I tested (14Agu2002) high for triglicerides. On the test results that the doctor sent me for review, he wrote "may need meds." MedicalOrthodoxy is: poke, prod, and test, then cut open or inject drugs. Consumers buy into this because they like to have pills to fix what's wrong with them. They don't like the idea that they've been abusing their body and they really should stop. Sure enough, a google search yields Nutritional Triglyceride Reduction . Before I buy any "meds," I'm going to ask the doctor if he's considered nutritional alternatives.
Hmm... perhaps they're not all bad... Dr. K seems to be doing well with my BustedFinger.
More to tell...
- Most headaches are caused by dehydration; so when you take an asprin, it's the water that relieves the symptoms, as likely as not.
- chiropractic; why is it frowned upon? it's so cheap and effective! The insurance companies are at least starting to admit this.
- Five Patients: The Hospital Explained by Michael Crichton. discusses health care costs frankly.
- working in a health-food store in high school... reading about people curing themselves of cancer by fasting.
