LEADING EXPERTS on herbal & natural remedies

Leading EXPERTS on herbal & natural remedies. For instance I was just reading about licorice being good to reduce water retention & better than antacid at neutralizing stomach acids so good, too, at curbing appetite as well. Even Hippocrates was intrigued by licorice.

I know LOTS of folks are stopping medications when see commercials about HORRIBLE side effects of medications. Neighbor behind us lost sense of taste from taking anti-fungal medication, recently. {So GLAD y'all suggest contacting pharmacist about concerns like I do. Pharmacist told me that pharmacists are HAPPY to help persons avoid serious complications continuing medications person having adverse reaction to.}

A LOT of folks are mad at not being told until AFTER occurs about possible adverse effects worse than original problem medications prescribed for. I hope EXAMPLE: I hope all doctors will consider possible ototoxicity of medications like or containing aspirin as my undiagnosed cause of vertigo was a baby aspirin a day for 54 days. Vertigo is debilitating and wouldn't wish on anyone and SO glad I made aspirin connection culprit thanks to experts ONLINE.

Following my FEB 3, 2002, ototoxic reaction to aspirin once determined about 3 weeks later, I alerted Rush Libaugh his ear problems could be aspirin if he took daily too as so many do. However, his ototoxicity was from narcotics abuse though my email could be why he investigated although could have contained aspirin as many do. JAMA article info fudged by Merck to woman doctor doing article about VIOXX is WHY doctor suggested VIOXX to my mom & article WHY mother took for leg pain & VIOXX killed my mother.

Not to mention over use of headache remedies can cause rebound headaches. Myself, until beginning a baby aspirin a day to ward off heart attack, stroke & colon cancer January 2002, I ONLY took less than ten headache type medications a year. There still is NOTHING I take every day besides I try to have teaspoon of honey a day now for digestion.

Once a doctor's assistant was giving me samples to take of LAMISIL for a HUGE ringworm on hand, he first thought cancer since so large, from a kitten someone showed me. Assistant said "I think doctor meant take one packet of 4 a day." Called pharmacist since had a bad feeling and he said HIGHLY toxic to liver & dose was one a day not four yet, if him, he wouldn't take ANY since "so toxic to liver".

Not to get sidetracked though: When I lost my insurance when my Green Beret Medic veteran husband was laid off in 1996, a physician assistant told me most things will resolve on own. So my new insurance plan since then is prayer and grinning and bearing it such as when had intestinal bleeding month or so ago. Remembered honey had anti-bacterial & healing properties from an THE DOCTORS episode so began honey about day five of bleeding AND STOPPED. Mouth ulcer type pain in lower left colon & around naval stopped as well as bleeding. I've read as well that Agave has antibacterial properties too very similar to honey w/o strong honey altering taste.

I cannot thank y'all ENOUGH that by the GRACE OF GOD my seeing show on honey. So since I've read a lot of the herbal & natural remedies are becoming a lost art I want y'all to find & consolidate into an easy to access format like on your show. Maybe 50 of the most common ailments some have said natural remedies help & which one. The fact of the matter that even though idealistically folks should go to the doctor with all their medical, dental & visual concerns. Forty-five million of those uninsured like myself grin and bear it.

Oh, thanks too for not only HONEY info and Sweet Potato as when I had SEVERE muscle spasms behind left eye & back taking generic of Bactrim DS for a lingering cough WINTER 2010 & lost vision enough has now returned to drive again after eating about ten HUGE sweet potatoes at Texas Land & Cattle aka TXLC. I guess bactrim taxes nutrients that Sweet Potatoes replenish. IDK just worked THANK GOD yet I didn't know would until did. Again, my insurance plan is grinning and bearing it on a wing and a prayer, lots of prayer.

That's why it is my hope, my prayer, my dream and my wish to have a medical, dental & visual makeover on THE DOCTORS since BOTH I need & trust y'all. Would like 2nd opinion on Green Beret Medic veteran Lynn's tumor behind ear by Dr. Ordon, too, along with visual and dental care for him too. Until then, prayer and grinning and bearing it is my insurance plan. So does Lynn grin and bear it on things not covered by Veterans Hospital like dental & visual care.

Sure tried and true medications y'all would use I trust THE DOCTORS seal of approval. However, lets not lose the art of herbal and natural remedies so, again, THANK YOU for show on honey as my intestinal bleeding & pain stopped since I began using honey. It was SO scary... Oh, and sweet potatoes. Psychology is the study of individuals yet even in medicine each individual can have a different reaction to medications and even foods... like I'm allergic to pineapple and aspirin yet everyone isn't. My mother couldn't eat strawberries and I could. ALL things in life aren't all one size fits all except for THE GOLDEN RULE.

THE DOCTORS SEAL OF APPROVAL means everything to me and is spreading across cyber space & the world & is GREATLY appreciated by me an ever growing... MANY! THANKS Y'ALL! That's why STILL my hope, my dream & my prayer is a medical, dental & visual makeover on THE DOCTORS.
