So unusual to see a doctor who is compassionate, empathic and sees a patient as a person. Patients know a lot about their condition but how often doctors have time or wish to listen? Team work between doctor and patient should be standard. Thank you, dr Isaacs!
It used to be the standard until the US government got involved & came ul with HMO' & PPO'S. This has slashed payments to doctors by up to 3/4. Unfortunately, it now takes seeing 1 patient every 4 minutes just to break even with rent, payroll, supplies, malpractice insurance etc. Doctors try their best under impossible conditions.
Watched this while sitting on a bench dedicated to Nicola Wetz at Anglesey Abbey. Sat down, spotted the memorial plaque and googled her. Brave, strong woman; good, determined doctor
I wish that every physician was as caring, knowledgeable, + open with patients + the public as you are. Sounds like you, + your colleagues have done amazing work for those afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis. Ever think of changing your speciality to Psychiatry....just for a bit!☺️
There’s a great little book on natural healing written by an older man who cured himself of a number of maladies without medical intervention, called My Physician, Myself. I read it a couple of years ago but lost my copy. I’m going to Amazon right now to order one and be more careful with it. It’s more than worth the read. You might look into the work of Luigi Cornaro, a Venetian nobleman who lived to be 102.
My son has psoriatic arthritis and was using Humira. Then he tried a auto-immune paleo diet and he no longer needs the Humira. Dietary changes can certainly work for some patients. It's not an easy diet to follow but it's certainly worth trying to get off some of those drugs that can also have terrible side effects over time. And the expense of Humira is outrageous. Who can afford it. Buying better food is certainly cheaper!
There is a cure. I cured myself with a plant based diet and bile acid supplementation. Search "bile acid", "cure" and "Psoriasis". Doctors need to stop treating people and start curing them.
What a lovely humble man. Unfortunately, he is worlds apart from the many specialists and doctors I have seen in the past, most were arrogant know- it- alls who were more into the "telling game" than the listening one; I wish I had a dollar for every time I was told I shouldn't or couldn't be having the reaction I was to a drug or that my symptoms didn't make sense, or to go from it was "all in my head" to literally- code blue! I mostly sorted my immune system and body out with diet and supplements, healing my gut and by removing obvious causes of stress in my life ( which also includes allergens etc). I don't believe that drugs alone are the answer, however, if you are going through an acute phase you do whatever you can to make it better, I certainly owe my life to them. NO ONE knows their body like a highly attuned patient. No, they are NOT depressed just because they have symptoms, yes, what they are feeling IS REAL - symptoms often show up BEFORE it is confirmed in blood work or other tests. If I could add anything it would be - Doctors, PLEASE listen to your patients, put your prejudice aside, say you don't know if you don't, and work with us too hard to figure out patients - it is already hard enough. And NO you don't know what it's like, my ability to deal with pain and life-threatening discomfort is through the roof, so if I am saying I'm a 10 it's enough to drop an elephant.
Very well said and I agree with you. Far more can be achieved in any relationship by both sides in discussion rather than one talking down to the other. I am an emphysema patient.
Xpand2infinity What condition do you believe you have? I ask because you say you reacted to drugs, obviously I’m seeing things through my lenses but I can totally relate to your experiences with doctors. I started having very serious reactions to pretty much everything I ate. I felt utterly poisoned and it was the most stressful time of my life, not just because of what I was physically going through but more because of the total dismissal from doctors. I was told by one consultant in hospital that I was psychosomatic and given antidepressants to take home. I was in despair so took them but ended up having a severe reaction to them. On other occasions I was told I’m a mystery! That was the most frightening part, that people I previously have faith in were writing me off. This went on for years until I finally saw an allergist who had heard it all before from his patients and he diagnosed me with histamine intolerance. Over time I now believe it’s probably a mast cell disorder but like you, being very careful with diet is really helping. It’s so sad that most doctors are not like this one, most cause so much upset on top of an already upsetting and scary time. I hope you’re doing well now?
