1. On any given day, I get more information, feedback, empathy, tough love, reciprocity, no-nonsense direction and general knowledge than I did in TWELVE YEARS of visiting doctors. That's on any given single day. I'm not embroidering this for effect people. I learn so much on here every day, and it's info that I can use immediately.2. Everyone on here helps each other. Doctors never seemed too concerned. I actually got a little confrontational with a couple doctors because I was just so flabbergasted by their lack of concern and dismissive air. So the choice is pay for more frustration or embrace like-minded individuals for free? No contest. I'm DONE with the establishment.3. NO ONE here has a reason to lie to you. There are no motivations or commissions. I always consider advice more sage when it comes from someone who's actually walked the mile I'm just starting, as opposed to a white coat who hasn't. A white coat who has a motive to lie. (and not just motive , but pressure from lobbyists)4. 12 years of doctors did nothing to heal me...maybe a little here and there, but in the end, I wound up worse than when I started. A matter of weeks following the forums and increasing my raw intake and then starting a banana mono diet to heal=RESULTS. Results that fast? Are you kidding me? After 12 years of anger and emotional and physical torture? C'mon...there's no flipping contest at this point is there? How could there be...5. And finally, the Fricken' Dumb Arses: The FDA. The FDA has no jurisdiction over what we say here. We're not selling anything and we're not publishing anything. All info on here is quite literally RAW info. Try getting that kind of free information on the back of a store product. Most natural healing books are aggressively controlled in the U.S. and don't see publishing unless they "modify" their "claims". According to the FDA, only a "drug" (which is defined at their discretion/financially motivated whim) can cure a disease, or DIS-EASE. LACK OF EASE. Is this insane? A doctor never told me what heals. Even good-minded practitioners and merchants are prohibited from telling you because the FDA systematically shuts them down and fines them (?) if they say their natural product cures cancer, etc. It doesn't matter how much is out there...they'll cover it up, silence you, spin it as "quackery" and claim only their $850 million DRUG can fix you. But we can tell you, you can tell us, we can tell each other. * for the record, any FDA references prolly only apply for those in the US, as the Food and Drug Administration is national*I wanted to go for more but those were the most important for me...what are the most important for you...you can leave where I left off;)

  • Awesome Crabs :-) Harls will love this post!
    Yes its very true....we are being sold a bunch of lies...although the common GP is only working with their current level of awareness and unfortunately its a pretty low level....then again they do have a high level of awareness when it comes to prescribing drugs.... I feel a lot of the doc's seem to be less healthy than the general population & its sad to see because they are in a position of authority.....'oh u want me to take these drugs??Yes doc, ok you know best...'we are so used to being told what to think, to say, to feel, how to behave....there are literally signs everywhere telling us what to do....'Keep left,watch your step, take only as directed etc'.....we are conditioned to stay in our boxes & be fed what we're told or else what could happen?!?!....We love certainty... & fear is a brilliant motivator...

    Its so great you feel supported here and everything you said about the advice is true and I feel its from everyones heart, we have a common goal....to be well...no to thrive!!!!!!!
    lovefreeeeeeeeee
  • this is the truth, but remember discretion should always be advise ;)

    *in all seriousness though* we don't want to be chomping on bulbs of garlic to "CURE" our "common cold".
