I was mildly skeptical of certain medical practices before all this. But still saw doctors, hospitals, and modern medicine as a net positive.

The last two years have killed every last particle of faith I had in mainstream medicine. I'd have to think really hard about going to the ER even for broken bones, at this point.

How does one do a proper physical examination over the phone?

Jen's avatar

homeopaths don't do physical exams in the medical sense. they would ask all sorts of questions like "what makes it better?" "what color is your snot?" "what flavor is your snot?" etc. but i agree - i only take on telehelath clients in very special circumstances, and very reluctantly. health care should depend on local resources and be delivered in-person; sadly, people with chronic conditions (most of my own clientele) need a lot of non-local support (generally in the form of nutraceuticals).

My homeopath of 40 years has never done a consult with me that took less than 1.5 hours. It's not 'psychotherapy', it's the recognition that our personal terrain (physical/emotional circumstances), our attitude and state of mind and our bodies are all interlinked.

If you have the ability to discern a lack of respectability, why don't use that discernment and the mind that enabled it to educate and doctor yourself?

A few good books on the subject are all you need for a medical library.

I highly recommend Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox: How a Little-Known Vitamin Could Save Your Life by Kate Rheaume-Bleue and the writings of the late Dr. William D. Kelley, D.D.S., M.S., which are available from drkelley.net

The only thing you need from a respectable medic is ordering procedures and tests that you have convinced them are indicated and/or efficacious. Mine had no problem adding a 25(OH)D and hs-CRP to the CBC and metabolic panels he runs on me every year as a part of my Medicare physical. He doesn't really think much of vitamin D3, but he was very impressed with my consistent .4 on the hs-CRP three years running, which assures both of us that I don't have any significant inflammatory issues.

What’s interesting about holistic medicine is that is definitely doesn’t work like pharmaceuticals. Take honey for instance. I raise bees and my family hasn’t had allergies for 7 years. It didn’t work right away but over time we have all become immune to pollens because of the honey. A lot of vitamins don’t work right away but over time you have less brain fog or less pain moving around etc. like cats claw is amazing for joint discomfort, but it doesn’t work like motrin within 2 hours. Anyway, I hope you look into it!🥰

I live in a small town, but over the last 20 years I've watched independent doctors be more or less forced to join various medical corporations. I long ago found a husband-wife doctor team who operate their own family medicine office, and they are totally independent. They are religious (Catholic, I think) and wanted to practice medicine according to their faith and without a corporate overlord telling them what to do. They never pushed me to get a covid vaccine and seemed to understand why my family and I refused it. They also said they would be happy to give a prescription for Ivermectin if I wanted it, although they were unsure any local pharmacy would fill it (I found out an independent compounding pharmacy would be happy to fill it!). I'm very grateful and lucky to have such great doctors, but I do see they are less common these days.

A very good point. This is what my former physician's office (affiliated with a large hospital system) advises about the covid vaccines, straight from their website's FAQ section. "The Pfizer vaccine and the Moderna vaccine use mRNA to instruct the cells in your body to make a harmless piece of the “spike protein” found on the surface of COVID-19. Your immune system is tricked into thinking this is a virus and makes antibodies. A live virus is not included in the vaccine. Your body destroys the mRNA and gets rid of it. It doesn’t stay in your body or alter any DNA. The other ingredients in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are salt, sugar, and fat."

Thanks. I became aware of that site a few months ago. Do you think it is intentional, for nefarious reasons? I have thought that, IF, this is part of a depopulation plan, they couldn't have every single person falling over dead soon after vaccination. If a lot of people seem to be fine, then they can be told side effects are rare and people will continue to get the shots.

Pfizer own clinical trials showed varying dosages being tested (as we are still in phase 3 trials until Mar 2023), including a placebo. There's absolutely no question they are dosing batches differently. They've even pegged the coordination between Pfizer and Moderna to release and distribute "bad" batches at different times/locations, ie, as Pfizer deaths wind down in one area, Moderna deaths will start to rise in another area.

That entire statement is nothing more than a hope and some of it flat out proven wrong long ago and the rest intentionally misleading. First of all, supposedly the engineered spike code lacks an infective ability, cannot bind to ace2 but I’ve read the code includes extra uracil as binders which might, through inflexibility, incapacitate for binding … but … unintentionally (?) also may shield against polymerase breakdown which could cause these molecules to NOT be “immediately destroyed”. The truth is WE DONT KNOW. Secondly sars cov2 spike protein is quite cytotoxic as a fragment, no nucleocapsid necessary. Thirdly, fat and sugar are nutritive, we do not describe injection fillers this way … unspeakable bull****. They flat out think we are morons.

