Angela Rodriguez2, I’m done arguing with you!

This isn't supposed to be your personal soapbox for recruiting people to buy into whatever you believe in. 😲

Doctors held liable for patient's death in Health ·
From what I can gather, they didn't even have a defibrillator on hand. That’s a massive failure. A decent one runs about $6667, and you ABSOLUTELY need one available—even if it’s rarely used during these kinds of procedures.

They claimed she went into fibrillation and the anesthesiologist tried manual resuscitation before calling 911, which arrived in 15 minutes—too little, too late. They didn't need a squad of ER doctors; they needed a defibrillator!!!

Angela Rodriguez2 said:Come on, stop talking nonsense—if I have to put it that way—are you actually suggesting Type 2 diabetes only affects overweight people? 😍

I have a close friend who doesn't have an ounce of extra weight on her—former college athlete, always watched her diet and health like a hawk—but despite all that, she was hit with Type 2 "overnight" (read: because of pure STRESS). Her trigger was the sudden shock of infidelity and a divorce her body just wasn't ready for... 😢

If you consider yourself some kind of doctor, then I’m genuinely curious what you actually know about nutrition and its impact on health... especially since medical school today doesn't even offer a single course where you can learn anything meaningful about it. Based on your "misunderstanding" of these issues, I can only assume you haven't spent much of your "free time" actually trying to learn something. 😉

Try reading a book on prevention for once instead of posting garbage here. 😁

ps: I try to explain my "explanations" in a way any regular person can understand... whereas your "expert dissertations" aren't even understood by yourselves. 😉


I'll believe you if you have peer-reviewed papers backing up your claims—and I mean actual published studies—otherwise, you're just full of it and selling snake oil.

And as for Type 2 diabetes, man, you've got it completely wrong. Last time I checked, insulin-independent DM or Type 2 DM is caused by obesity reducing tissue sensitivity to insulin, which leads to hyperglycemia alongside hyperinsulinemia.
Honestly, why should I bother explaining this to you when you clearly can't grasp it? Your entire understanding of medicine seems limited to phrases like "internal bodily reaction to stress" or "unprepared body"... and similar fluff.
We actually had two courses that covered nutrition extensively—physiology and biochemistry—so that's how I know. I remember quite a bit, and I always keep Guyton handy whenever something slips my mind.

Angela Rodriguez2 said:"just some Apaurin, some minerals, vitamins, and you'll be fine" .. 😍

Stress and getting worked up triggers all sorts of bodily reactions—basically, your system goes into overdrive and burns through whatever vitamins and minerals you have left in the tank. The real trouble starts if your levels are already bottoming out; that's when things go south fast. It hits the stomach hard, and I've even seen cases where people develop diabetes or psoriasis "overnight"—meaning right after a massive stress event. The takeaway? You need to take vitamins and minerals PREVENTATIVELY. That way, when life hits the fan, you aren't running on empty, which helps prevent those negative physiological shifts that turn into actual health problems. As for medication—in this context—trying to force a balance can often do more harm than good. I think most people realize that now (it's a necessary evil, I guess).

Bottom line: a healthy, balanced diet is huge. It probably accounts for about 70% of the health issues we see today. 👍


Angela Rodriguez2, what exactly do you think you know about vitamins and minerals? I'd bet you don't have a clue.
And uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, you don't just get diabetes overnight. Type 1 happens because there have been antibodies attacking beta cells for at least five years. Type 2 comes from obesity—insulin resistance builds up over years. It has nothing to do with minerals. Honestly, the story you're spinning is fascinating; someone rude enough might actually believe you.... 😠

Bravo Jamie Clark74! Honestly, you hit the nail on the head. 👍
It drives me crazy too—all those merchants, snake oil salesmen, and "healthy lifestyle" crusaders peddling fake hope, trying to convince people that drinking aloe vera is going to cure cancer or Type 1 diabetes. 😈

And Jose Miller3, thanks for everything you've done as a moderator. 👍

William: 35 years of fighting diseases, medications, and therapies in Health ·
First off, congrats on the massive thread! 👍
Look, I really didn't mean to offend you by asking if you'd considered electrostimulation therapy. It was a logical question—you mentioned that twenty different antidepressants haven't done the trick, so I suggested something significantly more effective. I wasn't talking about electroconvulsive therapy, "electric shocks," or anything like that... I used the term currently used in modern psychiatry for a globally recognized method. I know what I’m talking about—I've seen how it's done. I also realize that even mentioning it might trigger some grim memories of old-school, outdated medical practices from back in the day.
Here’s the reality of it: they put the patient under general anesthesia (with an anesthesiologist present the whole time), give them muscle relaxants, place a bite block in their mouth, attach the electrodes, run the current, and that's it. Done. The person wakes up and goes home. The only visible sign is a slight facial muscle spasm.
Electroconvulsive therapy helps stimulate certain neurotransmitters while reducing others, which works wonders for depression and such. (I don't know the exact molecular mechanism down to the fine details 😁 — that's just what they taught us in psych class)
Depression is a nasty business, and none of us are immune to a bout of minor depression... but if you're struggling this hard and you've cycled through twenty different meds—each with its own set of side effects—why not look into this?
Besides, I've talked to people who have gone through it, and they’re incredibly happy because they finally broke free from the funk. Electrostimulation is usually the last resort when everything else fails and nothing else is working; it's not the first thing they try. But for some, it can lead to remission lasting as long as ten years. If you don't believe me, check out this link http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/symptoms-causes/syc-20356007

If twenty different meds haven't done the trick, have you even considered ECT?

