Anyone care to respond to this thread?

[shelley]

Strawberry is shocked and amazed that anyone would go to me for advice. Perhaps those of you who have found help here could say something.

Here's the thread:

All in all I think they're having a very fair argument about me.

[AgnesT]

YOU BETCHA I'll post!

Does it feel funny to be talked about that way??

[seraph69]

There will always be critics but you just gotta stand up for what you beleive in. You have taught me this as well as so much more. Thank you for everything

[Doolange]

Shelley, over the years I have learned more from people like you than anybody else. I used to suffer from a host of health problems, one of them being mood swings. I was getting depression and anxiety off and on for years and not even the alternative health care "practioners" helped me. I asked you and you told me about Julia's tinctures and cleaning my liver. That is the first thing that ever made a difference. You know more than a lot of doctors because I have relatives that are doctors and friends that are doctors. They really don't know as much they think they do and certainly not as much as you do IMO. If the doctors knew half of what you do, than the drug companies would not be running our country like they are. More people than not are on some sort of drug to lower something!!!

You are a tremendous help to people and one of the things I have learned in life is to ignore those people. Everyone has a right to their opinion and if they feel you don't help people than it is their lost. I know in my heart you help a lot of people. You know your stuff. I wouldn't even bother reading those posts. People can be hurtful and may cause you to doubt yourself and what you are doing. My vote is for everyone to ignore it. I have better things to do with my time than to argue with them. Everyone here at "Ask Shelley" knows how valuable your time is and if I am going to spend time reading or answering posts it is here where I know it is productive and possibly helping someone. Keep up the good work. Those people don't know what they are missing.

Hi Shelley,

You have sooo much insight and a Beautiful giving heart......
I concure with Doolange, keep your dignity...

Organized religion aside, Shelley.
Here`s a principle I have learned to love;

Proverbs 19:11 ....."The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, and it is beauty on his part to pass over transgression."

Just Caring and Sharing.

Such nonsense strawberry speaks. If only she knew the people that Shelley has helped. :sigh:

[Rosnor]

Shelley, those that criticise in such a way, are ignorant. Would rather go to Drs. because of their qualifications??! Drs. harm more people than they cure, because of the toxic drugs they dish out. The people that know, come here, and get good, sound advice given in a friendly way. I have registered on that site, so that I can post a reply

Shelley,

I wouldn't even sweat that girl.. she's just bored, pickin her teeth or something. Then it turns into some big discusion as if there is some kind of substance to all of that.

It's all about results.. bottom line.

It's common knowledge (or should be) that Dr.s are only good for "diagnosis" because honestly at least in my expierence that's all they have been good for. I literally had one doctor almost kill me once. Seriously. That's all it took for me.. I was done from that day forward. Done..

What's the use of going to someone who is called a Dr. if all thier taught has a hidden agenda behind it anyhow?

These people can send a flyball 15 billion miles out to god knows where but can hardly cure the common cold without it becoming disease negotiation?

It's kinda like i'll take care of the pain but I gotta trade you for nausea, dizziness, drymouth, and symptoms so sick I won't even mention. Crazy.


Shelley attracts people magnetically for a reason.. this whole forum just didn't happen by accident.

I was at the point where I had just assumed the issue's I had were just stuck with me for good. I spent 8 years and thousands (not to mention my time) chasing Dr's whom all looked at me half cock eyed when I explained what was wrong. They all blamed it on depression. You right I was depressed- because I felt like #$^% all day. NOT the other way around. Again I was at the point were I actually thought I was doomed. ALL those years..

Until I found this forum..

Until I found Shelley..

From the very first post she immediatly put me on the right path and I know im on the right path. I can FEEL it. Results. Plus this goes so far beyond just me. I was recommended by another person whom she helped.

Results people... Not diploma's.

What's that worth to me?

Honestly..

If sent her a wire for $10,000 tonight I would STILL feel like I was ripping her off!!

I read the post on the other site and am wondering if my posting a reply there would have any influence on someone who feels a couple of letters after a person's name is what matters most.

I have been following Shelley's boards for several years now, she has been an invaluable source of knowledge not to mention compassion.

I was sick for six years, chronic fatigue, fibro, MCS, candida, adrenal fatigue, all kinds of fun things that not one person with an "MD" or "PHD" after their name had even the slightest clue about. I had top of the line health insurance and saw the best docs in the business, specialists, etc.

I was tossed drugs to mask symptoms...."So, you can't sleep? Here's a sleeping pill." Don't bother to mention that after keeping me on a high dose every night for a year and a half, that a benzo is harder to come off of than heroine. But, the doc put me in the hospital to get off the pills after I requested to be off them since they provided little help and...they took me off in one day. Maybe it was amusing for the doc who ran the program to watch me go through withdrawls, either way, when I said I felt worse a few months later, it was MY fault. Actually, it was the beating my adrenals took during the withdrawls, the same adrenals that were already spent which is why I was too thin and the doc said I had an eating disorder.

Six years, over 30 doctors, no help unless helping is to hear, "I don't know what's wrong with you" or "it's all in your head" or "take this if pill, if you can't take it, I can't help you."

It took a person who had no degree but understood what the problems were, albeit not Shelley, I had to have extensive work done in an office. Before then and since then, I have come to Shelley many times for advice and not once was I disappointed or told it was in my head or I had to live with it. I was told why something was happening and how to fix it, a huge relief when you lived life for years without answers.

I respect some doctors, there are some very good docs that know their field of expertise, unfortunately, mine problems weren't ones they understood. You can have book smarts, spend the time in class but that doesn't mean you know everything, that "MD" or "PHD" means you spent a lot of time in school but, it doesn't mean you can help everyone.

For those that don't have a closed mind, all the better for them to get well, if that means combining the knowledge from those like Shelley. My thanks to Shelley for all she has done for so many people, for those who want the letters following the name, you're only limiting your chances of achieving wellness.

I agree with everyone.

I don't know where and what condition I'd be in if it wasn't for Shelley. She is just one those people that are dedicated to HELPING people. If her advice wasn't good, then why does she have so many followers. It's because she KNOWS HER SHIT, and people have the results to prove it. I hope I can thank her in person one day.

[Rosnor]

Shelley, I hope you are not too annoyed/upset by the post on the other forum. Just look at the responses our forum members have written here (and some there as well). You are really appreciated by us all, and I for one would really hate to think of this worrying you unduly.

[namqch]

I love you Shelley!

[alexcena]

Hi Shelly and Other Postersl,

Like many, I have suffered at the hands of western medicine . I applaud the advice and help you provide Shelly...advice that is sorely needed for people whom have tried every avenue of western medicine.

Thank you!!!!!

[pinkcat]

Shelley!

To heck with what people say. There are always going to be people who don't agree with you (or with me). You can't save the world.

You've helped me a lot and I thank you for it.

This philosophy is very true and seems to apply to this subject well.
