[QUOTE="Steve50, post: 862301, member: 174164"] Brettsza I sense your frustration with your GP - but perhaps best not spend too much energy on trying to change his/her mind. Just show them the results you have achieved and let them work it out for themselves. They have spent a long time being trained in a particular way - to follow a particular line of thought and to enforce certain protocols - all acting genuinely in your best interest. They also have to participate in regular Continual Professional Development. GP's in England also have to spend time 'Reflecting' on their practice in order to be Revalidated (relicenced). I saw this video from the Diet Doctor web site [MEDIA=youtube]kaquSijXJkQ[/MEDIA] It shows you how doctors are conditioned to think - and how they come around to different ways of thinking. Of course to say 'doctors' is a broad generalisation - they are humans - and individuals - but there is an element of instiutionalised thinking and working that can - for some - limit their imaginations and open-mindedness - and risk taking. Information and education is the best route to changing thinking. Educate your GP through your own progress and test results - rather than be disappointed with them. After all you are in remission and past the point of needing their advice and treatment - but they are still a GP and need to learn how to treat others. [/QUOTE]
