HOLISTIC QUACK! Am i really crazying trying to cure things that possibly dont exist (placebo/psychosomatic)?

Joe L asked:


holistic diagnosis real? Its really making me crazy..

I was told from holistic doctors.
Just because their is no scientific proof of something causing an imbalance or affecting one person doesnt mean their isnt a problem with how one individual reacts to certain foods or elements. Its like chocolate might cause acne in people but their is no scientific evidence because it doesnt cause acne in everyone. But I get stressed since I dont know if holistics take things to the extreme.

I was told I have follow a strict candida diet(im skinny anyway) to avoid all FRUIT, all Processed food, Grains, Wheat, Dairy, Sugar, Caffeine. Artifical colours and flavourings, MSG, Certain Sulphur based foods and things like tomatoes and berries that have some certain acid (Based on feingold diet)..Then this vega machine said I had to avoid even more types of food…

I feel like im going crazy..
Other alternative doctors told me my amalgams actually leak mercury vapours which goes undetectable in the brain and cells not in BLOOD so tests cant show it. People have improved with removal and chelating. Are they really money robbers or do they genuinly beleive this is a problem? most of them told me to find a suitable dentist to remove them so they arent getting anything out of it so why diagnose it?

Another said I have thyroid and adrenal imbalances.my Saliva tests show adrenal fatigue and subclinical Underactive thyroid (hypothyroid). ( my blood work from norm doc had results just on the low borderline TSH 0.5 which is more hyperthyroid though?) Was also told some people can still have thyroid problems even if blood tests are in range and go on trial with bovine thyroid and people get better.

Was told my copper could be excess which is affecting thyroid and its hard to pick up excess copper with tests since its situated in cells not blood.
THAN another alt doc said im deficient in copper through vega testing an questioning of symptoms.

ALso another Alternative doc said I could have helicobactor pyroli in my gut since I get red cheeks and have heaviness in upper abs..Could be an ulcer but its not always their. could be breathing problems.

ANother one said I could have pyroluria and wanted me to do a test but it was too expensive…I am trying the supplements now though. Vitamins B6 (P5P most cant break down original form of B6 to active form)
High dose Zinc gluconate and manganese.

Also other holistics mentioned Hypoglycemia(but its not the same doctors say about chronic low level insulin) its reactive? does it really exist? why do people get better on it? PLACEBO? Essential fatty acid imbalances..
Histamine imbalances..

leaky gut, neurotransmitters imbalances(not at a major level) detected through blood plasma, urine analysis(amino acid therapy)..
Was also told that the roaccutane I took causes major problems…like dries up fatty acids in brain causing depression, people have developed psychiatric problems from anxiety to major depression just taking it.

How do you test for enzyme problems or difficulty breaking down or absorbing vitamins etc?

I was told from a normal doc I have anxiety and depression and slight panic disorder….he wants to give me meds but holistic doctors are telling me they are bad for you an dcause more problems and wont be cured and can cause serious long term effects on liver and other problems.

I cant concentrate. I am anxious and moody and all this holistic nonsense is making me worse because they are really making me beleive these are real problems when my doc said I should get Cognitive behavioural therapy…Toxins and all that isnt real and its likea placebo and treating things that dont exist and failing to find the root psychological cause.
My doctor doesnt agree with the diet adn said it can actually be more harmful and its like an eating disorder where they beleive you can only eat healthy foods…you should only worry about your 5 a day of fruit adn veg he said.