Now you've all found each other just to complain together—it’s just the usual temperature swings you get during the day. If you're healthy, get out there and enjoy yourselves. 🎉 Unfortunately, I actually caught something, so I'm stuck inside, which means I'm 😢

Just hit up Google, type in IBS, and click the third link—look for one of those support groups.
IBS stands for Irritable Bowel syndrome.

Come on, please reread that.
If you’re talking about Prof. Kusic, the oncologist—I know who he is, I think he's even an academician.

bluebadger24 said:What even is the question here? You said people die from papillary carcinoma... what exactly did you mean by that? If you could spare just one sentence...
Well, I got switched at the pharmacy when I was looking for a different brand—one they were raving about in Health News, recommended by some professor from some university, who happens to be my pharmacist's mentor or whatever, blah blah blah... The first one wasn't available, and apparently, the inventor wouldn't "certify" it, so they pulled it from the market. ¤

I was being clear: people die *with* papillary carcinoma, not *from* it. Basically, it shows up in a tiny percentage of autopsies where people lived with it for years while it metastasized without ever causing issues—meaning they died of something else, and they just happened to have papillary thyroid cancer sitting there too. Get it? Is that how you say it? My Italian isn't exactly great.🙂

'A brand—don't know which
from some professor—don't know from which university etc., blah blah blah, and then they pulled it...' 👍
Is that your special little brand that cures metastases?
And what other metastases do you have? You don't just "watch" metastases; you treat them aggressively—you clearly misunderstood how this works. Now I'll probably get blamed again for spreading panic.

Thyroid issues in Health ·
Hey, Scott Allen10! Thanks for not having my back. I was just trying to talk Jozica into actually getting proper medical treatment. Not sure if you even clicked the link she posted. If you did, you’d see why I "overreacted"—half the stuff written there is total nonsense. And look, we both know people don't die from papillary carcinoma itself—it's what else happens. All she gave us was the fact that she's hyperthyroid and wants to treat it with herbal teas and some other hypothalamus-targeting junk 🤣—at least, that's what it says there.
Anyway, my post was just an attempt to nudge her toward conventional medicine. You basically shut that down, but whatever—it doesn't matter. People always end up circling back to doctors eventually, whether it's sooner or later.

crimsonfox11 said:I'm having thyroid issues—hyperthyroidism—and I've tried conventional medicine, but all they suggest is radioactive iodine therapy or surgery. After that, there's a huge chance of the opposite happening—hypothyroidism.👎
I'm looking into alternative treatments and found this interesting article about managing thyroid problems using herbal tea blends (phytotherapy).
http://ikb162.tripod.com/index.html

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with this kind of treatment? Any actual results?😕

You won't end up hypothyroid because you'll just take thyroxine in pill form 👍. And look, I don't want to freak you out, but if they're pushing surgery or radioactive iodine, they might suspect thyroid cancer—which depends on the type, it isn't always a death sentence, but still...
Also, I don't get why people jump at alternatives so fast. You have hyperthyroidism—period. That means you have an excess of thyroid hormones wreaking havoc on your system; your heart is racing, you're losing weight, you can't sleep—and you actually want to keep suffering through that? No tea or whatever is going to shut down your thyroid, an adenoma, or whatever you're dealing with. There is no magic potion that can stop hormone secretion or block their effects on the periphery. Alternatives don't exist for this.
And I read that link—it’s absolute nonsense. It's poorly written, naive, and just plain stupid. I really don't feel like getting into a debate about it, but explaining the negative feedback loop mechanism feels like a waste of time. They took a few facts, completely misinterpreted them, and are selling people false hope. I hate this kind of garbage—it's infuriating...

Dealing with bad cramps? in Women's Health ·
Christian Sanchez44 said:Yeah, but is there any way to deal with this without popping painkillers? They’re really bad for you long-term, right? I’ve figured out the pill is the best fix for now, but... is there anything else? Or, let me rephrase: should I be worried about taking this much medication twelve times a year multiplied by however many years I have left until menopause?😁

NSAIDs aren't actually that harmful—especially not at these tiny doses. People with rheumatoid arthritis take way more than this for years on end and they handle it just fine. Look, if you're taking ibuprofen, the max daily dose is 3200mg—and that's every single day. If you take three pills in one day, that's only 1200mg total. You're nowhere near the limit. It’s not nearly as scary as people make it out to be. Honestly, before I started my degree, I used to freak out about meds too—but that was just because I didn't know any better.
Once you have kids, those pains usually taper off (or so I've heard, anyway), so you'll probably just have to stick with the meds until menopause hits.

Dealing with bad cramps? in Women's Health ·
Just one simple piece of advice—and honestly, I had to figure this out the hard way during my third year of med school while sitting through pharmacology lectures. It was incredibly frustrating, dealing with years of agonizing pain without knowing better.
You need to take an NSAID *before* the pain actually hits its stride. Seriously, even taking one the night before or at the very first hint of discomfort makes a difference. Personally, I stick to 400mg of ibuprofen—one pill every four hours. Some days I need two, maybe three, but on day one, I can actually function like a normal human being.
Before I learned this? It was brutal. A lot of time has passed since then, so the intensity of the pain is a bit blurry now, but I know it was hell. My mistake was trying to be "healthy" and minimize medication—I’d wait until the pain was unbearable before taking anything. By then, the prostaglandins were already synthesized, so the meds wouldn't even touch it. Then the nausea would kick in, I couldn't keep anything down, and everything just went south.
Doesn't matter which one you use—ibuprofen, Aleve, Voltaren, Advil, Motrin... whatever works for you. The only thing that matters is timing. Good luck—I really hope you guys get through this.
