Saving Face - The Dreaded Inquiry: “You’ve got… WHAT?”

Hi!

I thought that I would bring a little levity to this subject because it is such a drag when you need support in trying to explain yourself. So, you’ll find a little bit of humor in here for all those who maybe too serious!

In a discussion with the “other MDs” and family, one is faced with a problem – how do you convey what’s really going on? How does one circumvent the preconceived mindset that you could be delusional? Perhaps a bit of reverse psychology or backup material may help when you need some support. Someone sent me an email stating that they gave something to their family members to read that helped them. I think it’s a great idea -- this knowledge can be shared (thanks to a great person for sharing this with me)!

1)     Originally, this brilliant link was found by Coffeecup (thank you) who posted it on the Parasite Forum. Go directly to Dr. James Howenstine’s site, on his article and print it out. The Overlooked Relationship Between Infectious Diseases And Mental Symptoms.

 
This is a well written article. Dr. Howenstine’s supports the idea of parasitic microscopic invaders; therefore, new tests would be relevant. Insist upon it and keep your sanity! If some “other MD” reads the article and doesn’t get it then perhaps they need to reexamine those psych meds or get themselves checked out [a dry joke, cough, cough]. I realize that some people will differ on the idea of lab tests, but they do serve a purpose. 1) It’s a good idea! Why? If you’re treating “something” how do you know what you’re treating if you don’t know exactly what “it” is? You may have worm parasites but there could be an array of something else that may need to be considered as part of treatment. I have found that it is never one thing!  For any responsible practitioner this would be important. 2) A proving point -- you know that “something” is going on. There will be a time that you will want to prove to others (more importantly to yourself) that you were right and they were wrong. There is something about standing your ground in redemption with verifiable proof!

2)     Testing. It really doesn’t matter where you get the tests done (again), as long as they are done properly! Be wise in who you choose when trying to prove a final point. Here’s my suggestion. If you’ve had tests performed and they’ve come out negative, it might be a good idea to have someone read my write-up on What Happened to Proven Sciences? and Apxr’s Comments & Observations (both are below). http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=913990#i

 
These two things should be good ammo for retesting purposes. They explain what happens in labs and how specimens are handled. One last thing, be sure not to say that Rabbitears or Apxr wrote these, because the come back will be, “Rab-whoand A-what?” and you might be carried off in the paddy wagon for sure! For a more professional view with additional post comments they can go to the website and look it over at http://www.rhrplus.com/article_labs.html .

3)      What do you do in the case where someone insists that you take psych meds or have counseling because you don’t know what you’re talking about? Be well prepared because this issue will come up! I can tell you one thing, it’s not worth getting upset over – I’ve tried it and it didn’t help.

I’ve thought about this and here’s some comic relief that could be tried, or at least the thought of it is pretty funny (I think). At all times, carry with you “calming” herbs in pill form. When the conversation starts steering toward the psych ward, there will be no point to discuss it further. Politely thank them for their time and claim that you have “Parasitopsychosis*” (try not to bust out laughing) and hand them the herbs. At this point, they’ll more upset than you and they’ll need those calming herbs anyway. Besides, they think you’re nuts and don’t know what you’re talking about, so what difference will it make at that point?!  Perhaps a less dramatic message would be that you wear a t-shirt that you’ve made with bold letters of PARASITOPSYCHED and never make mention of its meaning. If they’re smart enough, they’ll get it or you can hope that they do! On departure make sure you smile and don’t leave in a fit of rage. Do we call this reverse Parasitopsychosis?  

BTW, if you gave those herbs to your doctor, do you think he/she could count that as “trade for services rendered” – psych pills for calming herbs? Just wondering…  

 
[For all who read the last bit and took it seriously, please read again and chuckle this time. :) Thanks.]

Best of Health,

*A silly word I made up combining Parasites + psychosis. Since people like labels I figured might as well have one for amusement purposes that sounds “serious”.
