DIY health care

 Good morning. With the NHS seemingly unable to keep up with the demand for their services, why not check out some private health care providers. No need to wait for an appointment to come through from your doctors surgery, you can get on with your own diagnostics tests by signing up with any one of these providers. A few clicks and you can be on your way to discovering how your body is coping with the relentless doom and gloom we are currently being bombarded with. 

Anyone with diabetes knows the discomfort of having to repeatedly prick themselves with needles to measure their blood sugar . It causes pain , irritation and stress, and often takes time.

Hello, I am Tanja, 62, and I have been struggling with hypothyroidism, a slow thyroid, for over 10 years.

Keep in mind that your physical health can be directly impacted by what is being fed into your head, through your eyes and ears. Before you shell any money out for any of these miracle remedies, try adjusting your lifestyle. Incorporating more of the activities which give you most pleasure will help drive out the gremlins which have set up camp inside your head.
I hope you find this useful. The trolls which keep popping up here could do a lot to rid themselves of their poisonous thoughts.
I am happy to share this little nugget of wisdom with you. Yes this is a mickey take, yes it is sarcastic, but there is a smidgen of truth in it.
Have an absolutely brilliant Tuesday. See ya later. Toodle pip. ilona

  1. I use D-Mannose and found it very effective when I had an irritable bladder a few weeks back.

    2. As we also when we had to go privately to get a diagnosis for Keith, we used Spire Health Care, so these places do fill the gap when the NHS simply cannot cope. We were told for a year by our GP that Keith definitely didn't have Parkinsons . . .

    3. Confidence in the NHS to look after us is diminishing greatly. The funds they get are not being directly channeled towards patient care. Look at all the money that was spent on contracts to supply PPE. Michelle Mone's company which was set up to extract millions from the Government have now been ordered to pay back a substantial amount. With millions of £'s gone astray they now need to try and recover from that shambles. And they do it by contracting out a lot of the work to private companies, who will in turn charge for their services. The business model is to get patients to pay for their own healthcare. And to ensure a constant flow of cash coming in is to move patients onto self medication. Pill popping every day means you have a customer for life. Health care is a business, it's not about health.

    4. Hi
      Hope you don’t mind me commenting regarding alternative treatments. We had great success treating our Golden Retriever who was in kidney failure, with Astro’s Oil. Developed by a Canadian doctor for his own cat. We got an extra 20 months after the vet had given up. Works for cats too. Hope this helps someone. H

  2. I thought you'd been hacked for a minute.

    1. No not hacked. Just pointing out that I am getting bombarded with advertisements from companies offering alternative treatments to the NHS. They are not free. They come with a cost of course.

  3. I am annoyed by patients being treated differently according to where they live. Just to give a real life example, I took a family member for a health check recently and mentioned that he had a long-standing problem with his foot. The helpful nurse said she would ask the doctor for his advice. His advice was to pay to see a chiropodist. My best friend saw someone at her doctor's practice in London with exactly the same problem a week later. She was immediately given a small test and free treatment.
    I am also peed off that the NHS pays millions of pounds per year for interpreters for non English speakers whilst end of life hospice care is dependent on charities. I am not saying that interpreters shouldn't be available, just that they should be funded by the communities that need them.
    I always keep some D Mannose to hand after my daughter recommended it.

    1. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. My last experience of seeing a doctor was not helpful at all. His advice was drink more water. And as for interpreters, the NHS spends millions on this. So those coming into the country get free healthcare, whereas we have to pay for it. Something is not right there.

  4. The majority of the so called health tests which people pay for are a complete waste of time and simply cause more anxiety in the already anxious who then seek appointments with their GP for more tests for conditions they never had in the first place. When I worked in the NHS we’d refer to them as ‘the worried well’. As you rightly point out people would be better making lifestyle changes, exercising more and eating healthily than spending exorbitant amounts of money on tests that aren’t needed.

    1. Thank you for your common sense views. I have to agree with you. Anxiety and worry are the biggest killers. It's as if people have contracted out their health issues, and look to outside influences to sort out their problems. When the NHS pretends they have their patients best interest at heart, then offload their responsibility onto private companies, that should ring alarm bells. Patients then become customers, and to ensure they have a continuous income they have to step up their sales chat to keep them reliant on their prescribed treatment.

  5. hello Ilona, I suffer from Hashimoto (immune disease that affects my thyroid). my piece of adivice is to not understimate the symptoms that this illness can cause. I was extremely fatigued, sleepy, brain fogged and so slow mentally i was thinking I had early stage of Alzheimer. I gained 6.5kg in one month only but I was mistaken for a depressed/stressed person for 4 years. I would not recommend DIY tests for everything, though. You a need a doctor and proper blood tests for intolerances, diabetes etc. Then after a proper diagnosis, when possible, a good diet will be a HUGE part of the cure. If I may add, also diet should be properly balanced by a nutritionist. we are all different and we need to put down the right amount of proteins/fats/fibers that fits our current situation (who does sport is not the same as a much quieter person). i'm with you for not falling for all of this stuff...the risk is to be autoconvinced to have something when it's not the case.

    1. Thank you for your comment. I like this quote. . . .

      Doctors have a code of practice that they should be following. I wonder who regulates the tests and treatments that independent companies are offering. What qualifications do they have to set themselves up as therapists. A lot of people are sucked into believing what they see on a screen. Question everything.
