How often do you actually see a doctor for medical problems instead of treating yourself?

3 years ago, I had an illness while my family was on vacation, and I did not go to the doctor because I did not have enough strength to walk out of the home without collapsing.

I had friends that would have 100% driven me to the doctors, but since my illness was contagious, I did not want to ask them for help and make them sick as well.

I mixed honey with tea and I got better.

Doctors are good for blood work.

Go once per year, get your results, talk to your doctor, take in their recommendations and YOU set your course.

Do your own research, you know your body.

Doctors can be helpful, good doctors can save your life but always do your own research.

I have been seeing one doctor after another for the last two or three years. i am having a biopsy tomorrow. It has been one thing after another.

I recommend essiac tea capsules and turkey's tail with ginger. It costs around $3.00 a day on Amazon.

That will not help with a bone on bone hip joint. Or prostate cancer.

You kinda know if it's a run of the mill thing or something more serious. I would normally self diagnosis and only go to the doctor if I needed a prescription.

Rest, plenty of fluids, and try to eat. Your body is pretty good at sorting its self out
