I am in agreement with you. I can't even put into words my distaste for mainstream medicine. The thing that gets me about drs is that they have no clue how the body works on a holistic level. Their mantra is either "cut and remove" or "prescribe an rx". No other options. They never want to investigate what actually CAUSED the problem in the first place. They never listen to your concerns and feel that since they went to medical school they and they alone have the answers. How could someone like you - the patient - even have an ounce of brain matter to comprehend medical issues. I could go on indefinitely.
I actually had a nurse practitioner in my gyn office tell me that if I did not go on HRT I would shrivel up like a prune. That was almost 10 years ago. I haven't shriveled up and I will never return to that office or any other mainstream medical office again.
And yeah, to all of us with AF in any stage, the best course of action at the moment is to try to ignore and remove yourself from the situation. I know sometimes this does not bode well for ones mental status ie feeling helpless or mad because you can't defend yourself, but in the long run saving your adrenals is the most important thing. Those type of people will get theirs eventually from someone else.
