Can Internet Diagnosis Help You?
Last year I Googled “cure me,” clicked on the first link that came up, answered about 950 questions, and was given a few solutions. I knew I had pneumonia at the time, but had absolutely no money for doctor bills, no insurance and really no faith in modern medicine. Although I’ve always tried to remain on the natural side of healing, I’d been put on antibiotics at least 5 times that year for ear infections – as a last resort. I knew that the antibiotics were what really wore me to the point of pneumonia, and I just wanted to find some natural remedy for it.
Nearly 1000 questions and 2 hours later I was left with a list of potential illnesses including liver damage, bacterial dysbiosis and of course, pneumonia. What I got from diagnoseme.com was a possible cause for the pneumonia and a road map for healing. Of course I was left with a bunch of research to do – but the site really sent me in the right direction.
Can this Work for You?
if you are concerned with your health and lack the funds to see doctors, I believe that diagnoseme.com is a great place to start. Don’t expect the system to cure you, or even correctly diagnose you – but it can give you ideas to discuss with your doctor and even lead you toward which doctors and tests you should research.
Never Blindly Trust Doctors or Health Websites
You should always research doctors, symptoms and medications before deciding on a treatment plan that is right for you. I usually start on the internet, read some of the resources used by the particular website, then I round it off by looking though medical journals (at the library), and interview doctors and holistic practitioners. If you try this, you may be very surprised at the contradicting information that’s out there.
The web provides us with all this knowledge about our health. If we can fish through the contradiction, and take time to consider options — we can become our own best doctors.
