Re: Do you let your drs know youself-medicate?

Agreed. Doctors have often done me more harm than good, I think. They're

glorified drugs pushers mostly. I've refused more medicines they're tried to

push on me than what I've agreed to take. And trying to get off those few as

well. Maybe the Armour will help me with that.

youself-medicate?

If I left it up to the AMA doctors, I honestly believe I would be dead now.

WHere I believe there is a place for them at some times and for certain

things, I think the warning labels should read: " PATIENT BEWARE "

Yes or a good Indian medicine woman, which I've consulted myself before. Apache

medicine woman in fact. Or naturopathic doctors or other alternative healt

practioners. Done that too, including chirorpractors & accupuncturists,

iridologists, herbalist. Problem is, health insurance doesn't cover those.

That's the kicker for me.

Well...yeah.....of course...that's the problem. Insurance would only be

beneficial for me if I stepped out in front of a fast moving truck, I think.

I can't even get public assistance because of a trust and the insurance that

my brother had it buy for me.....and there is a $1000 deductible on the

policy which I can't afford. After, that, it's really worthless anyway, LOL,

so I am doing what I can myself. That's why I was asking about those non

doctor's office tests down in Sacramento....maybe I can scrapoe up enough to

get some thyroid and horone tests done. What would you recommend?

I am going to try and do the Master's Miracle cleanse/fast. (Stanley

Burroughs - " Healing for the Age of Enlightenment " ) Problem is, if one is

mercury toxic, fasting can be very dangerous, sigh....

This fast includes maple syrup and fresh organic lemon juice, so I am going

to try and do it for just 2 days at a time or so....long enough to help

clean the liver, but not long enough to get the body to start really

detoxing, which could be dangerous for me.

Anyway, that is my little tidbit for the day. I believe that if we can get

our bodies cleaned, out, then we can allow for a lot of healing to take

place.

By the way, what was your experience with the medicine woman? (I did not

realize that Indian tribes allowed for the women to practice)

Inga,

When you fast, your body breaks down fat for energy. Fat is where the

toxins in your body are stored. I would be very careful...
