge

therapist. My natropath turned me on to it actually with the raindrop

therapy. And since I have used Young Living essential oils. Here is

the site.

https://www.youngliving.org/Supplements

You can go to product line and then essential oils and it will list

the singles and the blends. I do know that the blends Purification,

Melrose, and ImmuPower are good for infection. You can put these oils

on the inside of the ear well, down and around ear on the outside,

and under chin. Don't ever put an essential oil directly down the ear

canal. Apply 1-2 drops aroound the inside and out and/or on the

mastoid bone directly behind the ear. Eucalyptus oil is good for

inflammation. You can put a couple drops in your hand and then soak

with tiny piece of cotton and then put inside the ear.

Theoils on this site are kinda pricey but if you become a memember

they're not quite as much. Sometimes it's worth it because the oils

can ALWAYS be used for something else. Eucalypyus oil can be placed

on the chest to open up respritory system during a cold. Immupower

can be applied to the feet to strengthen the immune system and is

good to rid the body of candida, which all of us on this site could

use. The best way to get benefits from oils is to inhale them the

second best way is to be applied to the feet because our pores are

large there and can be easily absorbed. Ummm, Purification can be

diffused in the home to get rid of odors, bacteria and all kinds of

things in the air. It gets rid of ants, and can you believe you can

drop it on a tick wether it be on your dog or child, and in seconds

the tick will release it self and be removed without having to rip

out any skin. And Melrose, can be applied to cuts, bruises and insect

bites, but is most effective for tissue regeneration from damage or

injury, burns, cold sores and also candida. So if you invest in one

oil you can use it for many things. I learned that some oils cannot

be applied " neat " they should be diluted with what is called a

carrier oil, which could be almond oil for example. And if you ever

get on oil in your eye, DO NOT wash with water. Water activates

essential oils. You can apply an oil for pain and then apply a hot

wet compress. The heat opens the pores of the skin and the moisture

drives the oils in. Always wash an oil out of your eyes with milk. I

have never done it personally but I always try and tell people in

case.

I don't know if any of this will help but I feel like the least I can

do is give a suggestion because i believe that god has put on this

earth what we need to help heal ourselves it's up to us to get

educated and actually put these things to use.

I hope you can get this problem resolved.

Thank you! This is way more suggestions than the doctor had! If I were to try all of it, and if it worked, how long do you think it would take for the pain to go away or at least improve?The crawly feeling has only been one month- the pain has been 17 years. I hope I do not have something living in my head. Yuck. Re: Doctors & Medicine in General
