How the world has changed since I last posted on this blog. Starting in 2019 the world became a really crazy place with fear of a supposed novel virus, Covid-19, as it was named at that time.
Being holistic and an RN, I could not understand, from the very beginning, why we would wait to begin treatment of those who presented with Flu like symptoms? Why? Never in an almost 30 year career has medicine done this. The moto has always been, "early treatment for every disease in the book leads to the best outcomes".
Well sure enough, that was what we were told to tell people. Go home, get sicker, come back when you just can't breath, we'll help you then. Really? Well you can think of this what you will. I believe my words speak my thoughts loudly! So now what to do?
Take charge of your own health! This is what I have been shouting out for a long time! We just cannot depend on a disease care system to take care of us as we would really like to be taken care of. This latest plunge into poor disease care has so proven that out. If you want the best chance to survive anything, you must be aware of your options, inform yourself, be prepared and have the correct medicines on hand. Also decide how you are going to treat yourself if you do come down with Covid. Save your own life!
Many of the effective treatments for Covid are not readily available. If you are fearful about what to do, go to American Frontline Doctors website and see what their protocol is. Get a health coach. One that knows how to coach you and help you prepare. Then if you come down with the flu/cold, start treating yourself on day one! And yes, if you get to where you can't breath, you might need to go to the hospital. I'd find a doctor who agrees with early treatment of any disease but especially Covid, and then let them guide you.
Please note: I am suggesting you your do your own research, find your own treatment protocol, decide on your own treatment protocol, treat yourself and seek advice, coaching, and guidance. Taking charge of your own health means being responsible for your own health and the health of the children you are responsible for. Don't act upon anyone's advice, not even mine, until you are convinced of the best course of action.
This type of health care is not for everyone. It takes determination and commitment, and it takes time and effort to do your own research. It's only for those who chose to be accountable for themselves. What I'm here to say is, you can do this! No one knows you better than you do and when you ignore that fact and put your full trust in anyone else, you are eliminating the most important person of your healthcare team, yourself.
Our health is nothing to be taken for granted. Yes, I know that the Medical model would have you believe that the primary care Doc knows best, but just for a reality check, they don't and never have, and because the medical model teaches people to be dependent on it and it alone, you, as their "patient", are left doubting yourself. Hmmmm, ever wonder why that is. Yeah, so you don't question just what is going on. Besides the focus of the healthcare system (as it is now) is disease care, symptom care, drug and surgery based "medicine". Most providers are not taught anything about true healthcare. How to stay or get healthy is not the concept providers are taught. Thus they know little to nothing about building health.
I encourage you to take the leap of faith into self care, if you haven't already! Trust yourself to find good information, advice and guidance! Don't be closed minded when it comes to what works and what doesn't. Many treatments are labeled junk when they work miracles. There are also many truly junk treatments out there touted as miracles. This is where you come in. You have to learn to read between the lines. This will take time and effort but you can do this!
If you already take charge of you own health, I hope you have gotten some encouragement from this post! It is hard enough to have to listen to providers who criticize you for this, and believe me, I know they do. That is unless you have the right kind of care provider who should and does really value his patient's as clients and knows that if he partners with you, they will be able to do a better job of helping you address your health issues. And by the way, congratulations for being brave, trusting yourself, and knowing how important you are!
Until next time,
