Have You Seen Dr. Vliet? Is the Price Worth It?
Question by : Have you seen Dr. Vliet? Is The price worth it?
I have a severe hormone problem that has made my life dysfunctional and has destroyed my career plans. It has been debilitating since I was in my mid-20s. I’m 45 now. I’ve seen a whole horde of doctors who’ve been unable or unwilling to help me, because they don’t understand these complex issues or know what to do about it. Diet and exercise have not helped. Hormones have helped only minimally. I’ve read the famous Dr. Vliet’s books, and I’m amazed at her knowledge. She seems to be the foremost expert on hormone issues. I’m thinking about seeing her, but I wonder if that would do any good, and an appointment is so expensive–more than I can afford. Her prices are astronomical! I recall that it’s around $ 8,000 for the initial full appointment and you have to have costly followup appointments in order to remain on the prescriptions she orders. She’s now offering a “Second Opinion” appointment for aprox. $ 995.00, but she won’t prescribe drugs for the lower cost appointment and will only write a report about suggestions of treatment and testing. I don’t know if that will be of help to me since the doctors in this area won’t prescribe hormones, period, and probably won’t give a hoot about what she suggests in the report. It almost seems to me like she’s just in it for the money. Greedy, in my opinion.I think any doctor who has this knowledge to help people should be doing so for reasonable fees.
So Drug Use From My Group of Friends Has Pretty Much Screwed My Social Life…?
Question by crackerjacks12: so drug use from my group of friends has pretty much screwed my social life…?
Well im in kind of a shi**y situation where my group of friends who I have hung out with since i was kid (im now 20) have let their drug use get the best of them… I have done drugs in the past but I had the brains to get out of it while I could and I have not done any drugs other then tobacco and alcohol in 3 years… Well, its gotten to the point where they have moved on to hard drugs, and all they care about is getting high, and its gotten to the point for me that I can not even hang with them because I can not stand seeing them like that. I hated to leave my old group of friends behind, but i knew that I needed to. I eventually did make a new set of friends who were clean and the good majority of them had never even touched a drug. After a while though it went right back into the same routine for me because out of nowhere they began using drugs too.
Im just sick of this crap because I have lost too many people who are close to me… Some of my friends have died from drugs, some are in prison because of drugs, I have lost relationships because of drugs, and the rest are just wasting their lives away because of drugs. I really do not know what too move onto, because it seems to me that every time I get accepted into a new group of people, they all end up being your typical crack head…. im just really starting to believe that The entire youth of northern Illinois is completely screwed. I really need answers on what I can do, and how I can move on, because it seems every time I make progress in disassociating myself with drugs, it somehow finds its way back into the lives of my friends and my social life
Why Does the Liberal Media Promotes Promiscuity and Abortions,?
Question by mission_viejo_california: Why does the Liberal media promotes promiscuity and abortions,?
According to the Time headline last week, a new study finds that the abortion pill RU-486 is “safe.” The only drug approved by the FDA that is designed to end human life, rather than improve it, “doesn’t increase risks” said the Chicago Tribune headline.
These headlines take deception in journalism to a whole new level. During the last Congress, I served as counsel to the House subcommittee on drug policy that investigated the FDA’s approval of RU-486. Anyone who seriously examines the highly irregular approval process and the serious adverse events associated with this drug can only conclude that it poses a deadly danger to women and should be removed from the market.
