Report Slow Down Stop Reverse Aging
In my opinion, the
answer is mostly no.
Why then, does nearly
everyone who writes
about health include
a phrase about seeing
your doctor first?
The answer is easy:
They
Want To
Cover
Their Butt!
Here's what I believe:
Before you follow
the advice in this
or any other publication,
you should
see a doctor (a real
M.D.)... but... that
doctor should not
necessarily be your
current doctor.
Is that strange advice?
Consider this true
story...
I've been using the
same doctor for years.
(I'll refer to him
as "Doctor Original".)
He knows and respects
the fact I stay tuned
in to a lot of medical
research... and...
for the most part,
he almost automatically
writes me any prescription
I request.
Well, Dr. Original
has become very successful
and over the years
has built up his practice
to, what I believe
now is, 14 different
offices. As you can
imagine, it's nearly
impossible to get
an appointment with
him. Because even
I couldn't
get an appointment
with him, Doctor Original
suggested I see an
associate doctor who
works with him.
During my first visit
with this new doctor
("Doctor Replacement"),
he refused to write
me a prescription
for something I wanted.
He explained, "I'm
sorry. It's just I'm
very conservative."
"No," I replied,
"that's not true.
In this case, it's
just you are ignorant
of the facts."
Dr. Replacement discussed
the situation with
Dr. Original who then
immediately wrote
me the prescription
I wanted. I told Dr.
Replacement where
he could do research
on this particular
item.
On
my next visit to Dr.
Replacement, when
I asked for a renewal
of that same prescription,
he wrote it for me
with no hesitation
at all. "Aha,"
I said, "are you
less 'conservative'
than you were on my
last visit?"