With auto-immune disorders among other uncommon (now realized to be more common than what was once thought) issues, I am so incredibly tired of hearing "You look better than my patients who are half your age." So what! I'm exhausted and struggling. Something is wrong and I need help getting better! Finding a doctor who will actually listen and not respond with that has been like finding a needle in a haystack. I'm starting to wonder if it's not written in my chart and successive doctors just parrot it. 🙄 This doctor is wonderful!
I love doctors that don't stop asking questions! This man truly is a scientist. In dealing with my own health issue, I met a woman who stopped diagnosed Autoimmune Kidney disease with Low Dose Naltrexone. I spoke with the doctor in Vancouver Canada, he confirmed it's not a magic pill, but he uses it with his AI kidney patients. She went from heavy, expensive drugs, to this super cheap off label drug. The only side effect I have heard of is Vivid Dreams. I think autoimmune is gut bacteria driven!
I listened with interest. Then thought it strange that so much effort was directed in the wrong direction to cure rheumatoid arthritis. There was no mention of the diet that’s consumed to cause it. Clint Paddison is an Australian who was living with this terrible disease and changed his diet and his condition. It’s all about the food!! If I had rheumatoid arthritis I would be looking up the Paddison program.

What the doctor does not realize is that the inflammation is and down stream affect of the lifestyle of the patient. This man is very well meaning but it is very much focused on treating the symptoms which is the mistake of most doctors. Epigenetic’s & Bruce Lipton is so the man to study around the vast majority of diseases that manifest not by genetics but in gene signaling through lifestyle over many years. We have been outsourcing our health to do doctors for to many years and let’s face the truth about the drugs is that the vast majority of the time they are actually falsely giving an improvement mainly through the placebo affect of taking the drug that usually cost a lot of money and also ruins the patients liver etc and eventually tends to kill them. There are obviously situations where there is no other option than to go the drug route, but I would suggest way less than the situations that are happening presently. The neuroplasticity of our Brains being tricked by the system. Let’s bring back the power to our selves and realize we are responsible for our our health. Take control of your own choices of lifestyle amongst the abundance of modern living. Joe Dispenza ‘breaking the habit of being yourself’ will eventually when practiced regularly eventually dig you out of the materialistic hole that society has sent you down, where life has turned your intelligent body against yourself. Mind over matter is where this starts and ends. I wish everyone well on there journey of love and happiness and would finally add that if you listen to near the end where he says before you get sick!! Realize that before you get to him or someone else of that mindset in the field and business of ‘curing’ that you are the one that can can control a lot more than you realize. Meditate every day and be grateful you don’t need a doctor to be in control of your personal health, it saved me a lot of money and I have never been healthier. X
I worked 29 years for Newcastle University. I suffered MS for most of this years. The University we’re very tolerant of my limitations but helped only as far as the law said they must do legally. My MS consultant is at the RVI, just above where I worked within walking distance for a fit person. Mainly they do what they can, what NICE says they can support us with, if we fit into the docket hole of their paperwork. I’m retired now, they told me, you’ve had MS too long, your too old and by the way your MS has moved on, you won’t get the new treatment and are unlikely to get a cure unless one pops up in the next five years before you reach 65. So NHS do create miracles very important and very vital of course. But most like me are likely to be written off, given tertiary care. He was very cruel to tell me by post rather than face to face. I’ve been let down badly the NHS.
Professor John, is there a way I can get in touch with you? There is a development in auto-immune diseases I would like to discuss with you. Respectfully yours, 21st. Century Medicine
homoeopathy has a great scope in treating diseases like RA , the whole concept of homoeopathy is based on the science of individualisation , where the fundamental cause is treated , ie correcting the immune system mechanism that has gone wrong.
Yup, many auto-immune diseases sufferers come in an seemingly endless remission if they exclude all animal products from their diet, and switch to a divers and complete in nutrients, whole plant food diet.
*Ohoooooo.. Doctors and big pharma sure did change my life oh yes they did they changed it.. But I am still waiting and hoping for my critical thinking skills to return that they destroyed with pills*
