I'm lucky, my mother listens to what I say and takes the iodine,in fact I have to stop her being too enthusiastic sometimes, but she doesn't like to read about it and if she has any problems she still thinks maybe she should be going to the doctor.
I think she's finally getting the idea it's a waste of time asking him though especially after what happened to me and how I suffered from their mistreatment and recovered so much without drugs. They even tried to get her to talk me into having my colon removed, she told them I was too stubborn to listen to her.
A few doctors respect you if you go against their advice believe it or not,
some of them would do the same thing themselves
My mother lost a breast 30 years ago. My father wasnt so lucky, the surgery for bladder cancer killed him 15 years ago. I wish I'd known what I know now back then
