It's not only that a high level can have lots of causes, it's that cancer might not nudge it. I'm somewhat hopeful because my level has always been low (0.60) and declined to 0.35 I should have found another doctor.
I haven't seen a doctor for over four years when my told lung doctors told me there was nothing more they could do for me. I see a nurst practioner who is also train in genology, according to the letters following her name. I have found her to be more of a doctor to me (someone who has helped me cope) and has guided me through two boughts of severe pneumonia and a second heart attack. I am on what is called "Primary Home Health Care" with the VA. It's a preventive Program. I've told everyone I'll not go back to the hospital for any reason. So far this NP has kept me churning.
After walking away from 2 arrogant urologists seeking help for a bladder stone, I told my doctor I was gonna make a 3rd try. He put in another referral and this time I got an LPN. She put me on Flomax and discovered the prostate nodule...none of the 3 MDs did this. AND she actually listened to me. I told her this would have been addressed a long time ago if the doctors had a fraction of her thoroughness and professionalism. Our health care system would be so much worse if it were not for nurses.
I remember a problem I had with my family doctor. I had trouble breathing and coughing. I went to my doctor and he told me it was nothing just go home and rest. Sunday night I could feel bubbling in my chest. I went to emergency at the hospital my Doctor was on duty he listen to my chest and said it was nothing just go home. I told him that I had a problem he finally said well the x-ray was closed but come back in the morning and get an x-ray. Next morning to the hospital for an x-ray. The took the x-ray and looked at it and next I knew I was in an isolation room in the hospital. They had to have masks to enter the room and left their gowns and even the stethoscope in the room. They did not know what it was they took a lung tap which was very uncomfortable after about a week I started feeling better in the mean time my doctor went of vacation so I had an internal specialist. The next week I was getting a little board and feeling better. My doctor returned and I ask when can I leave he said another week I told him I feel good and ready to go. He told me no so I told him I had to convince you I was sick and now I am telling you I am well. So after a little discussion he told me he would release me tomorrow. To days later I got a letter from the doctor and said he has too many patents and he has to let some go but he would rec-amend a doctor for me.
That's horrible. It's insane. What I've encountered recently tells me that there are a whole bunch of people who go to the doctor and don't question a darn thing. That's why I liked the one I had for over 25 years...he liked engaged patients. It seems that doctors these days don't want you plugging up the line. Just do as you're told and get out of the way for the next funding container.
There is something to find. The Truth. Vega testing, or perhaps testing by experienced kinesiologist's or naturopathic trained health professional (all these outside the regular protocols in the usa). The alternative testing I've seen is never resulting in unknown nor inconclusive results - each time the test reveals what is causing various things, or what is lacking (a deficiency) resulting in things like hart troubles, sthma attacks, headackes and so on and so forth... Usually if not always, only one or two visits is needed, at least to accurately identify what can help, naturally.... ...and when the routine tests have not shown what is out of place or unbalanced, and especially when repeating the routine tests continue not making anything new available, especially as to what to do... then it is 'a miracle' (for some), to find another simpler way, more accurate, and more helpful, and less harmful....
fwiw, (and seeing you know about colloidal silver, etc...), I expect the lung tap was un-necessary - and have heard and seen some natural practitioners who could tell you more via a phone consultation and , if needed, some tests thru the mail (or fedex/etc) service. All it takes is knowing who to look for, to find these "first of all , do no harm" practitioners..... (although there may be some areas where no one local is available ) ...
You are your best doctor. Doctors do not know your sick until you tell them. Knowledge makes you a better doctor. The only way we have healthy wild animals is they can not afford doctors.
