If a doctor refuses to test you for mold toxicity, heavy metals, vitamin deficiencies, etc... 👎 Thank you, Dr. Josh Axe! 🙂

[@sama.scraps]

I know my difficulties with doctors have to do with their treatment of me and their indifference towards my health.

[@donnagarner6007]

I have trust issues with the medical field b/c I watched my mother and brother receive more and more scripts and get sicker. I also have trust issues with Gov't agencies-- I don't feel they have our interests at heart. They aren't stopping what they need to stop! As far as John Doe, I am a pretty trusting person.😊

[@crystalthompson507]

I thought that was a joke, find a doc that you can trust?!

[@waderay1394]

Only a doctor who has gone back in time not programmed

[@Halfpynt71]

I much prefer functional, naturopathic and Chinese medicine doctors, but unfortunately, I can't afford it since insurance doesn't cover it. I am so sick and have been for almost 9 years. When I first got sick from an erosion of a bladder sling and the Fluoroquinolone toxicity from taking the antibiotic Cipro I saw a naturopath and it drained all of my savings with all of the tests and supplements, so I had to go back to the conventional Dr. I'm pretty sure I'm really aggravating them because I won't take medications. This is the reason I don't trust Dr.s, pharmaceutical companies, lawyers, FDA and pretty much most of the government at all. They took my life away.

[@eatmeatandliftweights5754]

I was weary of the medical system for a long time, but, since April 2020, my trust in the medical system, and government is zero. However, I have found an ethical, functional medicine doctor who understands nutrition, does not push drugs and I trust him.

[@mightywind7595]

I have a back injury that was diagnosed by an osteopathic doctor, unfortunately he quit practicing. My new Dr. put in her notes in my medical record that I just have a “backache “. Then she sent me to a physical therapist who wouldn’t listen to anything I told him about my current issues with my back and what my chiropractor says he sees. Interestingly, in his notes he said there were a lot of imbalances and one sided weakness. So he didn’t want to believe his own eyes 🤷‍♀️

[@Freed0703]

Why does it seem like doctors just don't care about you? it seems like you have to research and tell them how to keep you healthy, rather than them suggesting recommended check ups.

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

Probably a sign that you should take your health into your own hands. I recommend the Medical Medium book series for excellent info if you go this route.

[@jessegentry9699]

The bible says, "Trust NO Man".

[@shirleygriffin7672]

Late seeing your video. I do blood tests twice a year. No illnesses here, age 71 physically fit, speaking 3 languages. I don't go to doctors. Thirty-five years, no physicians. We eat clean, exercise 6 days a week, drink fresh spring water 💦 , since 1991. Lots of sunlight too. Be well.

[@zizimyui6605]

Thanks 🙂

[@Magneticlaw]

I don't trust any doctor.....problem solved. I'm almost 48 and haven't needed one yet

[@Ms.noelp453]

I hope and pray that you never need one ❤️

[@watts-fd4vp]

You can trust doctors that aren't trying to make profit. So, people who are older and morr established, already have money. Have gone through loss, so they have motivation to prevent disease rather that treat. And have a history.. so like many years of podcasts.. posts.. if the podcasts are long, charlatans don't hve he knowledge to talk for hours of intricate detail.

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

I would trust them to fix a broken bone, stitch me up, etc. with purely physical wounds I'm glad we have the technology. With anything involving biochemistry or nutrition, F&*% NO!!! These things are very separate issues and one is obvious to anyone that they didn't do their job, the other they can slowly poison you for profit and you won't have evidence one way or the other enough to prove them wrong.

[@tanyajarvis1433]

I lost my trust in the medical profession 17 years ago here in England they know nothing about mold ect so I have struggled.

[@tasxou5470]

🤝 thank you sir

[@ricksanford6485]

Dude, maybe you haven't looked out the front door lately but functional medicine Dr's, and osteopath Dr's don't exist except in bigger cities.

[@tjj5337]

My dentist is very dishonest… He upsells big time…. He tried to sell me completely UNNECESSARY X-RAYS and ROOT CANALS. I brush and floss after every meal. I haven’t had a cavity in decades.

[@SP-ql9xz]

dr.. p-ANCA & c-ANCA vasculitis.. what can we do about this? How can a person recover from this❤️❤️❤️thx..

[@PCAGA2298]

I have had so many bad experiences with doctors. Many who have harmed me with there “treatment s”

[@MsAure]

❤ 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@donnabauerofbrilliancebyde1178]

Hahahah.Been searching for 20 plus years. Quit two years ago

[@brucewayan3472]

I used to be naïve and be very trusting. I don't trust anyone or anything anymore after Covaids except all the real Doctors who were cancelled. discredited and dragged through the mud . Without my wife I would be an extremely lonely man.

[@lindabueckert9559]

My doctor comes off as cold.. no compassion.
