Dr. Robert Whitfield explains why doctors sometimes dismiss patients as crazy: many clinicians lack exposure to certain conditions. He listens for detailed histories about travel, work, environment, and diet to find genetic and environmental patterns instead of jumping to diagnosis.
I want everybody to understand you're not crazy. So I think what I would like people to understand is the symptoms, the problems, or the frustration you've experienced from providers is, I would say, not uncommon. Now, most providers are not gonna be able to sit across from you and have that discussion because they don't understand it. They haven't seen enough of it. Electrophab is a sport of repetition. You get better with time. And I don't listen to people to make a diagnosis, to give them a prescription. I listen to people to understand their exposures through their travel history, work history, living history, diet, Through that, you can listen and understand their genetics, patterns of inheritance of certain genes. So I want everybody to understand, you're not crazy, you're not losing your mind.
