Thank God somebody is finally looking at this. I had a very strong sense that many of the neurological disease were actually fungal. The overuse of antibiotics has caused me to have all sorts of issues but mainly gut. its been a constant fight to fight off Candida for over 30 years. if you mention this to a medical doctor, they claim ignorance of it. Recently I developed hyperthyroidism & brought up Candida to the Endocrinologist who actually BARKED at me that se didn't know anything about it. If the Epoch Times is aware, maybe she should do some reading! Thanks for this!
I’ve realized that most doctors know sh#t about health. They just tick off boxes. Give meds. Treat symptoms I have a couple of test questions I ask if I happen to see a new GP. Their answer depends on if I walk out the door. The age of Covid has added a few more. I rarely see a conventional doc now. My functional medicine doc is great plus she and most of her staff is unvaxxed. Glad you pushed back a little. They pull the “ Im smarter than you are because I’m a doctor” crap--some more than others, of course.
1 The big one is about statins. Why? 2 Then what should my diet be if I want to handle cholesterol levels without medication? Dietary cholesterol is proven not to affect cholesterol level because our bodies produce it and every cell needs it. The story of statins is long and sordid. So why lower total cholesterol? HDL and LDL isn’t even cholesterol as such. They just move it around like a cars on a train. They will probably lose interest in you then. Lol. Another one is how much Vit D3 should I get. (Some docs may have twigged on to the correct answer by now—-much more than earlier recommendations but still Covid revealed the lack of education on how effective it is to immune system to keep viruses at bay.). Ask them about red meat and plant protein. If they whiff about red meat and saturated fat causing type 2 diabetes they have really flunked the test. My interest is in dietary and lifestyle solutions to gain real health.so most of my possible questions come from that angle. Most, not all of course, are not up on current research. They get practically no nutrition training in med school. I rarely visit conventional medicine docs now. I trained myself. Look at the advice brochures around a doctors office and med system newsletters. Even health insurance recommendations. Lots of clues there—even the recipes conform to the dismal state of nutrition information these days. Good luck. It was the cholesterol con that woke me up. Covid just nailed the coffin tight for good. 😁👍🏻
These are fantastic questions -- I appreciate your sharing them. I dread going to the doctor (so I haven't, actually). I will accompany my elderly parents to their next visit, and I'm going to try out a few of your questions.
What are your thoughts on the screening tests they push at every checkup (stool sample for colon cancer screening, mammogram)?
I’m 75 and not getting mammograms anymore. Even Medicare only pays every 2 years. If I was to get one it would be a thermal one in a private screening shop as I’m sure a doc won’t ok one. My last mammogram in 2021 hurt like hell and the sonogram? one Hurt bad also. The regular one has risks and leads to over diagnosis and unnecessary treatment in many cases. Not all, of course but most are slow growing with some time for further testing. Now with the turbo cancers they might be more needed. Im unvaxxed, even flu no shots but 1 or 2 in the past. I did a colonoscopy in a box last. No family history of colon cancer and I eat clean. I had to have hip surgery after an accident last year and that was scary but no one asked about shots and no masks. My last visit before that was before Covid so no shot records were there anyway. Small local hospital with staff I actually knew. But I purchased a post jab protocol advised on FLCCC and did that after I got home just for my peace of mind. I have never done those multi tests that go around in a van. Not about to start. Good luck. Our health and life is in our hands now. Thank God for substack.
Mammograms is another money making scam. Stopped going for mammograms over 15 years ago. Every year you go for your mammogram, you're increasing your chances of getting breast cancer. That's a fact. Also, many Americans are very deficient in Vit D3, so must have your Vit D levels checked and start taking this much needed supplement, especially if you're elderly.
My naturopath had me do a huge urine test instead of bloodwork. It showed my T3 was low. Endocrinologist barked that he can’t go by urine tests. He tested my blood every quarter. 6 months later another blood test showed, low and behold, low T3. I reminded him I told him that months ago 😆 I never went back to him.

You are a woman after my own heart!! Just 68 but avoid mainstream medicine like the plague. (Pun intended!)

Bingo !
