Yes, there are those that believe in an holistic approach. As my mother died of lung cancer , she came across a wacky approach, that was debunked by the FDA etc. It involved lights and diet and the person who was doing it wasn’t charging very much. We ended up buying the light from the manufacturer that was like $7500 instead of going to her home to use hers. There were people there that claimed it was helping them.
She was willing to try it but she couldn’t do the herb regime..and so therefore it didnt work for her.
Would it for someone else?
maybe.
Or maybe it was quackery...more likely it was quackery by the orignator of this deal....with those out there willing to take advantage of the sick who are willing to try anything...but money was not an issue so we tried it.
I kept trying to get her to do the herb regime..pleading with her to at least try...but she didnt want to do it because she couldnt stand the taste.
HOWEVER, she is an adult. This was her decision to make.
That is a far cry from dealing with a disabled child who has grand mal seizures every four days. If you put him through detox and auditing and he is still having problems..you might want to try something else to save his life.
..instead of just letting nature take its course until he died.
I think what a lot of people don’t get.. are the huge numbers of completely irresponsible and incapable parents..
barely functionally retarded people with kids..
barely functioning mentally ill people with kids...
barely functioning people caught up in cults with kids..
an arrogant parent who think they know better than doctors..
conspiracy nut parents who think doctors are evil..
the list could go on..
if the government did not step into to protect these children.. the damage would be horrendous...
My mom has been somewhat the opposite. She is now 93 years old and we have had some remarkable developments.
Over the years she loved the attention of doctors. She drove us crazy by wanting to go to doctors.
Consequently, she was put on drug after drug. She has been in a nursing home for several years and has been a zombie for a long time.
A few months ago at her care review plan, I asked about trying to take her off some drugs. Thankfully, the staff agreed to contact the doctor so the withdrawal began.
Our mother is a whole new person. At our Christmas, the rest of the family could not believe it is the same person.
Am I bitter? Yes, but at the same time, I'm grateful that we have some good time with our mother.
I have many other examples of similar experiences to where I avoid doctors except for an accident or something similar.
I have seen the horrors of cancer treatments, only to die at the end of the horror.
I have no confidence in the medical profession. They nearly killed my sister. If she had continued with their treatment, she would not be alive now. Most of them are too lazy to research the best treatment for their patients. They only know to write prescriptions.
Sorry but this is how I feel and I will never criticize how another handles their medical treatment.