I have multiple medical issues so unfortunately, I have a LOT of doctors. I have two allergists including a mast cell specialist, two gastroenterologists, two neurologists…I could go on. I also worked in nursing before my health caused me to “retire” early. So suffice it to say, I came into this with a pretty good working knowledge of the system as a whole and how to discern doctors bad or biased attitudes from the get go. I knew how to advocate for myself and was pretty guarded but believed my doctors at least cared about my personal case and health as a whole. I definitely don’t believe that about most of them now because of what I’ve been through with them. The majority have shown they are just bureaucratic hags and care more about policy than patient and I adjust my conversations accordingly depending on whom I’m seeing. It’s been such an eye opener and shame because some of these doctors I’ve been with for over 15 years and my primary care was actually my coworker for almost that long as well. Their “groupthink” has now only made me 10x more educated and more guarded about my care. Obviously I’m only human and I’m dealing with a lot but, I try not to let them get anything past me or manipulate me about anything. I’ve called my specialists out on their lies, one doctor literally told me because I wasn’t jabbed, if I caught COVID, there was nothing that could be done for me…despite the fact that monoclonal antibodies were abundant at that time. Yeah, I didn’t let that one go that day. No one brings the jab up anymore but, during earlier days I used to go prepared to each appointment with a binder of evidence and my particular talking points for why I’m not getting the shot incase they tried to divert topic of appointment. I shouldn’t have had to do this, I’m a patient who has anaphylaxis that has reacted to past vaccines, that should have been enough for them to accept no as an acceptable answer but, I just always went ready. I always bring notes to my appointments, I need them to remember what I want to talk about that day but I find that referring to them keeps doctor on topic too.

This is a bit of a loaded question. I was born with a genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) for which there is no “cure”. However, for me, this treatment is more physical therapy approaches and avoidance behaviors. I don’t even have an EDS specialist because frankly, one doesn’t exist. I have Dysautonomia/POTS which is very common to develop in those with EDS as it damages nerves and autonomic system. That damage unfortunately is permanent. I also have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, again very common in those with EDS/POTS, and I also have Crohn’s disease. People like to use the word “cure” in disorders that will never go away but for the grace of God, but for which remission is definitely a more appropriate word and able to be achieved. It isn’t always achieved unfortunately but, you just keep working at it. I work more towards dealing with the root causes of my symptoms, food intolerances, chemicals, toxins, etc., not exposing myself to things that will flare my symptoms/disorders. The best I have been able to do is make sure my doctors understand that this is a two way street, they do not run the show and dictate what and or how I decide to treat things. I’ve been extremely disappointed with their COVID group think and lapse in help they’ve been for a mask related injury I had (long story), that’s where they are policy over patient but, for my disorders I’ve done mostly ok with my team on leading my care and working together for the most part as a team.

Satan's Doorknob's avatar

To me, a frightening aspect is that -- except for Big Pharma, most of the staff are NOT in it for the money. I'm on three "primary prevention" medications, all generic. Nobody's making a mint off my statin, hypertension med, or the baby aspirin. The Covid-19 (EUA) products without exception, are paid directly by the government. Although sky-high drug prices are an issue, the worst problem in my opinion are the incentives and mandates influencing doctors. For example, Doc probably gets some type of incentive pay to keep Old Doorknob on the primary prevention "recommended" from CDC/WHO/FDA/etc. But those "suggestions" are often mandates, and Doc risks discipline, dismissal or even civil and criminal penalties. In many cases, what our medical care now consists of are decisions made by a committee far away that will affect thousands or millions, and underling doctors have little autonomy but instead feel forced to follow those "guidelines."

