Title: Alternative Cure Fod Kidney Failure: Quack Doctors
Post by: ceb3370 on November 05, 2012, 04:18:55 PM
n our country, We have alternative cure, Either Herbal or from Quack Doctors. The worst of my experience is where they insist me to drink this boiled leaves of guyabano juice, and i told them that im on my limit intake of water for the day, well guess what they are all angry and keep telling me this exact kind of words. "aw dili ka gusto maayo" (means so you don't like to be cured). I really hate them that time, who wants not to be cured? what i told them that if i drink more of that then i will suffer the consequences, but they are insisting and keep telling me that this is not water. (the guyabano juice), this is medicine so that you wont take dialysis anymore. Its a cure to make it short. Well to make them stop talking i drink it, and guess what in the midnight they called the ambulance to admit me to hospital. They were scold by my doctor. lesson learned.

That was from my first year as a patient, we really tried everything from herbal, quacks and from pray overs. But it still comes down to doctors advice. The sad reality is that it cant be cure unless we go for transplant.

As the saying goes here - If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck - it's a quack!
