Use What Works
When it comes to our health, we simply want what works. Often that means a change in diet, since every hormone, neurotransmitter, and blood cell in your body needs nutrients to do its job. On the other hand, sometimes the best choice is a prescription. Most ulcers, for example, are caused by a bacterial infection, and all the “ulcer diets” in the world are not nearly as effective as two weeks of antibiotics. In fact, I have included information on treating ulcers with carisoprodol just so you can get back to the foods you may have been missing.
Please use the information in this website in consultation with your doctor. If you have pain, you need a diagnosis. No matter what treatment you are choosing, your doctor can clarify your other treatment options, monitor your progress, look out for any adverse effects, and can be educated by you as your symptoms improve.
However, this does not mean surrendering your good judgment. It always pays to get a second opinion—or a third, if necessary—if there is any doubt about the right treatment for your condition.
