The connection is not necessarily in the previous post. It just seems to me that over the last several weeks that you argue for the establishment (big money, individual or corporate) and against anyone trying a simple, cheap (and effective) methods, be it healing or anything else.
In 1997 I had a heart attack. Blocked artery. Thank goodness there was a trained physician to clear the blockage. He gave me some medicine called "Ticlid". I took it for 3 days and started having bruises all over my body without my bumping anything. I knew enough to know that it was internal bleeding. I stopped taking it. The doctor later told me that I could be killed if I kept taking it. Why did he not tell me that in the beginning? 30 days later when I went back for a treadmill test, I was chatting with his female assistant as we were waiting for the dr. The assistant told me that I was not in charge with my health, the doctor was. I disagreed. What would you do in that situation. I like to think that you look out for yourself, but I do get the impression that you have utmost faith in the medical profession and blindly turn over responsibility for your health to them. As for me, I took responsibility for myself and did change my eating habits, take several herbs, select vitamins, etc. In 1992 I went back to the same dr and had him to run the roto-rooter and camera back up into the heart to check it out after 5 years and it was more clear all over than when I had the original attack. He told me to keep doing whatever I was doing. The strongest medication I took in that 5 years was aspirin.
A few years ago an eye doctor found pressure in my wife's eyes. Here is the story posted in the testimonal forum:
Several years ago there was an eye screening clinic at our local National Guard Armory. There was some pressure found in my wife's eyes. Glaucoma does tend to run in her family. The doctor made an appointment 30 days later. I asked him what his opinion of vitamins and herbs was. He got rather testy with me and said, "You can get into a lot of trouble with those things!!!" I let it slide and when I got home I did some research and found RUTIN. Got some right away and wife started taking them. When we went to the doctor 30 days later, he looked at his chart, then looked in her eyes and got a quizical look on his face. He looked THREE TIMES at his chart and then her eyes. He finall said, " I do not know how I got such a high reading, your eyes are normal." Made a believer out of me. I never told the doctor what she did.
Hopefully you can now see where I am coming from. I do utilize the medical profession whenever I deem it necessary, but only when I DEEM IT NECESSARY, not them. Some drs around here do seem to honestly want to help people, but most I have seen or dealt with in some capacity seem to care only for the money. I have seen some refuse to see patients unless they have insurance, no matter how sick they were. As mentioned, I live in a small town and there is a small hospital. When my daughter was 10 years old, she broke out with a rash all over her body, bottoms of feet and palms of hands and all over. It was a Saturday and the dr on call would not leave his cookout to come to the hospital to check her out. I took her on to Greensboro 30 miles away. Turned out she had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/rmsf/). If you checked the link, you see it could be fatal. The dr had the audacity to charge me for answering his phone. I never paid it and begged him to take me to court so it would be published in the paper. He never did.
You can argue for the medical establishment, and by extension the moneyed establishment, all you please. I just hope you never have a need to think for yourself when it comes to you or a family member. Good luck.And I really mean that.
