[Alert] Your Doctor is WRONG 88% of the Time!

I admit it diagnosis is hard – but not THAT hard.
After all, that’s what doctors – like myself– spend nearly a decade or longer learning how to do it.
But it looks like some mainstream physicians are getting it all wrong when it comes to your ailments.
In fact, a new study shows that 9 in 10 people who go for a second opinion get a second a new diagnosis.
And those who don’t? Well, they just might lose their lives…
Here’s how to stay safe.
In a recent study, researchers from the Mayo Clinic examined 286 patient records for people who decided to get a second opinion.
The researchers found that getting a second opinion only confirmed the original diagnosis 12 percent of the time.
This means mainstream docs are wrong 88 percent of the time!
After a closer look, the scientists found that 66 percent of the time patients received a refined diagnosis and 21 percent of the time they were diagnosed with something completely different during a second opinion.
Okay, but what does that really mean?
Doctors are not mistake-proof.
But more importantly, many drugs prescribed by your mainstream doctor have side-effects (some of which are deadly). Those side-effects are sometimes worth it if you are dealing with a serious disease.
But, what if you have been misdiagnosed… and you are taking the wrong drug?
Or worse, what if you have been misdiagnosed… and you are heading in surgery.
All of these scenarios could lead to permanent changes in your health, body, and life.
And that’s a risk no one should take.
That’s why you have to be your own health advocate. If you sense something is not right, or you have a confusing condition, then ALWAYS seek out a second opinion.
But you should also consider natural medicine before trying ANY drug.
The reasons are simple: natural medicine has far fewer side effects AND natural medicine works to make your body stronger – so what you are diagnosed with doesn’t matter as much.
