not unless it was a matter of life & death & even then, for the most part, i don't put my trust in drs..........i understand how u feel, i've been there for the most part of 7-1/2yrs...........it's only in the last 2yrs, that i was able to finally find a dr who actually listens to me, who never condescends to me & tries natural things, b 4 going to harmful drugs.........i haven't had an infection since i started with him........i use to b so sick all the time & getting sicker every time i got sick, which was about every month...........have u researched this D thing on the net??.........read the medical research papers??.........checked into candida over-growth??.......looked up adrenal fatigue??.........cause i have to tell u, for me, it's been a hard row to how just trying to get a grip on this thing called adrenal fatigue........it's a tough thing to connect the dots..........when the adrenal hormones r not in balance, it causes sodium & potassium to b either held where they don't belong or causes them to b flushed, which does cause D.........it also has a lot to do with muscle integrity & the intestines r nothing but muscles........also, if ur intestinal walls r not porous enough, it doesn't let the liquid thru, which causes D & eventually malnutrition..........that's where i was.........this was my problem...........there's also this thing about iron........iron carries oxygen to ur cells, it can also constipate u, which after having D for so long, was something i kinda looked forward to.......it didn't do that with me, it just helped.......when oxygen is low, it encourages the candida problem, which is a can of worms..........& it causes diseases..........it's all this very complicated process & it can b hard to process in ur brain.........the thing is, most MD's don't have a clue........u might want to read my other posts, i have written quite a few.......... i hope u find the help u need.........try some licorice root DGL, seasalt, potassium & have u had ur hormones checked??..........they all have a contributing factor..........
