While, without a shadow of a doubt, it is vital to ensure doctors are prescribing properly and diligently (resistance is a serious problem which in theory is easily tackled at prescribing level), most infections cannot be allowed to go unchecked.<br /><br /> The principle of watch and wait rarely applies to infective processes, particularly bacterial ones. In the healthy, many infections will be eradicated, albeit over a longer period, granted. There's a caveat though. Even if we don't take into account the time lost in waiting for self-healing, long lasting damage can be done if infections are allowed to run their natural course.<br /><br />A very apt principle for chronic disease in general, and I agree with you, but we can't throw caution to the wind and blanket all of medicine.<br /><br />Keep up the excellent blogposts!Pawluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586219113371977795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519234397783312626.post-69434613356104566692010-02-16T17:27:17.386-05:002010-02-16T17:27:17.386-05:00Good post, Marya - thank you -

So i...Thank you for starting this discussion Marya. So important. I recently discovered that I have intestinal parasites and my doctor prescribed antibiotics and some other strong anti-parasite medicine. I first went on google and searched the parasite and treatments and found out that I didnt really need such strong medicines for this. <br /><br />My next goal was to find an integrative health doctor who would know how to deal with parasites while keeping my whole body in perspective. I found some who gave me an appointment for March, but I needed to know now if I need to do something because I was feeling fatigued and needed to take the "right" action right away. While searching for a holistic doctor I went to my friend Verena Smith who gave me Dr. Clarkia to treat the parasites, which my body felt good taking.<br /><br />But my search was on and soon enough my friend Deb Waldron referred me to Dr. Hesse with whom I got an immediate appointment. After spending 2 hours with me he gave me some natural remedies to compliment Dr. Clarkia in treating my body. I am feeling so much better already, within 1 week of his medications and his approach which is taking into account mind, body, and spirit.<br /><br />I like your mindful approach to medicine. I did not rush in but listened to my body, took what I needed and discarded what I did not and found the right people to support me in my journey defined by mindful living.Shalinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315972689241080339noreply@blogger.com
