I go to one of these doctors (who is a MD also) and when he tells me that a chemical method works great and quick I use it. <br /><br />Day to day all of us can take care of ourselves but when something that we are not sure of requires a more knowledgeable opinion.<br /><br />Like one of the commenter's here noted, we cannot know the course a unknown disease may take. We do not have the training. Like Bob says, BALANCE!

They're a relic of the past now, thanks to polio eradication. That disease seriously handicapped a former president. I have an elderly friend who has been blind most of his life, due to measles. Those diseases should be going extinct, and they would, except for opinionated and totally stupid people.<br /><br />Allen C.

I've known others who concluded the same thing, but they never bothered to check with a qualified medical expert to see if their conclusions were valid. My wife and I get them every September, and if I might happen to contract a cold right after one, I certainly would not blame the shot. So far, we have never had influenza, but we have had an occasional cold. They are two totally different things. Her doctor told my wife thirty or forty years ago to never let herself get the flu after she survived a very serious infection and asthma. We do everything we can to take advantage of immunisations and both of us have been protected against shingles. My poor mother had that, and it was horrible.<br /><br />Allen C.

An antibiotic prescribed by an MD would be the appropriate measure.<br /><br />There are times when a holistic approach can help you in maintaining good health, but people take things to extremes, and attempt to treat life-threatening conditions that require deeper measures with fasting or eating garlic, and then are surprised that death ends up being the result. There are also extremes in overuse of antibiotics, causing superbugs that are drug resistant.<br /><br />Adults with crackpot ideas and practices should not be allowed to impose those practices on their children when they could result in permanent damage or death. Freedoms are all subject to regulation to protect those who lack common sense from their own stupidity.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-4047015029351652122017-01-26T13:21:28.515-08:002017-01-26T13:21:28.515-08:00An obscene amount of members and children have die...An obscene amount of members and children have died in COG circles from easily treated ailments like appendicitis.
