Dear Dan, Thanks for your usual, well-thought-out and stated info and ideas. Thanks for your excellent sharing with "us seekers". I didn't mean to imply that people shouldn't ask questions or reason and discuss with their doctors; however, after the discussion, if one is satisfied with the decision, I feel they should take the recommendation--if the doctor will NOT discuss and reason, you need another doctor for after all, the real decision is the individual patients' responsibility. Many doctors are quite eager to hear about alternative treatments including CS and zapping--share with them!
Thanks especially for your eye-story--YOU are a good patient and sounds as though you have a good doctor.

This situation reminds me of an MD who recommended a Cortisone compound for me to use in my eyes for Episcleritis (inflammation of the sclera, the surface of the white part of the eye). I would get this every year about the same time. The second or third year I asked him if it was necessary to use the Cortisone to treat the eye and what would happen if I didn't. He said that it would probably go away by itself and that I could use aspirin in the meantime for the inflammation! Well, needless to say, I stopped using the Cortisone drops. The outcome was the same. (Now I just spray some colloidal silver in my eyes and don't have any problem...;-)) The point is, YES!, definitely ask! The person who is asking does not know all the ins and outs of the situation, does not know what thought process you used to come up with your recommendation, etc. Otherwise, they will have to end up treating your recommendation as DOGMA. Don't take it personally, they need to know enough to make their own informed decisions. This is the principle behind the saying: “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime." Dan PS This reminds me of another little parable... I was working with an Electrical Engineer on an very obscure problem we had on a circuit he had designed. He went away and studied the situation diligently for a full week! Finally he figured out and understood the problem. He rushed down to me and explained it to me in one minute. He could not comprehend why I did not follow, in one minute, what it had taken him 40 HOURS to understand!... (sigh...) -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