Julia C's avatar

Ok but, let’s go with the vaccines, the problem is that physicians do get incentives from health insurance plans for giving shots. “Efficiency bonus” or “quality of care” bonus. If they get a certain percentage of their patients vaccinated, they get a bonus. I can remember the doctors in my office having contests to see who could rack up the most flu shots in a season. We nurses used to keep count. There was an article where a pediatrician tried to downplay these bonuses as a nothing burger because he said, insurance companies wouldn’t offer incentives to boost numbers of something that would hurt the well-being of children when they are the ones not only footing the bill for the vaccine in the first place, but would also have to foot the bill if the child became vaccine injured. That wouldn’t make sense they said. So, it’s not a conflict of interest, they’re saving lives they said. Ah….but they are footing the bill! They just aren’t calling them or admitting they are vaccine injuries. How many children are developing Crohn’s and POTS and ME/CFS and food allergies and countless other autoimmune and chronic issues that they now require long term care for that they will never tie to their vaccine protocol? I shudder to think. The COVID shots, now that the cost has been rolled over to insurance plans, will have these same bonuses however, I would not be surprised that even when the government alone was paying for them, insurance companies made an actuarial decision that they would potentially lower their costs so substantially (you know, from the winter of death and despair or whatever Biden promised the unjabbed) that they gave doctors bonuses for giving them. Physicians also do still get biased by drug companies to prescribe their meds. It had slowed down to the drug lunch/dinner by the time I left the office but, an article in 2020 said that for every $1 spent on a doctor, they got a $2.64 back in revenue for a 164% return in investment. In years past when they were actually buying doctors football game tickets and taking them out on the town so to speak, this number was a 200-1700% return. So it may only be a free meal, but when you rack up those free meals it’s still like getting a bonus. I used to love Panera and Olive Garden days. All they have to do is prescribe Lipitor and check no substitute permitted. I think that is happening way less now though. Too many consumers are aware of cost saving generics now and insurances have gotten a lot more staunch with their preferred drug lists. Yes, doctors also have specific guidelines they are told by their state to follow. Here in Maine we had the 5210 program for kids with posters all over the walls and gave each well child a free book. You’re not wrong about the premise that decisions are lots of times made for us by committees, boards, etc. looking at us as a collective rather than what is best for us as an individual patient. I have a problem when the doctors are so indoctrinated or set in following a policy that they will actually harm a patient or blatantly do what’s not in their best interest just to save their license or reputation etc. What’s the point of being a doctor then?

Contemporary. Still remember that moment back in the '80s when I "just happened" ;) to be listening to that mid afternoon radio talk show. The guest noted, "It's *expensive* to stay healthy! But it's a hell of a lot *more* expensive to get sick."

Instant conversion, like the road to Damascus.

The extra expense feeding health in many ways over the course of nearly 40 years has been so worth it.

And now's where I really start to sound alternatively anecdotey. Fractured a wrist (first broken bone ever) about a decade ago. Skipped the ER, it was a Sunday. Knew the only thing they could offer for the simple fracture was an x-ray, immobilization and medication for pain and possibly anti inflammatory. Let me tell you, too, the pain-o-meter was at least 8/10. I applied #2 above, skipped #3 and applied pranic healing (somehow, through waves of nausea due to pain). Couldn't get squeezed in to orthopedic office schedule til Tues. Saw a PA because the MD surgeon didn't have space on his schedule. Looking at films PA said, this is going to need surgery. Applied hard cast, scheduled to see MD a week later. Pranic healing applied daily - through a network of healers. A week later, MD has a look at 1 week old films and films from 20 minutes earlier and says, Yeah we'll have to do surgery but I'm booked at least two weeks out. New hard cast, office visit scheduled in a week, pranic healing continued to be applied daily in the interim. New films at next visit (now 16 days from date of injury) and MD says, Well I'm not jumping out of my shorts to do surgery. !! Projected 6-8 weeks in a cast plus a year of rehab. Short story, with first daily pranic healing, then 4-5x/wk for about 3 weeks, then diminishing frequency, no surgery needed, I was out of a cast in a total of 5 weeks, back to 90-95% full function in ~8 months.

The Creator has given us gifts we have only begun to discover. So much information suppressed for millennia. Even Yeoshoua the Nazarene said (imperfect translation) All these things I do, you shall do and more.

I get it. But... every time my dad's been hospitalized for trauma (a lot!), mom's had to go with him, sleep in his room, and basically act as as his bodyguard, because every dang time, doc looks at his chart, sees his medication history, calls the neurologist, and tries to put him back on seizure meds that he hasn't taken in decades (he no longer has seizures). Those meds are dangerous, highly addictive, he doesn't need them, and the side effects are so awful he'd rather die than take them again. And the docs DO NOT LISTEN and do not respect his wishes. Over the years, we've had to drag in our pastor, a TV station friend, and a lawyer, to keep the med-pushers at bay.

So, yeah, he needed major surgery and the hospital was the only place to get it-- but we had to defend him from unnecessary interventions the whole time, and then spend months fighting the resulting billing fraud (where they bill us anyway for treatments he refused, doctors he didn't see, private rooms he didn't get-- it feels vengeful rather than merely incompetent).

Hospitals need to lose their monopoly power. They use the "we're the only people who can do an emergency appendectomy or save you after a car accident" thing to justify so much of the evil they do. It's a hostage situation at this point. They need to be stripped down to where trauma is the *only* thing they do, because everything else is covered by small inpatient facilities all over the place. Maternity hospitals are still a thing in other parts of the world. They're safer than regular hospitals, and more pleasant. No reason we couldn't have a small, friendly, 10-bed hospital in every neighborhood, that could deal with your appendix, your gallbladder, your pancreatitis, that electrolyte imbalance...

Sadly, if you call that competent.

It it weren't competent, it wouldn't be medicine's highest competency.

Surgical reconstruction of the human body is something no other medical specialty could accomplish.
