Comment on Holistic Medicine For Treatment Of Arthritis by Dr. Nature O

I wonder how much big pharma pays her to spy on actual good naturopaths and other alternative practitioners and steer them away from natural cures, just to make them go into that "death machine" called chemotherapy so that her and her big pharma poison sellers can get rich! The skepdicks have sunk really low with this.

This person, ( whose identity should be known to people familiar to the alternative medicine forum ), is, like most of the self-proclaimed alt med sceptics here, simply providing a referral to conventional treatments, NOTHING more. Identifying oneself as a practitioner in this field ( and then suggesting to patients to undergo orthodox medical care ) seems suggestive of a professional sleight of hand, deliberately deceptive. For a person to recommend treatment based on scientific proof ( and we know how slanted and ethically compromised such studies tend to be ) while touting themselves as a natural practitioner is emblematic of the smoke and mirrors so pervasive in this and other forums.

Edit- Gary Y – Regarding the self-identified natural practitioner, it appears Aristo has caught you with your p***s down, forcing you to indulge in some major backpeddling. Either the practice is quackery or its not, which is it? And this is how you explain the flip-flop? I’m surprised you did not refer to those who noticed the discrepancy as conspiracy theorists.

#2 – Gary Y – You will be on the lookout for this person promoting homeopathy or whatnot, ready to attack them, lol ! The jig is up, sunshine.

#3- Gary Y- Stay on topic? I agree absolutely. Alright, so you are trying to say that naturapathy is complete quackery half the time, and valid therapy the other half ( scratching head ) ? Gary my sceptic friend, pretend to the end.

She’s not an MD – you can rule that out.

Everytime you post something, your mind is on parade for all the world to see.
Keep it up

Please see a doctor. Right now! CALL 1-800-273-TALK and don’t hang up until you’ve read your article to them. Then please stay on the line. If you feel like you cannot talk to your doctor, get a new one or bring in a copy of your post and just read it to him. Your MD’s job is not to judge you and although it is a hard line to cross because it is so personal, your MD will not judge you. If you must, imagine that you are talking to a wall that will not comment back but please seek help and call the hotline tonight. Print this page – everything you’ve written here – and call the hotline. Read it to them.

You have some very deep feelings about what has happened to you recently and although you may be steering away from this, you sound like you’re exploring your options and so before you go about deciding on methods, you need a medical and psychological consult. I’m NOT saying you’re crazy – not by any means, I’m just saying that you lack a support system at this time and it sounds like you really need someone to talk to.

Postpartum depression is a serious hormonal imbalance that can send you spiraling down quickly but because you’ve not carried and delivered, the hormonal effects would be different. Unresolved grieving on the other hand seems to fit the picture better but you very well may have a chemical imbalance on top of that.

Someone mentioned bipolarity – it’s possible – but even if you’ve never had any episodes of mania circling back to depression before, I would recommend a psych consult anyway, to give you peace of mind if nothing else.

Your state of being is affecting your activities of daily living. You are under a lot of stress and your emotional status is not helping you. Please seek help immediately.

Sorry Garry, but your assumption could lead to witch hunt.
"She provides very good advice, and is honestly against quackery in all forms".

If this is the case, she is not a naturopathic doctor at all. In your previous answers virtually anything performed by licensed naturopath was a quackery in one form or another.
How could she be one?
There maybe is some very well hiden conspiracy after all.

the pap smear change is especially wierd. over the decades it has been talked about as being the thing that has worked best to bring down female cancer rates.
are they replacing it with the hpv shot or something?
IMO stick to the method that has worked for decades.

No doctor is going to tell you you have the blues. You sound like you have fairly definite symptoms of depression. You may also have anxiety disorder. You probably need to start off with an antidepressant. Go see a doctor please. Also, make sure to tell him you aren’t sleeping well as that could mean anxiety as well. Tell him everything you’ve mentioned here.
Also, start thinking about whether this is the degree that you really want to do. It could be you just aren’t happy with what you are doing.
I wouldn’t discount seeing a counselor as well. If I were in your shoes, I would do both (see a doctor and a counselor).
Good Luck

Doctors and nurses want patients to survive cancer. If the "alternatives" worked they would be mainstream medicine and recommended by the experts.
