Why do doctors treat you like your stupid and crazy for using herbs?!


Question: Why do doctors treat you like your stupid and crazy for using herbs?
Ive had a long standing bacterial infection that I have kept under control with herbs for a year. I try to avoid antibiotics whenever I can. I told tha doctor I used herbs like tea tree and boric acid and colloidal silver and he hated me, and made me leave his office with NO antibiotics. I have to wait 4 days for garderella to show up on the smear and then he will prescribe me something, he treated me like I was an idiot and didnt have any kind of infection at all when I KNOW I have an infection. I have discharge, cramps fevers chills, EVERYTHING.

The reason why i am so stubborn about going to the doctor is cuz, I hade a UTI last year. I went back to the doctor 5 times on 5 different rounds of antibiotics, and it didnt cure a damn thing and Im poor.

I finally cured myself with echinacea and D-Mannose aswell as apple cidar vinigar.

THIS IS WHY I hate doctors and I hate modern medicine which does nothing to help me anyway, why I try to do alternative medicine

Answers:

Most conventional, orthodox and traditional doctors regard alternative medicine as quackery so if you are taking any herbs or other alternative or natural medicine it is better not to tell your doctor although most doctors would probably not overreact as much as your doctor did.

Most conventional doctors are probably mostly interested in prescription medication and some of them probably have links to pharmaceutical companies.



Look at it from the doctor's point of view: here's a patient with absolutely no medical knowledge or training whatsoever, self-diagnosing and treating herself with the modern-day equivalent of voodoo magic and bloodletting. None of it's working, and she's blaming *you*.

How is he supposed to react?


Further, if your placebo water and ditch leaves were really working, why did you go see a doctor to begin with?



Very dangerous advice from silly Susan. Tell your doctor what you're taking so that any possible drug interactions don't kill you.

He did the right thing by not giving you a product while you have been filling your body with all sorts of unregulated junk.

If you're poor, save your money for real medical treatment and not for internet hoax treatments. Who knows how much of your problems stem from consuming contaminated chemicals from dubious sources?



You are using an treatments known to not work. Every single treatment, even those that you claimed "worked" are known to be completely ineffective. Your infection almost certainly resolved on its own, which they will usually do, eventually.

You are clearly not a rational person.

Hmm....5 times you went to the doctor. 5 times you were given antibiotics. You were still not cured?

I thought these chemically-made medicines have been scientifically proven to cure people.



They are illiterate, just college pass men. They know only to criticize out of jealousy. God forgive these sinners.

Vast Homoeopathic literature.



It seems to me that the question you are directing to the yahoo community would be more properly directed at the doctors in question. Do you think they are registered here?



You come across as stupid regardless of your use of herbs. . .no offense. Neither boric acid nor colloidal silver are herbs, by the way.

I don't think the doctor has confidence in your diagnostic abilities; that's why he wanted to make sure, before prescribing you anything.

You hate doctors and hate the medicine that never helps you, yet you went to see a doctor about going on antibiotics - strange.

Edit: @Susan, You think it best not to tell your doctor that you're taking herbs, which have the possibility of causing adverse drug interactions? Astounding. Rather that than, at worst, a stern talking to - right?



Because to be blunt, you are. Herbs are essentially crude drugs at unknown and uncontrolled concentrations. If they had any real medicinal value, we would be using it.

The Doctor did the correct thing and confirmed you actually had an infection. With some infections this is also necessary to determine which is the correct antibiotic to use.

Tea tree won't resolve an infection, neither will ACV, CS or echinacea.

If you have a long standing infection, it means whatever you were using at home wasn't working either.

Mannose won't resolve a UTI. UTIs can resolve on their own. It's nothing to do with the D-M. Treatment failure in the past is no reason to hate modern medicine. Perhaps the bacteria evolved resistance to the antibiotics you were taking. Did your Doctor send your urine off to the lab? Failure to respond to repeated antimicrobial therapy, warrants further investigation.

Edit: Rational person? Really? you've been trying to resolve an infection with scientifically unsupported crap. There's nothing rational about that.



well you do sound very ignorant when you say you hate modern medicine but don't know much about it. Medicine/drugs are made with plants so it's not like doctors are just scoffing at herbs saying they all have NO effect on people. Also the stuff you described wasn't even all herbs. Colloidal silver? Boric Acid? Those aren't herbs. Modern medicine is huge and yeah, over prescribing people is bad and yeah a lot of it is very scary, but seriously modern medicine is a good thing and it may save your life one day if you ever get cancer or something so don't say you HATE doctors when a lot of them are good intelligent people who save lives. Yes, some are idiots but a lot aren't



Not all doctors are brainwashed.

And when they are brainwashed, some are more than others.

You don't need to hate them, it's just one of their spiritual projects, it's their awareness.

Some people are born to cheat other people or let them in ignorance.
Some are ignorant, so they don't want to hurt you intentionally.

I truly hope this makes reality a little more clear to your eyes.



their business is pushing toxic garbage for profit. naturally, they are offended when people don't listen to their lies. it's just too bad you had to learn by experience, but at least you're still alive to talk about it. it's no coincidence their symbol is the snake.
