My practice was a director of a large construction company. He was of 'middle-aged' I -given is in the same age category, this sounds nice neutral - for its bi-annual check-up. He was in his own words healthy and feeling fit. He has had some time need medical attention. The incident began with terrible pain in the calves. Moments later, he lost consciousness. It came back quickly but had a strange feeling in the arms. Due to the insistence of his wife, he sought the doctor, and a moment later he was in the CCU. But the heart was fine ... the only defect that could be found was a magnesium deficiency! The doctors conclude that he was given by the lack of magnesium strong muscle spasms, then hyperventilating (the fallout also matched) and thereby eventually fainted.
And then immediately a consultation with such content. This time it was a young man who needed a health certificate for his work. He was "healthy?"! He only used for years every day pill for his stomach.
With the knowledge -which I just gained Could- I mentioned briefly that he had his magnesium monitor. These pills may stomach namely to reduce the magnesium level in the body. Then he went straight on. "Oh, is that so?" he asked interested "Can that might be the cause of my cold hands and feet?". One cause of the complaints had his doctor could not find until now. And yes, you know, the symptoms can be caused by magnesium deficiency. Apparently my colleague finds it better to prescribe medication (with all the possible side effects) then search for the cause of the symptoms of this young corpulent man. Food!?, a taboo in the doctor's office?
On the same day once a 'story'! This time a nice lady, she also director in a company. A woman with a great sense of humor as was right after the greeting. I asked because my assistant to begin with the next patient, "If you measure your blood pressure and blood decreases, but I make him further." "Oh," mingled that kind lady smiling in our conversation, "as the doctor here the patients finish, I can get better immediately gaan1" Oops, again clear that I should pay more attention to my words. Further conversation now proceeded well in a very relaxed atmosphere.
Ms. told that she has a rheumatic disease which they daily prednisone and often used diclofenac. She sat thus on the edge of function reasonably well. I could not help me to speak with her about the potential benefit of feeding the additional possibilities of dietary supplements. I told her what nutrients might mean something to her complaints. north country steak buffet Now she told me that she recently -after a few years only by his GP behandeld- has insisted to consult a specialist. When rheumatologist she asked explicitly to the possibility north country steak buffet of power Could she do something with food to her symptoms? The specialist did not respond and only gave the option to use more medication when the symptoms get worse.
It continues to amaze me that so many colleagues have little attention to nutrition. So much has been scientifically known about the influence of diet on health. Especially since we are increasingly looking at prevention! Perhaps this is due to the influence of the nutrition center. Many people use this as the sole source of information. But I can only recommend everyone to continue to approach this critical. Or come along once to discuss about nutrition. We can certainly learn from each other!
