I personally place the responsibility for my health in the hands of no man and have little confidence that there is anyone willing and or capable of putting forth the time and effort required to properly research my conditions and the available treatment options to the extent that I’m willing to for myself. Putting aside the historically proven incompetence of my current physician and assuming him to be a competent knowledgeable caring professional, the nature of treating the quantity of patients that any managed care physician has to treat leaves them with far less capacity (if any capacity at all) to research any given situation involving any given patient, than I have to research for myself, even factoring for educational differences. That’s not to say that my physician isn’t a valuable resource to me as that couldn’t be further from the truth, however while utilizing this resource I still feel it necessary to maintain complete control (to the greatest possible extent) every aspect of my healthcare. So to respond to your statement directly, no my doctor is not aware of my regimen. That being said however, I certainly have no intent of diminishing anyone’s confidence in their own medical professional’s capacity to treat their given condition nor do I intend to advocate my personal approach as being universally optimal.
