Take this and Don't Call me in the Morning...

I am constantly amazed at the amount of people, that I encounter on a daily basis, that accept such shoddy medical care.

I just spoke to a women who has spent hours between emergency rooms and doctor's offices, oh and seeing a specialist, with ZERO answers?!  She went to the ER because she could not swallow.  They had no answers for her after 6 hours there.  They she was told to go and see an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist.  He told her that she has reflux.  He has no idea why, and told her to stop eating this and that and take THIS pill.  He then told her he didn't know if the pill would work or not and that she would know if it was going to work at all, in about a week.  HUH?!?

The pill he prescribed will eliminate the acid reflux.  The pill he prescribed, (if it works at all) will be one that she will most likely have to take, forever.

AND NOBODY EVER TOLD HER WHY SHE HAS THE REFLUX?!?!?!?   Just "take that, see if it works and keep paying for that forever and here's a bill...."

DOES ANYONE SEE A PROBLEM WITH THIS?? "I don't know why your body is doing something really screwy but I have zero interest in finding that out...let's just tell that body of yours to zip it! Here's a pill..."



So as I spoke to her and gave her a very quick, impromptu evaluation with TBA  I told her that she can continue eating dairy, chocolate, soda and all the other "normal" foods that you and I each get to eat.  I asked her if she is ok in the bathroom department and she said yes.  Then I asked her if she eats a lot of processed muffins, snacks, food in plastic bags from cardboard boxes...like Otis Spunkmeyer muffins and the like?... "Why, yes, I eat a lot of those actually!!!"  She looked at me amazed.  "Yeah, you are having a reaction to those, stop eating all that.  If you find it in a box or it has hydrogenated oil in it, don't eat it, you are reacting to that"  I tell her knowing that she hears me.

I then tell her to NOT take the pill but to instead take Apple Cider Vinegar when she is feeling the acid.  I tell her to take a full-spectrum digestive enzyme before everything she eats to get her system back on track and with all of that, she should get back to health in no time.

Why would anyone want to silence the RED FLAG of heart burn, acid indigestion or any other RED FLAG that your body is waiving letting you know that something is wrong?  Why would you want to take a pill and silence your God-given symptoms that are letting you know that something is wrong in your body?? HELLOOO PEOPLE!! Symptoms are a sign you need to fix, adjust or help your body.  Symptoms are the RED FLAGS THAT ARE OUR FRIENDS!!!

Stop taking pills to cover up.  Stop taking pills to ignore.  Stop taking pills so you can get sicker.  Stop listening to people that don't know what is wrong with you....

Ug, ok, I am done now...
