Here I am after reading the 5 Moments ...Dr Grumet,<br /><br />Here I am after reading the 5 Moments excerpt on HuffPost, then on to Amazon.com for your book, then 'In My Humble Opinion." I'm sure that you have heard it before, but you are a great writer that directly hit my exposed nerves, you know, the emotions that I have struggled over a lifetime, to surpress and forget...<br /><br />ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12134383879549406244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296669137299786155.post-24189783202695196362017-06-03T03:00:14.266-07:002017-06-03T03:00:14.266-07:00Dr Grumet, do you know the hate and backlash we ge...Dr Grumet, do you know the hate and backlash we get when we try to get care by evidence based medicine? I mean not just from some doctors (not all) but also administration when we ask for it. <br /><br />It costs them money and they know that patients like me, who do medical research, etc. are going to catch these things.

Our daughter has Mito and a Mast cell disorder. When we argued that this med or that caused other symptoms they encouraged her to take various meds anyway, even when it lead to taking another and another and another to treat the new symptoms caused by the medications. We had to realize that sometimes a little bit of suffering today might prevent even more tomorrow. Now, I know there are necessary medicines, and I am grateful we have medications, but I think it is outrageous how many medications the average American takes, and I feel strongly that vitamins and supplements are medications. Add to that all the OTC medications available it is no wonder so much of our incomes go to "healthcare." It is funny when we take her for annual follow up(neurology, nephrology etc) when they see she isn't taking meds nor interested unless deemed essential or life saving and cause no further progression ,they too often ask "so then why are you here today?" If you haven't heard of them already, there are is a growing group of Drs. developing a "Less is More" approach. I believe it started in Canada.
