Hello All,
Garzie, Thanks for posting that Powerpoint slide from Dr. J, it is very in depth, comprehensive and about the Xylitol, I chew Xylitol gum all day (PÜR Brand) and it seems to help keep my mouth clean. I like that there are folks like Buhner, Dr. MR who are so helpful with information..I feel I am in a fight with traditional doctors/medicine versus more recent discoveries and/or knowledge right now, and it is costing me unfortunately, as it's difficult to self-advocate with little or no support, most won't hear it. Anyway, for some of us who are finding relief and remedies, I guess we can keep seeking knowledge. I like to say I'm still In Search Of God's Gift wherever I may find it or share it.
yep - my experience with conventional western medicine has been very disappointing and frustrating.
most are not interested in the recent science - only the dogma they have been taught.
of the 4 infectious disease doctors i have seen - all highly regarded in this country - all were basically ignorant about
lyme.
i did have one rheumatologist who suggested lyme could be at the root of my issues - and suggested private testing - but even then - when that came back positive she was unwilling to prescribe antibiotics for fear of getting into trouble with the medical board.
My PCP says the system has failed me - not his lack of understanding, compassion or even curiosity, you understand - its "the system" - and i should basically look elsewhere
The whole situation is farcical and insulting - i have resolved to not waste my time with them for lyme - only for the acute things they more or less understand.
