Has anyone found success with Naturopathy?

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Has anyone become totally well by going to a naturopath? What was your experience like? How do you know when you have a good one?

This was recommended to me going to give it a try.. hopefully a huge change will happen!

My uncle practices acupuncture and Chinese medicine in America and he saved my cousin’s professor’s life and helped a wheel chair bound guy walk. He receives hundreds of dollars worth of gifts from his patients every month but my uncle is unusually intelligent, was a medical sciences professor at a top school in China. A good quality naturopath can make a huge difference but not all of them are equally qualified. My uncle says most physiotherapists do more harm than good because only a highly qualified physiotherapist is able to produce benefit for their clients and a low iq worker might not succeed so the same might apply to naturopaths - that only a highly skilled one can help.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

How can you tell if they are skilled?

[jennifer_bloom]

I do not hire them but one thing is looking at how many years they have been in practice and how broad their range of expertise is - a broad range suggests high skill level. I prefer to hire bilingual people who have evidence of extensive training in foreign countries - that suggests they are smart enough to be doctors but are working as naturopaths because of language barriers and not lower Intelligence.

Alright thanks for your input!

Tired of going to doctor after doctor feeling worse leaving than when I walked in.. Had multiple seizures during an EEG that afterwards the next day felt like my head was too heavy to lift from the pillow.. doing better than that now but miss my health before all the struggles I could go, go, go no issues now its a like a rollercoaster my strength is affected I know the weight of the fridge door doesn't change in my mind I know that sometimes I can open it without thinking twice other times I can't need to take a nap try again when I wake up... when im weak a styrofoam plate feels just as heavy as a glass one.. and I dont know why I know its not really but my body is telling me it is... does your uncle have any idea what im dealing with?

[jennifer_bloom]

I had seizures too as a kid. I think a naturopath is good cause they can recommend things like legal medicinal mushrooms or probiotics - not saying it cures epilepsy but it can can help with other issues.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Thank you

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Can you message me?

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Just want to ask you more questions like how did they stop the seizures? Do you still have issues today? What did you find helped? The use of had makes me extremely excited!

[jennifer_bloom]

I grew out of it and I had surgery to correct the problem.

[jennifer_bloom]

They gave me carbamazepine.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Im soo happy for you thats great!

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Not so much the surgery but it fixed the problem is all that matters!

[jennifer_bloom]

Yes. I’m fortunate that I got better and being religious I give credit to God for a huge part of my healing.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Yes God is good all the time!

We had a doctor who used to practice out of our Hospital, Dr. Su Fairchhild she was Chinese but she use to do regular Family Practice medicine and then switched to Naturopathy so I need to read up on this cause for many years I've been on many
medications I take 12 pills in the morning, 2 pills in the evening, and 6 pills at bedtime
so I believe I need a new route to take my blood pressure is high and heart rate elevated, I have diabetes, I take water pills.. If I could lose 60-70 lbs I would
reach my goal of losing weight, I went down from 372 lbs to 266 so I want
at least lose 60 lbs to make myself feel happy

[PeacefulRainDrop]

I hope you fulfill your dreams!

For me it’s not about becoming totally well, it’s about dealing, coping and managing things

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Yes doctors can't find out whats wrong with me.. friend told me about this.. gonna give it a try I think.. once I know why my brain seems to just shut off I go completely limp then can work on coping and dealing with things! I am glad they helped you!

[ChrisMaster69]

@PeacefulRainDrop sorry to hear about that. Yes all avenues are worth trying, for me it was so I’m not simply using drugs to cope.

A lot is down to exercise, mental exercises, sunlight (bummer over winter), fresh air.

Then it’s CBT etc.

Then of course dream journal
Lol other than that I’m fine

[PeacefulRainDrop]

A dream journal whats that?

[ChrisMaster69]

@PeacefulRainDrop basically you record vivid dreams in it.

I’ve always had some great nightmares lol

[PeacefulRainDrop]

I haven't dreamt in years... I more write down my worries, troubles helps me find solutions

[ChrisMaster69]

@PeacefulRainDrop it’s the same principal

You write down things to put them in to perspective and make them tangible

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Yes thats true

[ChrisMaster69]

@PeacefulRainDrop thank you most appreciated.

Instead of Naturo-whatever. Try science. Basic example to get you started. If you eat a big meal or drink a bunch of water how will the enzymes and stomach acids that breakdown your food come in contact with all of your meal? If you don't stay hydrated between meals how will your stomach acid gland refill itself and how will your waste be moved through the body? Free yourself from these "systems" and simply understand how things work.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

I do drink a lot of water in general ill try drinking closer to I eat.. does tea count? I have a tea almost every meal

[humanearth]

What do you want to know? Been doing it for a long time.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Can I message you later about it? Not feeling great now briefly checking this then getting off

[humanearth]

You never had to ask. Your one of the good ones on here

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Aww thats sweet of you to say.. well thank you!

[In_Trance]

Yes I have. Been a few years now. I'll never go back

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Why won't you go back?

[In_Trance]

The results are much better with virtually no side effects

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Thats excellent so its a good thing you dont have to go back!
