We Just Aren't Getting The Right Information!!

I’m a nurse. I’ve been one for 48 years. It wasn’t until 30 years ago that I started questioning the information that was given patients.

Nursing is one of the most trusted professions in America, and those of us who speak out against the following current medical practices are looking out for your best interests.

Someone help me out…

Why don’t doctors tell you to give your child magnesium or lemon water instead of MiraLAX (which isn’t for children under 17 and can cause neuropsychiatric problems)?

Why don’t doctors hand out info on dietary changes and give you the alkaline water recipe when you have heartburn and indigestion instead of giving you Prilosec (which causes ‘acid rebound’, drug dependence, osteoporosis, and magnesium deficiency)?

Why are BLACK BOX antibiotics like Cipro and Levaquin (nearly every generic ending in “quin”) still prescribed routinely for sinus and bladder infections when there are alternatives? (which can cause tendon rupture, acute liver damage, serious nervous system damage/neurotoxicity AFTER JUST ONE DOSE).

Why don’t doctors today give you a list of the top cancer-preventative foods to eat so that you’re less likely to have a future cancer diagnosis?

Why don’t doctors tell you about herbs and spices that can also handle inflammation, infections and colds and flu (like turmeric or usnea or fermented garlic in raw honey).

Why don’t doctors inform about the Black Box Warning for Synthroid (Levothyroxine) for hypothyroidism? Synthroid use leads to development of dementia but is still the number one brand-name drug in terms of number of prescriptions written by physicians. (while natural desiccated thyroid has been safely used for more than 100 years).

Why don’t doctors tell you to lower/remove toxic chemicals in your home when you have constant headaches and allergies? (manmade fragrances and chemicals cause toxic buildup in humans that make us sick).

Why aren’t you informed by your doctor that if you eat half a grapefruit every day, it will regulate your cholesterol and B/P naturally, and you likely won’t need statin meds? (this is why patients are told not to eat it while on statins). Pomegranate juice does also.

Sadly, many pediatricians insist your baby get this early childhood vaccine that the CDC clearly states, “About 3,400 babies in the United States die suddenly and unexpectedly each year.” Either they aren’t aware or are in it for the serious monetary kickbacks. (to which Japan and Sweden said “NO!”)

Why don’t doctors tell you about inexpensive preventative supplements like N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) when you have respiratory trouble (instead of waiting for you to have to go to the hospital?)

Why aren’t pregnant women given all the facts about off-label use of Pitocin? (which forces your body to expel a baby and more than doubles the risk of emergency Caesarean, compared with natural (unforced) labor. It’s definitely time to stop blindly trusting and seriously research everything!).

Why isn’t your doctor suggesting that you take a probiotic daily? (a healthy microbiome controls bad bacteria, repairs gut lining, helps absorption, and makes vitamins).

Why don’t doctors teach you that unhealthy emotions stored in your physical body can cause mental anguish? Instead they quickly prescribe psychiatric meds. (Emotions and stress play a very significant role in our total health. Without tools to help navigate our emotions we can easily become physically ill.)

Why do they set up these protocols of pills that most of them wouldn’t even take themselves?

Why isn’t more time given to preventative health care?

Why do many cram in 40 or more patients a day instead of 20?

This needs to change. Information is key. Healing is real and possible!

We just aren’t getting the right information!!

Of course, there are many doctors whose prime concern is their patients and give life-saving information.

I encourage you to “think out of the box”. Can we/you AFFORD not to seek the best care?

Locate a functional medicine doctor or naturopathic doctor that will care for you as a WHOLE person!
