Don't trust me or my advice, I'm not your doctor.
I can't hold back any longer.... here's some food for thought.
This is why I don't go to the doctor. The brain is a powerful thing. Consider the matrix... if you die in the matrix, you die in real life.
If you imagine you are sick, you become sick. If someone tells you that you are sick, you (if you weren't actually) become sick, if you believe them. It's the power of suggestion. You go to the doctor, he says that he thinks you are depressed, prescribes a bunch of drugs for you, and now what? You're shelling out hundreds of dollars for meds, become broke, and now you ACTUALLY have depression because you're broke and it sucks. Then he tells you about some side effects, you start paying attention, and lo and behold "I feel upset stomach!". So you go back to the doctor (the one who gave you meds that upset your stomach), he switches your meds to more expensive ones, now you're even more depressed, so he ups the dosage and adds even more.... All the women in my family were diagnosed with "chronic depression". One was diagnosed, convinced the others to get checked, they got diagnosed, and now they all sit around during holidays and boo-hoo about which meds they are on and the costs. Depression....psssf. Never mind that all of them had sh!tty lives with sh!tty husbands, were broke, kids were leaving home, parents were dead/dying... never mind depressing elements of their lives. No, no. They have a chemical imbalance is what the doctor told them. Duh, they were depressed, you didn't need to measure chemicals to figure it out. Let's add some other chemicals to the mix!
People and their perceived illnesses drive me bonkers. Listen, if you believe whole-heartedly and honestly that something will cure you, it will. For example, dumbo and the feather. I've seen this crap work many, many times. How do you think faith healers work? People BELIEVE. Just as people thought they were sick, they think the faith healer will cure them. PRESTO! Magic? No, mind over body.
Before I offer a magic solution to all your problems, let me offer a scenario. I've been on the Atkin's Diet for a little over two years now. Yes, it gets a bad rep because it takes a certain restraint that people just don't have. So, the people fail, stay fat, and bad-mouth the diet because "it didn't work". Where, in reality, the people failed the diet, the diet didn't fail them. That being said, the diet is basically reducing your food options to near caveman levels. Meat, cheese, eggs, nuts, leafy vegetables. That's about it. No MSG, no french fries, no hydrolzyed soy protein, no high fructose corn syrup, etc. My body has become so ultra-proficient at digesting animal proteins it's freaky. I can sit down for dinner, eat a half-pound of cheese, 10 eggs, and wash it all down with a half gallon of milk. I won't fart once and I'll have a completely regular movement the next day. (TMI, sorry, but it's relevant.) Now, I went out the other day and someone treated me to some fast-food. My body doesn't have ANY tolerance for food bourne bacteria from unsanitary conditions anymore because I don't subject myself to processed foods. Within the hour, hot, frothy jets of liquid fire blasting like Mt. St. Helens through a screen door. (Graphic TMI, but it's relevant) My body didn't care for that garbage and purged it. Shame on me for inviting that crap into my temple, that's what I get. FYI, I've lost close to 70lbs and nearly have a washboard stomach for the first time in my life. I'm 5'8", and 30.
As for you guys, I'm extremely interested to find out just what your eating habits are. A bag of Dorito's, a six-piece McNuggets, and wash it down with 3 or 4 Mt. Dew's for dinner? Don't forget to take your snake oil ice cream for desert. Consider the crap that you put in your body that wasn't meant to be there! Syphillus to boost microbe counts? You are so far beyond fixing with the chemical ****tails you consume - prescribed by your docktors no less - that it's no small wonder that your bodies can't stabilize/equalize/normalize.
So before you get all defensive, I'll offer my magic cure. And consider it HEAVILY before you reply.
Your bodies need to detoxify. What's the best way to do it? Fasting.
Nothing but water, water, water for seven days. I've read about the garlic variation where you have one fresh clove of garlic for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner. After reading more about the miraclulous powers of garlic and ginseng, I'd suggest picking one or both as "magic feathers" to use with your fasts. Blow that crap out of your bodies and don't ask the doctor if it's okay, he'll tell you that your kidneys will fail and your eyes will bleed and offer you some meds for having such crazy thoughts.
Don't bother replying with "but I'm sick, the doctor said so!" and "the tests proved..." because it will be wasted on me. If you want to believe you are sick, you are suckers. You are suckers for buying into the whole pharmaceutical hustle. The sicker you are, the better consumers you are. Every time you see the doctor... you pay. Every time you need a test.... you pay. Every time you go to the drugstore to pick up the latest and greatest... you pay. Pay pay pay pay pay and for what? To get better? To be ashamed of yourself for being a shut-in because you are convinced that you are a basket case? They have a word for over obsessing about your health.... hypochondria. You don't need a bubble, you need a different hobby. Our society of comfort has us believing that there is a drug for anything that discomforts us. Limp willy? Viagra. Hate your life? Prozac. Don't want to pay attention to stuff that bores you? Ridlin.
My mother took me into the doctor and had me tested for allergies when I was younger. I tested positive for nearly all of the skin tests, tested positive for asthma, all sorts of tests came up positive. You know what? I have sensitive skin. You scratch my skin and put some junk in there, my skin freaks out. (DUH?) If I wear anything cheaper than gold or titanium against my skin, it get a rash. If my laundry detergent has detergents/dyes/perfumes... my clothes give me a rash. I've never once had an asthma attack. My body wasn't made to wear metal, wear clothes, or eat/drink chemicals. I'm a cave man. A cave man that can't remember the last time he was sick, or what it was that he called "sick".
:cuss: "Multiple chemical sensitivity?" Are you fuxing kidding me? Gee, let's see, if I drink a fifth of vodka, smoke a pack of cigarettes, eat some shrooms, pop about 5-10 hits of E, and shoot some heroin into the corners of my eyes, what's going to happen? I'll experience some "multiple chemical sensitivity". COME ON YOU GUYS! Pull your heads out of your aces and think.
Think about it. Think about cave men. Think about 115 year old Japanese people - what did they eat their whole lives? Big Macs? Probiotics? Kraft Maccaronni and Cheese? No.... fish, rice, vegetables, more fish, more rice. More importantly, how often did these 115 year-old Japanese people visit the doctor?
Do the fast. Stop pumping goofy chemicals intor your body. Then, eat whatever you please. Then, when the food you ate makes you sick, don't eat it again. You don't need a damn doctor to tell you it's bad for you. If you go to a restaurant, and the food makes you sick, don't eat there again. You don't need a damn doctor to tell you it's bad for you. If you are seeing a woman and she makes you unhappy, dump her. You don't need a damn doctor to tell you it's bad for you. Broke? Get a job... don't wait for a doctor to tell you something silly like "You're broke, have you considered getting a job?"
Doctors guess. Doctors mess up. Doctors prescribe placebos. Doctors make a lot of money for guessing and messing up. When doctors are caught messing up, it's called malpractice. Pharmaceutical companies provide special things to special doctors that prescribe special drugs. When you aren't buying what the doctor is selling, they refer you to a psychiatrist to prescribe special drugs to you. Please wake up people. Look at corruption in politics, corruption in business, and consider how many countries have standardized health care. Why don't we? Capitalism. Healthy people are bad for business.
I'll leave you with this:
