Never thought I’d be thankful this whole shit show happened but I’m glad it did. Began my Ivermectin treatment on Friday. I have a black toilet in my house and 2 days later I could clearly make out little parasites in the toilet. Makes me think, we worm our pets and livestock but not ourselves. How many people are running around with parasitic infections and don’t know.

My husband was being given anxiety medication when it turned out his problem was actually low blood sugar. He wasn't having panic attacks, he was having episodes of low blood sugar. This went on for years. It could have killed him. Thank God his severely diabetic friend told him to check his sugar - I keep a meter around to spot check every so often because diabetes runs so strongly in my family, so he used that. His sugar was at 50. Symptoms - nervousness, shaking, dizziness. Same as a panic attack.
I’ve had some terrible experiences with doctors and it has really made me skeptical of anything they say. I find it’s best to be as knowledgeable as I can be, the doctors hate it but it is my only defense.
A well informed patient is a doctors worst nightmare!! Lol. I always tell my patients to get second and third opinions and to always research everything rigorously. If something doesn’t sound or seem right, question it, research it, and ask as many questions as you want to. I see my patients put their doctor in the “God” category too much and that’s never a good thing.
Me too. One convinced me that I had a tumor in my uterus that would kill me if I didn't undergo a hysterectomy as quickly as possible. The pathology report showed the "tumors" were nothing but fibroids which, while painful and no fun to live with, would never have killed me. I found out too late to sue. That's just the worst thing that's been done to me, but there are several other examples. My daughter was once given the wrong medication for an ear infection, which made it worse - to this day, I've never seen her in so much pain, and that REALLY pissed me off because you don't mess with my kids. I raised all kinds of hell, to the point the doctor's office refunded the copay I paid them for the visit and paid me back for the wrong prescription. It wasn't enough but at least it was something.
They are great if you have a catastrophic event but only treat symptoms of everyday problems. I believe medical malpractice is in the top 5 causes of death in the United States.
Oh it absolutely is - hundreds of thousands of people die every year from pharmaceutical drugs taken at the direction of doctors, not misused or abused, where is the outrage over that? More people die from that than have from covid, yet they're not locking down the idiot doctors that prescribe this poison. My mom was on 17 (not exaggerating) different prescription medications in the years leading up to her death. None of them improved her quality of life, none of them did anything for her. If only I knew then what I know now...
It's just terrible. The medical profession doesn't seem to be interested in healing anyone at all. I take this shit into my own hands now. I have some trusted sites that are run by decent doctors where I go to research and find natural remedies for all that ails me. I'm sure people like me are the reason dickhead durbin quietly snuck in some language in his latest bill to try and make supplements and vitamins by prescription only. I hope to God that doesn't pass, otherwise we won't be able to get so much as a vitamin D without a prescription and a doctor's OK to take it.
Customers over cures.
Woah! I think my wife experiences this. What does he do if the blood sugar is running low? Just consume sugar?
He eats right away, but not necessarily just sugar - in fact that is a slippery slope because while sugar will raise your level right away, it will also cause it to crash later so it's not sustainable. Fiber-rich foods like fresh fruit are a very good idea (bananas, apples, mangoes, etc.) Oddly enough, bread will raise your blood sugar too. Go to draxe.com and read about low blood sugar, that's where I got most of the info my husband is using on this. Also they sell glucose tablets you can keep with you that won't spoil, in a pinch that's something specifically made for low blood sugar crashes. He gets that from Walgreens but I'm sure any drug store would have that. Best of luck and be careful - high blood sugar takes years to kill you, but low blood sugar can be extremely dangerous.
You’re awesome - thank you!
:) It's my pleasure! I wouldn't wish on anyone what I've watched him go through; it's truly scary. If you don't have a glucose meter in the home, I recommend picking one up. They're not real expensive; I got mine at Walgreens for under $15. If and when your wife feels faint, dizzy, lightheaded, etc., have her check her blood sugar in that moment. That should tell you if she's dealing with low sugar or actual anxiety. Normal levels depend on the last time she ate - so if it's first thing in the morning, no food yet, it should be between 80 and 100. If she's eaten, it can be higher than that, up to 150 or 180 even. From what I've read, anything under 70 at any point is considered low, 50 is considered very dangerous.
Try some hard candy, if it's low sugar that will have immediate effect. Then read a lot.
