It was the medical advice from physicians that (*)(*)(*)(*) near killed me. Doctors treat symptoms and peddle medicine, they do not want to cure you they need your insurance. In my case it was all about my diet. The question I asked for 3 years to each and every medical professional/specialist I saw was could this have anything to do with my diet? Their only solution was antibiotics and pain killers. Not one even suggested a change in diet. It wasn't until I talked to a nutritionist did I get the help I actually needed. There is no doubt in my mind that if I would have taken the doctors advise, I would be dead or on my death bed today. They were literally killing me, one pill at a time.
I'm glad you talked to a nutritionist and changed your diet. Everyone should - The foods you eat makes all the difference..... A young relative (27 yrs old) had taken a nutrition class at his college and was shocked at the JUNK in fast foods......said a McD's/BK, etc burger is only 1/3 meat and the rest of it is additives, perservatives, chemicals and a ton of sodium.... he also learned about the junk in the processed foods in grocery stores. It was a real wake-up call and he quickly changed his diet and eats really healthy now along w/most of my family and we eat mostly organic now. Well, my youngest daughter who had a bout w/leukemia eats nothing but organic now and said it's made a huge difference int he way she feels...... There's a ton of good info out there about foods and what's in it. I remember one health article I read said 4 of the worst foods to consume is donuts, instant soups, deep friend foods and all sodas.......
My problem was eating too much at each sitting and mixing starches and meats. I do a couple carb-free days a week, eat lots of fresh/frozen veggies, and fruit for a snack a couple times a day. Lost 40 lbs and stayed at this weight for a couple years now. My digestion is back working the way it did when I was in my 20-30's and I am way healthier than most of the people around me 10-20 years younger than I am. I do not drink sodas any more except on a rare occasion (two in the last year), and do not do fast foods at all. I haven't eaten at Macky'D's in over 2 decades, never liked it to begin with, but still did the Whataburger/B'King fix at lunch regularly until I fixed my diet. I do not do white bread, anything processed in a can, or pre-made in a TV dinner type meal. I drink water, or Green Tea with honey and no sugar anything. Still drink beer, but I gotta have some vices or I would just die. lol
Well, you have it all together and altho I don't drink alcohol, I think beer would be better than the sodas.... I don't drink tap water. I buy my own purified or if I don't have some, I boil a kettle of it to a hard boil for around 10 mins to kill whatever is in there. No, I'm not paranoid - I just figure if they don't care what's in the processed foods in the grocery stores & fast food places, why should they care what's in our tap water? They wouldn't. The only problem I have is gout, so I drink a lot of water daily. If you know anyone who has gout and takes meds, tell them all they have to do is limit their meat intake, drink lots of water and a glass of black cherry juice and it'll keep the flare ups away..... there's a lot of good natural remedies for many problems, but not all, of course......
Yep there are a lot of natural remedies that do work but if you don't eat properly or are already over medicated they will do little to nothing for you in most cases. I heard that about Gout. There is no doubt in my mind that most peoples medical problems come from what they shove down their throat. Of course they will never admit it can be that simple.
Science took all those natural remedies and folk medicines, and analysed them to discover what worked and what didn't. The stuff that worked, they called that "Medicine". The rest went on to be soup, or pot pourri.
Yes and doctors have tried for a hundred years to disqualify the use of extracts from animal and plant life, as voodoo witch craft while they pawn off pills and syrups made from the same extracts derived from animal and plant life. Instead of a spoon full of cod liver oil, which tastes terrible if you never had the pleasure, is packed into a fish oil tablet now, that cost twice as much. Both good for your digestion and heart though. And I don't care what any doctor says, monkey blood was the best antibiotic known to man. Exactly why it isn't available any more? Oh yea pharmaceutical companies own the government. Of course you can get hillbilly heroin with a prescription (wink, wink), but something that has never been linked to any sort of bodily harm, what so ever, and only has been proven by decades of actually working as designed, doesn't mean a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing to the so-called scientists, who demand such results.
Everything that has effect has side effects. If it can't cause bodily harm, it's probably inert, and useless except as a placebo.
If it has dangerous side effects it is probably overcompensating for one thing, while damaging something else. That is what most people do not realize. Their body isn't a garbage disposal, and it has to be properly maintained just like anything else or it becomes worn and weakened. If you abuse it, or more to the point over abuse it, cramming down pills for this symptom or that symptom isn't really helping, just attacking symptoms and not actually helping the real problem.
You are right about physicians treating symptoms but you should not take random medical advice from people without doing your due diligence.
Had already been to four doctors and three specialists in a two year period, spent thousands of dollars (insurance spent a whole lot more), and got diddly squat for it. I was literally dying and all they could do for me was insist I take pain killers and antibiotics, and become another junkie for them to peddle drugs on. The so-called experts were useless at this point. All the random person did was share her experiences, and suggest a diet, which not only stopped the pain and actually helped, but clearly showed when it came to understanding the importance of balancing ones nutritional needs, doctors were morons. Can't tell you what pain I suffered due to the lack of knowledge and sympathy/empathy displayed by these so-called trained professionals. Broken bone OK, need heart repairs most definitely, doctors are there to help. Talk about nutrition and how it effects the body, might as well take advice from a 6 year old than ask a pharmaceutical drug pusher, AKA doctor
It's late, but read this and want to reply b/f I go to sleep. My son-in-law was having some medical problem and he & my daughter switch completely over to organic food after a lot of researching what's in the processed crap they sell in grocery stores. Within time he started losing weight and feeling much better. When he saw his dr, he mentioned changing to better nutrition by going organic and the dr didn't say anything... I had changed most of my eating to organic also and mentioned it to a friend who told me her doctor had said 'oh phoo! not any better than the other stuff'...... which is a bald-faced lie.
Mebbe vinegar kills C. diff?... Vinegar may help treat ulcerative colitis Feb. 10, 2016 - Researchers think changes to bacteria in the gut, caused by vinegar, were responsible for fewer ulcerative colitis symptoms among mice in a recent study.
I think you're thinking of pseudomembranous colitis. Haven't seen anything about C. diff causing UC, only that people with UC are vulnerable to getting a worse cases of it. Fecal transplants are (or should be first-line, I should say) for C. diff and antibiotics for other infections make you vulnerable to it. The closest thing I found to what you said was that vinegar added to bleach helped kill the spores of Bacillus species on surfaces. Unfortunately that wouldn't work out too well on patients. That's cool though that vinegar promotes healthy gut bacteria, since I love vinegar... so I suppose in that sense maybe it could help prevent C. diff.
