I had big red and hurting tonsils and no time to go to a real doctor... What should I say? It didn´t work and I had to go to a doctor... I went a week later and had to take antibiotics (oh, and the nice women, who gave me the homeopatic garbage said, it is not only working with my tonsils, but also when I´m getting sunburned etc... everything with "red" symptoms... nice, right?)<br /><br />just wanted to share my short interaction with homeopatics ;)<br /><br />a continuous reader of docbastards blog ;)"DocBastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224592098492491365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-64191827625137029322014-06-10T21:26:40.357+03:002014-06-10T21:26:40.357+03:00My mom who was a retired CRNA was asked by friends...My mom who was a retired CRNA was asked by friends to do laetrile injections for a cancer patient who was a friend. They'd get it in Mexico and bring it up to LA and she'd do it, though she thought it was not going to do much more than sterile saline. By the time the patient came to her senses, she was stage IV lung cancer and didn't have time to do do chemo which might have saved her earlier. amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-10350862726457584972014-06-10T09:23:49.660+03:002014-06-10T09:23:49.660+03:00HI Doc - You are Hilarious !!!!!

In the mid 70's my parents and I would travel WAY TOO FAR ( About an hour or two ) I can't remember I was only 10 years old. My Parents would see this "DOCTOR" older man who practiced Homeopathic remedies, Vitamins etc. His far away enchanted office was literally in the middle of NOWHERE !! It reminded me of this HUGE log cabin. His office was packed with patients. His method ????? I can't remember the exact medical device or contraption he would use - He actually would study your PUPILS and give his diagnosis. His visits were not CHEAP!!!!!
