I have experienced this more than once. " Here are your pills see you in 6

months. " No follow-up needed. No care for my feelings for dread, especially if

this is the first time getting BV or a YI. I wish there was a way to get

together

for an OBGYN reform. These " uncaring " Dr.s effect their patients emotional

(even close to abuse if they are saying it is all in their heads) and stress

just

makes the problem worse.

They do and say things like that because they don't have an answer,

but they can't admit to their patients, or worse, can't admit it to

themselves... afterall they have that big degree and all those

credentials.

If they kept current on the trends of medication and treatment in their field,

maybe they would be worth more than the paper their degrees were printed

on.

Traditional Medical Practitioners (that I've seen in the US) seem to

believe that stress is the cause of all illness that cannot be

detected with their traditional lab tests. I understand there is a

mind/body connection, but that works both ways. If you are stressed,

you may experience physical symptoms. They seem to neglect that if

your body is not well, that will cause mental tension.

They also believe that controlling symptoms is an acceptable solution.

I used to be happy with this method but I'm beginning to realize that

controlling symptoms can only last so long. You will have to address

the underlying issues sooner or later.

Traditional medicine will say that stress is a cause of illness, but

will not look at physical environmental factors: diet, pollution,

medication, ... etc. as causes of illness. This implies that I am

responsible for putting stress on myself, but I am not responsible for

eating a crappy diet, abusing meds-alcohol, ... etc. On this list,

people take responsibility for what they feed their bodies and expose

their bodies to.

Finally, they do not like any treatments that require the patient to

suffer in the process. For example, die-off is not acceptable. In

their minds, that is not healing. As soon as any " side effects " occur,

you are asked to contact your doctor and switch your medication. The

methods mentioned on this list usually involve some level of

self-torture and could have negative effects before you feel better.

The differences between traditional medicine and the approaches used

by people on this list are philosophical. The approaches mentioned on

this list look at the body as one connected entity. Our gut problem is

connected to the liver, kidneys, diet, environment. The message seems

to be: " Educate yourself. Treat your body with care and you will feel

better. "

I'm trying the methods mentioned on this list because I would like to

commit the time and effort to heal for the long run.

(Actually traditional medicine pre-dates modern medicine. I think you

meant 'allopathic' as in interventionist practitioners)

Also, stress produces toxic metabolites as the stress hormones break

down. This creates quite a lot of free radical damage. Free radical

damage, also known as oxidative stress, is a causative or an

aggravating factor in dozens of disorders and diseases, and not tending

to that detail with antioxidants can undermine your best efforts to get

well. Although these fundamentals are part of the medical research,

they are not in the textbooks yet, although we've known about it for

about 20 years, probably more.
