In my own personal experience, any infection a doctor
can not explain is labeled of unknown etiology but
offers a perspective of the most 'likely' cause of the
problem...........which is what Glenn's doctor did.
Sorry to hear of your being sick Glenn. Carla's post was
an excellent list of alternative health measures that could
promote your body healing itself.
I would like to add that there is nothing wrong with a second
or third opinion, especially when -->>
>>The Doc says based on experience in 80-90% of the cases
>>this is a viral infection and will last about a month. If
>>it persists longer I should begin a series of tests
>> for brain cancer.
I would be impatient at the prospect of an illness lasting a
month that *had not* been diagnosed adequately
especially when the bottom line might be cancer.......
I think the clue here is early detection......so not knowing
your doctor or what was done to find the cause of your
problem,
my gut instinct says run don't walk for that 2nd or 3rd
opinion!
Is there a homeopathic doctor where you live? We have one in
Cincinnati if you are close enough. Your own doctor should
refer you on to other specialists for 2nd and 3rd opinions!
If your doctor balks at the idea then you need a new doctor.
A doctor's first consideration should be the healing of the
patient and should be willing to call in as many opinions as
it takes to get to the bottom of a problem that will last a
month and might be cancer in the end!
much love and will be keeping you in prayer
