Sounds to me like a doctor shifting the blame from the ABX he prescribed. If
this woman read the full FDA-mandated "labels" (sometimes they're more like
books) on the drugs she took, chances are she'll find liver damage listed as a
side effect on one or more. If she switched to CS from ABX and/or left a
doctor's care (spelled receivables account), it's quite likely the MD (Money
Doctor) would blame the CS for her later-discovered liver damage. Even if she
only used CS supplementally, an MD is likely to blame whatever the patient did
that wasn't by his instruction for any mishap that could have been caused by
his actions. I have know many MDs and was once married to a very smart nurse,
and in my experience MDs use the scientific method about as rigorously as your
average 7-11 clerk. The few I have known who were scientific and logical in
their approach were also those most interested in healing their patients and
least interested in making money; also least likely to recommend or prescribe
anything potentially damaging. One ear-ear-nose-throat specialist I once saw,
who was also a plastic surgeon and head/neck cancer specialist, would not
prescribe any antibiotic until he had a culture back from the lab and knew
exactly what he was trying to eradicate. I once had a blocked eustachian tube
that had filled my middle ear with mucus so that I was deaf in that ear for a
month before I went to this doctor. He put an air tube up my nostril, closed
the other, and told me to say K-K-K-K and... POP! the ear cleared. Then he told
me to take Sudafed and use Afrin nasal spray (no antihistamines) for a couple
of weeks until everything was drained, and showed me how to do the K-K-K-K
trick myself. He gave me no ABX, and I never had to go back to him.
Unfortunately, he is rare.
Most doctors make snap judgments and follow routines based on what they did
the last time, which was based on what a drug salesman told him. He's in such a
hurry to make money that he never really listens to a patient, but hustles them
in and out as fast as possible. He keeps the waiting room full with overbooked
appointments to make the patients feel the urgency for his hurry, to make it
look like he's got to get to other patients because there are so many of them.
In truth, he has overbooked in order to squeeze as many fees into ever hour as
possible to drive up his hourly revenue so he can knock off his hospital rounds
and still have time for golf, opera, gambling, or whatever his favorite
pasttime is.
This stems from the method the AMA uses to screen med school applicants.
They're chosen based on their academic overachievement, not their passion for
science or their dedication to healing people. And they're motivated (mostly)
by their desire for money and prestige, which fits right into the AMA criteria.
I read somewhere that the AMA was founded by one doctor who used smear
tactics to extort other doctors to join his organization, which is nothing more
than a self-serving guild, like the masons or the plumbers, designed to limit
competition and thus maximize per-member revenue. Anyone familiar with the
story I'm recalling? I'd love to track it down and document it.

What antibioitics did the woman use before she started silver? Long term
ABX have many damaging
effects. Also, lots of Lyme people are put on Diflucan or Niazoral for the
yeast they get because of the
ABX, and both of those are severely toxic to the liver.
Never heard of a problem with silver before. Sounds like another scare
tactic to me.

Hello everyone!
Personally "I" don't think this is possible or true but had to ask. Some
woman in the Lyme ng told me that CS can cause liver damage. She claims her
friend is near a liver translplant because of it. Is this at ALL possible???? I
don't think so and think there must be something else her friend is taking that
must have caused liver damage? Anyone know if there could be any truth to this
or not???
Thanks!
