List all medications you take

That's really none of your business.  I'm under the care of excellent doctors.  Some are experts and one wrote the protocol for a drug I'm taking.  These professionals provide me with all the advice I need. 

I doubt that a purported (we have only your word) PhD in psychology knows enough about pharmaceuticals to help anyone.

It is not a Psy.D., dearheart. Some may actually want a second opinion, as is our right. I believe we are harming our health by skipping, jumping, and treading chemicals.

Seeking a second opinion is usually wise.  However, people need to seek advice from professionals with substantiated credentials.

Hi, I'm Jen and just posted on the other thread and I am not currently taking any medications.  Do you know of any herbal or anything healthy really that your body actually needs to cleanse itself, or is that a myth and I shouldn't bother?  I just started here recently so I am trying to count calories to between 1200 and 1300 a day and doing really well:)  but if there is something else I can do to speed up the process I'm all for it.  Ok, well hope I didn't ramble on too much about nothing really

thanks in advance---Jen

Is there an alternative to lactose so I can consume dairy?

If I take one, it works only half way, and if I take 2 I puke.

Excuse me, but asking for personal information is just creepy. I don't mean to be rude, but dr.-bill- is starting to majorly freak me out. That doen't mean you're not a good person n' such, but this is just weird.

please stop.

Which, I assure you, I do have. If one person tries me, the rest of you will build trust in me. Now, who goes first?

macroni, I think this is a forum where we try to build knowledge. We can talk about menstruation or the caloric intake of semen but a few words about the mistakes of taking pharmaceuticals is unnacceptable?

Hello Dr. Bill, while I can appreciate your willingness to be helpful and your enthusiasm wanting to jump right into it, I would like to suggest starting out slowly and getting to know the membership in the community. Again, I would like to point you to the walk-through feature:

I would like to positively suggest perhaps with the idea of adding members to your friends list and use the journal feature as a method of communication to invite members that are interested in your services. Good luck! 

Just a reminder that Calorie-Count.com is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always seek the advice of your regular physician or specialist if you have specific questions on your medications, diet, exercise regime, health conditions, or any other health matter.

ok, anyway------if people are "weirded" out then so be it that is their choice, but I for one have asked a question and don't mind giving some info.  Wheather or not it is a mistake is for me to find out. 

I'm not intentionally trying to be nasty or anything but if you don't want to ask ?'s then don't

Jen

I'm sorry to come off as rude. Please don't think I don't have respect for anyone. I was just unused to this type of discussion.

I apologize. Carry on as if I was never here...

But this way we can all discuss the solutions to our dietary intake. And yes, believe it or not, that little pill you swallow is a part of your diet, technically. So, lets ask ourselves WHY and TO WHAT GOOD? (or bad!)

LOL.. what kind of post is this?

What kind of doctor are you?  A real doctor would never do this.

Oops is taking Slimquick along with starting a new healthy eating/calorie counting diet considered medication?  Do you know anything about this pill?

Thanks----Jen

dr bill, are you here to drum up business or to lose weight?  If you want to know how to lose weight, people here can support and help you, and to welcome you into the group. 

and don't patronize me, or others.  We don't deserve that kind of treatment.

Hey Dr. Bill!! I have a friendly suggestion, if you would like to help contribute to the knowledge base here on Calorie-Count.com, I suggest writing some articles, which have always had great success. Here are some samples of original member contributed articles:

Getting a little uncomfortable here.  Erik - please keep an eye on this guy.

If he wants our trust, there's protocol to follow. 

Now, really, if you found a doctor to prescribe HC to you then you must not be one of the frauds. I know several doctors who will go the extra mile to make sure the patient isn't just setting them up for a lawsuit (in the sweet land known as California, there are the scammers). Dear, I am just so glad you are under the care of a real professional. I knew one former patient who had hyperthyroid and she went to a real quack who probably gave her problems to last a lifetime. Misdiagnosed her as bipolar and gave her HALDOL of all things. She was sick with akethesia for weeks.
