The internet has a lot of stuff on it, the good and bad thats for sure, its a matter of sifting through the crap and finding what you consider solid information in your eyes.
I have been following Doug Kaufmann on a few things and he has just put out a new blog on a Super Bug, you can read this on his website https://knowthecause.com/ just search for Latest Super Bug is a Killer Fungus. I will get a little more into Doug under ‘My Training Experiment’ in my About page when I write it up
Looking at this article, plus others, and having a think by looking from the outside in, I have come up with the following:
A doctor is there to help as best they can and can only base their assessment on what you tell them, understanding your history is important and could have an impact on that assessment. As an example, if you eat something different than usual and in a day or two break out in a rash and go to the doctor, would you have brought that up in your consultation. On the other side, would the doctor pry that information out of you by talking history or just give you a drug/antibiotic to get you out the door ready for the next one
What I have done previously and still do, I look back at my history to get an understanding on a possible cause, (my Spinal Canal Stenosis really opened my eyes up, thats another story to tell), make my own diagnosis then go to the doctor armed with that information. If they go for the drug/antibiotic pathway, I question this to what options there are in a more natural pathway, of course this is dependant on there knowledge in this area. There maybe no other option than the use of drugs/antibiotics but does that mean you stay on them, there initial use could be to control at first then under guidance, start to go to a natural pathway.
Bottom line, talk with the doctor, question, seek out what other options there are than drugs/antibiotics, its your body
