Hi Brickey, Unfortunately, you can lead an MD to wisdom, but he might not partake. I told my surgeon I simply wouldn't comply with abx after my surgery, but would religiously drink CS and said, 'You know, like what they put in newborn's eyes?' That seemed to register and my rapid recovery later confirmed that my method was sound. Fortunately, I went home the next day, so he had no control, but his checks on the stitches, the visiting nurses' reports all supported my decision. I've often wondered if a loving family member could say it was 'holy water' from the local priest if that would go over. Religion is a sticky issue that most docs don't want to touch.
A friend of mine couldn't hold down food after wa-a-ay too much cancer treatment. They put liquid feed down her but it wouldn't stay. I finally asked for an empty container with the ingredients and %s and took it home. She'd been begging for organic carrot juice, and I was able, by checking the 'Nutrition Almanac' to prove to them that everything they were trying to give her was already in the juice and in better quantity and quality. They agreed and put the juice in her feeding tube and she began to stabilize and even gain weight! Their only complaint was that an occasional root hair would clog the tube, but they had to admit the patient had known what she needed.
