Gosh, Dr. Mercola!

I wish you would have posted this article last week. I suffered the same problem…only I opted to keep my testicles intact, and instead had my spine removed. The headaches disappeared, but I lost the nerve to procreate.

And to think all I really needed was to just lose the underoos, and graduate to big boy briefs…Oye!

What a great (and hillarious) example to use as a metaphor for the healthcare that is going on in this country!! I love Dr. Mercola's sense of humor, it keeps me laughing everyday! (Which I think is good for your health, right?)

ALWAYS get a second opinion. Thats the lesson. I like the article because bringing humor into it allows people to relax and be more accepting to the information, then to think about it in lamen's terms. It makes the process of applying the concept to larger and more serious situations we deal with everyday, much smoother.

I have found in my life that the doctor's were telling me to heal myself one way, and I was not being healed. I was doing the band-aid thing for my son and myself...then I started looking for second opinions...but not doctors, on internet sites like Dr. Mercola's and started self-empowerment and self-treatment where applicable. And guess what? IT WORKS.

You only live life once, do it right! Take care of the wonderful, intricate, beautiful, amazing body God gave you! Take care.

I was always of the opinion that is was acute care we did best and to be very wary of all the rest. Well - you have to be careful of acute care too. I walked out on a doc earlier this week that insistent that there is only one way to treat a broken wrist and wouldn't answer my questions when I questioned his advice and asked for an option that would give me maximum functionality. Smartest thing I ever did as I found that the next doc was fully on board with my desire to have functionality and I am quite satisfied with my treatment plan.
The majoe reason I walked out on me was his insistance that "risks" weren't mine to assume.

Once again Occum's Razor wins, the simplest and most common sense answer, generally speaking, is the correct one.

Humor is good.

A laugh a day keeps the doctor away :)
