A doctor’s visit summed up, Twitter doctors, how to become a doctor these days, the American healthcare system in one meme, American "medical experts" and more health care memes!
WHen considering the UNC's "parent-teen proxy" rules for healthcare info, remind yourself that the UNC biolab at Chapel Hill likely was where the original development of Covid-19 occurred ... prior to its transfer to Wuhan so as to dodge Congrressional oversight.
Doctor: "You have partially occluded coronary arteries. We can split your sternum with a saw and take veins out of your leg and use them to bypass the occluded arteries. Or you can change your diet."
Patient: "Change my diet? Isn't that kind of drastic?"
Of course. WA state has done the same thing. Your insurance will partially pay for it but refuse to give you an explanation of benefits. You pay the balance, for what, you’ll never know. And if you don’t play along, they’ll cancel your insurance.
I refuse to play along. I fired my kids’ doctor when she kicked me out. I will now only take them to telemed, urgent care, or the ER if necessary. And we are cash pay for me and the kids. Only husband is covered by individual plan insurance with his employer.
I wish people would stop equating medical care with health care. My health care does not involve medicine or doctors. I care for my health by getting plenty of fresh air, sunshine, exercise, water, and sleep, while abstaining from nicotine, refined sugar, and processed foods. Last time I went to a doctor was for an injury in '18. The (competent) doctor prescribed 3 days of morphine pills so I could sleep. After that the pain was bearable. The least processed narcotic, and only for as long as needed. That's what medicine is for, getting through an acute crisis, not longterm maintenance for people born normal, which most of us are. I totally ignored all the covidiocy, and stayed healthy.
thanks for the links to natural health providers! I have a drawer with herbs and supplements and recently started methylene blue. Never felt better! did not go to doc because they will disadvize you to do anything healthy. Last good doc in town, elderly black man, retired recently. As to female docs - the one I tried last year was a total bitch, excuse my language.
hahaha in what way or like how the one commenter observed? Foreign or rather Asian doctors, as long as they can be understood, might be better or less arrogant than US trained ones...
she is Asian, I think Indian. Might be born here though. I also avoid all Indian docs. Some are real friendly, may be nice to befriend, but I would not want them as doctors. I know 3.
that is industrial dye I think. that is something different. what you take is food grade, and used for over 100 years now. hospitals still use it in case of poisoning, so I read from a nurse who knows it. As far as I can find, it is also in use as a contrast in some examinations.
Several docs advize it, and there seems to be little harm. If you are old enough, you might remember the old pills de Witt, mom used to take them for something when I was a kid, but then came aspro and aspirin and veganin and mom wanted more modern meds that did not make tongue and P blue LOL
I take vitamins on and off, mostly hair-skin-nails but they don't do much, my nails break just as often. I read that some vitamins are just lab made, so I am going to finish the box I have and then stop. I also know that some are made from the dirt that sits in raw sheep wool - China imports the dirt to make vitamins... that is what did it LOL. No more sheep dirt for me. In the last few months a new store opened that sells way more fresh food so I go there once a week and buy fruit and vegetables fresh. Live vitamins. And of course, if you look at all the prescription drugs, it is way better not to ake any of these either. All man made chemicals are poisonous, and quite a few things in nature are poisonous. Fox glove is deadly poisonous. Several plants in the garden and house plants are poisonous and some deadly. That is how it is. One has to see if it is worth trying it. The MB stopped my headache and ear ringing, and it is said to lower blood sugar, so for me, the 2 drops a day are worth it ! (If I were 25 I might think differently but I am 66 and will take the risk)
it does if you take a larger amount, but I only take 2 drops in the morning in a large glass of water, and then it barely colours, a vague greenish tint is all. It also tastes somewhat weird if you take more, and when I tried 10 drops or 5 drops it did not seem to work for me. I guess everyone has to find their own measure. The 10 drops did make it bluish.
this is just one of several pages where you can check what it is used for. I started it to see if it might help mom who has dementia, but I doubt they would give it to her at the home, where she is.
a dear friend was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and she's "on chemo" now.... it really is one of the most humiliating, debilitating, de-humanising procedures ever, it's horrific. whoever invented it should be....well.... let's not go there. and as the cherry-on-top: no guarantee for a good outcome :-((
My approach to cancer is to not get cancer. 1/3 of ALL cancer is caused by using nicotine. I have never so much as taken one puff of one idiot stick in all my 64+years (I did smoke a product not blessed by politicians in my youth). Bill Gates couldn't pay me enough to smoke tobacco. Another 1/3 of all cancer is caused by refined sugar and processed foods. I swore off soft drinks, sugary foods, and fast food in high school in1975 when I worked for Full O' Life Foods. Last time I needed a doctor was when I tore a knee in 1980. (No diet can prevent boys from being boys). An excellent orthopedic surgeon repaired it. I spent today skiing on that knee in a world class ski resort. I can still ski in my 60s because I didn't spend my 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s rotting my health away with soft drinks, junk food, and nicotine. And I'm paying for this ski trip with all the money I didn't spend on soft drinks, junk food, nicotine, and medical bills. I have no medical bills.
congratulations are in place. fairly healthy here (eggs, nuts, veggies + a rare chicken), although in a more social context, like meeting friends, I succumb to the occasional piece of home-made cake. nice things should be enjoyed occasionally :-)) at present working up the courage to undergo surgery (hip replacement), which I managed to delay for about 3 years. ah well, there are worse things, I suppose. be well, enjoy the skiing!
My mother had a hip replacement recently. In her 90s. The procedure has improved and the recovery time shortened. It was very successful. I wish you an equally good outcome.

So, UNC "healthcare" wants to keep your child's health problems a secret from you, but I'm sure they still want the parent's money.

are these the same so-called experts that think we "affirm" a young girl or boy's gender by lopping off their sex organs and mutilating them?
something tells me many of these people are Godless... https://eccentrik.substack.com/p/gender-affirming-surgery-is-an-attack?r=8ypo0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Have a look through this dude’s substack. I’m a little concerned I’ve been duped… https://chemtrails.substack.com/p/methylene-blue-is-toxic-waste-from

If you scroll on down, he covers the “pharmaceutical grade” stuff.
I’m hoping someone can prove it wrong, especially on the vitamins front (as I’ve been taking them for years) but nobody seems able to.

Yeah, I’m really shocked and disappointed. Especially about the vitamin d being chemically identical to rat poison… wtaf!?
I have heard that methylene blue turns urine blue. Is that true?
it does if you take a larger amount, but I only take 2 drops in the morning in a large glass of water, and then it barely colours, a vague greenish tint is all. It also tastes somewhat weird if you take more, and when I tried 10 drops or 5 drops it did not seem to work for me. I guess everyone has to find their own measure. The 10 drops did make it bluish.
And what is the benefit of taking it?
