Dear Stephen, My response to yoiur response about the criticism of alternative medicine can delay "real" treatment and cause death. Let me give you two scenarios that have happend to me personally since July. I had a horse presetn with a swollen leg. It had been swollen in a similar fashion months earlier and had been treated with penicillin and had resolved in a day or so. I felt this was a recurreence. Called vet and started right away on massive doses of penicillin. But this time seemed different the horse seemed excessivley anxious and distressed. The leg did not go down like before. 3 days into the treatment he lay down and I could see in the light of my flashlight red areas above the hoof forming in circular patches as I watched they were under the skin but the rapidity they developed began to fill me with terror, I am enough of a biologist to know I was dealing with something I had never before seen and had only heard tales of, but still had a hard time believing I was face to face with the a strep b infection or the dread "flesh eater" We got other vets on the phone I did all they said including keeping a water hose on the leg to reduce swelling. By dawn he seemed to feel better and got up and wanted food. I thought all was well until severl days later when the swelling still had not gone down and then I noticed he did not look quite right and closer inspection revealed the hoof had fallen off. I called every vet colledge in the US looking for a solution including an artificial leg as I loved this horse. he was gelded and had not value as a breeding animal his value was in my love for him as I had raised him from a foal as I have all but one of my horses.
The situation went on trying this and that and some said the hoof might grow back in a year if I could keep this or that problem from happening. But he grea worse and in desperation 3 days before we took him to a vet college clinic I began injecting him with Colloidal silver hoping that if I at least finished off any infection they might better be able to help him They could not, for a lot of techincal reasons I won't go into. But the post-mortom exam revealed he had the flesh eater deduced from the damage, but not one living type of bacteria could be found in his body on throrough exam at the vet school. that was the power of CS and had I started CS first and not cowerdly stuck with useless penicillin my horse might yet be alive. I was afraid to inject him with CS as I did not know know if one could safely inject it in a horse. I let my fear of action cause me to hesittate and now a good friend died at the hands of so-called conventional medicine which in most cases is useless. All regular docs are good for is trauma, and most of them suck at that. I used to work with those turkeys and I know how they are when not putting on a good face in front of patients. The next thing was very personal. In October a friend of mine, my personal edicto at the paper I write for became ill. I did not know, we did not stay in constant contact unless something came up, we saw one another once a month at an eatery where the papers staff had our monthly business meeting. He had chest pain and it was thought to be a heart attack, so the brilliant conventional docs spent 3 days treating a non-exxistent heart attack and when they finally scratcehd enough brain cells to gether to figure out that it was a gallstone stuck in the duct it was too late, he had gone into acute pancreatitis kidney failure and a coma. learned of his death on Oct. 14th when I called th publisher of my paper on a matter pertaining to the columns I write. . I was shocked, but more so I was filled with fear, as my husband had started to have similar symtoms a few days after my editor Dan. And on this sunny Sat. of October 4th, I noticed that my hubby who had been unable to eat for much for over 10 days due to stomach discomfort was turning yellow. as he had early in the game shown weakness and fever, I had started him on CS, and I zapped him and i did foot reflexology all which helpt the discomfort, but when I saw him turning yellow the same day I learned a good friend had died of similar symptoms fear filled me, rapidly my mind rolodexed biliary tract diseaese and their genesises and mimics, and I thought what Dan and Mike had in common was the restaurant we all ate in. All it would take would be one food handler not to wash their hands and get fecal matter on some of the food, and Dan and Mike may have been the drawers of the short stick. I figured some unknowne infectious or toxic agent causeing swelling of the liver and surrounding organs and tissue causing spasms of the gallbladder to expell silent stones and so on. MIke would only have pain if he tried to eat. But the turning yellow filled me with intense fear. I almost wimped and insisted he go to a "real" doctor, but then I calmed myself and drew upon the years of knowedge I have accrued in "ditch" medicine so I could survive and help others survive in all conditions especially post disaster when medical help is in short supply. I knew the first step should be to assume a stone and do a liver and gallbladder flush. I have a good reciep for it from an herbal course I have taken. We did the flush, I did it with him for the heck of it. Started with 4 ounces of olive oil and 4 ounces of lemons juice and an ounce of fresh giner root and some cloves of galic in a blender. It actually taste like a tangy smoothy, not a bad drink at all. He got a very upset stomach from that first dose. It was followed with a tea containing all the liver herbs such as dandylion and milk thistle and some others. That first dose was given on Monday the 16th of October, the night we went to view the body of my dead friend and console his family. Everyone there remarked on how yellow Mike was and that he should see a doctor. Afterwards we went with my publisher to a bar to talk of Dan and the sudden death. At the bar, 5 hours after the liver and gallbladder flush MIke was hungry and was able to eat his first decent meal in almot 3 weeks, and it gave him no distress whatsoever. By midweek his yellowing and other signs of severe liver disease such as yellowish browning of the whites of his eyes and brown urine, had all gone away. He is now as fine as if nothing had happened. would he be as dead as Dan if we had taken him to the same idiot hospital. I have gone to that same hospital for erergencies years ago when I was still stupid enough to still think doctors might sort of know what they are doing. I am lucky they did not kill me whe I once went there for asthma. Mike once went there years earlier for abdominal gas which he used to get before we discovered acidopholus, and they treated him as if he were having a heart attack for a while despite the fact it was obviously not. I went there for lower right abdominal pain and they thought it muist be my gallbladder and wanted to ultrasound that and found no stones and had no idea why I hurt and I boldy suggested to the ultrasound technician, gee, why don't we put your littel wand actually where I feel the pain instead of assuming referred pain. You see I had gastrointestianl symtoms too so of course being a woman it is not my heart it is my gallbladder, but since the tech humored me and put the wand where the pain was they saw "fluid" where it should not be, oh wonder of wonders I had just had a ruptured ovarian cyst which the ob/gyn books will tell you cause gastrointestinal upset. Lower right side pain and the look for problems where I feel no pain. Ca we say I D I O T S. When I worked with MDs in my old respirtory therapy days I had to make half of them rewrite orders or their reversing mixes of isoprel and saline amounts would have caused fatal heart arrythmias. How many people died on my days off because of things like this. Such questions haunt me Considering how many medical errors I caught per day in my own area how many go on per day in other areas. That is my anser to the delaying treatment with alternatives. If you are an idiot and do not have the ability or will to educate yourself fully to be your own physician then yes you should go take your chances with regular MD's they are better than nothing and you might get lucky and get the 1 out of 100 MDs on duty who actually learned something in med school. But know that for infections now, we have so many that are antibiotic resistent that they are helpless in the face of the more virulent ones. All they can and will do is mutilate you to stop the flesh eater. like firemen bulldozing tress before a raging forest fire, they cut away health flesh to stop the spread of the flesh eater. Then hoping that if you live they can do some recontrsuctive surgery. They would never try silver or zappers or anything the ****ing FDA doe not approve as even if it can save your life, it can't do so without official approveal. I could rant on and on regarding this> I could site horror story after horror story mine and that of friends and family and acquantance. Conventioanl medicine should be called "alternative" as they use horrifying unproven usleless crap like mutialting surgery, immune system destroying radiation, toxic useless drugs. Think they care...not it is all for profit, that is the bottom line. Caveat emptor, especially in medicine. Kindly country doctors who will fight for your life no longer exist.
