Ideas. Hope. New directions. We need those. Because there is still too much suffering and not enough success in ending it.
BUT...we cannot take anything at face value, not even from a scientist. We have to dig ourselves and make our own decisions.
What someone else says is merely a starting point. It can be either refuted or confirmed by the patient in question. It's their body, their life, and their responsibility to do what they feel is best for them.
But we need ideas to get that started.
Why do we need ideas? Because it seems apparent we are nowhere close to having answers as things currently are. There is more wisdom out there for us to find and use. Whatever is in the books right now, is but a smidgen of what is not yet in the books.
In your chosen lifestyle, science is where you go to get your ideas. Cool. That works. In my chosen lifestyle, I go to the streets figuratively speaking, for ideas. I don't want to know, for example, the limited box of how CDC treats lyme as the only thing in my toolbox. No. I want to know, what do other lyme patients who have been failed by CDC have to say? What is not mentioned in medical books but is widely successful in actual practice? That's where I go for ideas.
My best stuff has come from my actual MD physicians that have worked on me. Massive gold treasure of wisdom in those guys, stuff that isn't generally found in establishment offices or books. But their ideas carry extra weight for me, because they are working in real time with real people, despite no satisfactory explanation in the medical world of why. The pioneering stuff of today, is on the front page of a science journal 10 years from now. I aint waiting! It's already here. I've seen it with my own eyes. I try to share what I have seen because it can be glorious to those who receive it. But some don't want it for whatever reason. That's fine. Ideas and opinions and observations can be embraced or disposed as anyone sees fit in their own life.
One of the MDs where I get some of the best stuff from, is so friggin good and has so much success with his patients, you don't want to see him! Why? Because the waiting list to get your first appointment with him is 9 months! That is one good doctor. Every time you slam my ideas, you are actually slamming him. I think you really should give him the respect he has earned, set your rejections aside for a moment, and open the eyes to more healing strategies.
Medicine, they try to make it a science. I believe that is dangerous for the patient. As in my case. Half my life gone into a dark depression because someone didn't get the diagnosis right. I do not see it as a science. It is an art. HEALING ART. Science helps shape the art, but science alone has too many holes and lag time. Too much suffering.
We not only need ideas and opinions, but we need ones that are actually working on the streets of america. Those are what I bring here. But because it is outside the box of typical ways of thinking at pbabble, it could be viewed as bogus, I understand that, it's part of the game, nothing new, even the guy who first claimed ulcers were bacteria not stress was ridiculed to no end.
My views anyway. Glad to share. If you don't agree, there is a trash can nearby, toss it. No ego here whatsoever. Take an idea and use it to your benefit, cool. Take an idea and decide it's not for you, cool. The point is.....ideas to work with.
Ideas. Opinions. Hope. Faith. Confirm. Verify. Support. Educate.
All good stuff and I see no irony in there unless someone purposely imposes it out of rejection.
