I lost faith in medical doctors in 2020. I think they are brainwashed in medical school and it’s hard to change their minds. I would see if there is a Lyme disease specialist somewhere nearby. My personal experience with doctors made me resort to eating a no sugar, low sodium, no processed foods, and as organic as possible, diet. I was taking medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. For the last year, I have been off all prescription meds. I use foods for medicine and it has worked for me. By the way, I refused the Covid shot. I was exposed several times but never got the virus. I am 77 years old and feel better than I have in years. 💕🙏🏼
Yes I'm sure you know much more about Lyme disease than your doctor does. He most likely knows next to nothing about it, that's what it sounds like. I would definitely give up on him and find someone who deals with that disease in Alaska.
Yes primary care MDs are few and far between that even believe in Lyme disease. I have been through this whole process and as a nurse I was very ashamed at how the medical field make people feel about their disease. And since Covid it is even worse. I was lucky to have a holistic MD who started my care but it still took years to get to the bottom of it all.
@rondar960 I am a retired RN too and yes, since covid I'm very ashamed of the medical industry. I am happy I'm no longer attached to it. I'm upset with my pri.ary care doctor for wanting us to take the poison shot but neither I nor my husband would. So happy now that we didn't though many in our family did. I warned my family against it but half the kids took it anyway. My husband's daughter works for Cooks Children's hospital and they mandated her to take it so she did. Also my older daughter thought I was crazy and took the shots as soon as she could. So far everyone is OK but we know they are ticking time bombs.
This is what is wrong with many doctors in this country. They do not listen to their patients and think they know it all based upon medical degree. So annoying. Glad you are advocating for yourself. Ugh. Praying for you!
They make you think you’re crazy and a person knows their own body and you’re so right that doctors don’t listen and it makes so hard to find the right doctor!!!
I think ur on track Tina, truly believe u will be alright.God is helping u.love Parker swimming with the dog. What a dog, swimming all over with him. LOL. Also ur moose shots. Love ur additions, all everything u are doing. Much love for all. God bless you.
Nothing beats a holistic doctor! I had a routine colonoscopy about 10 yrs ago. I had 26 polyps. At a follow up appt the doctor suggested doing surgery to remove that section of the colon ( keep in mind they were not cancerous). I immediately found a holistic doctor who has treated me ever since. I now have ZERO polyps with his treatments!! Stick with your holistic doctor who immediately knew what your issue is! ❤
I am so sorry your doctor's response was terrible. I hope the second round of testing provides the answers the doctor needs! If not, maybe it is time to find a new primary care doctor. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Doctor's don't want to be proven wrong and they definitely don't to be corrected . Period!!! Dont give up Tina God's got your back he didn't bring you this far to give up on you. You are a fighter in the name of Jesus ❤
Hi, Tina I have no doubt that the Lord put your thumbnail up on my feed. I agree with you 💯. I hate going to the Dr for all the same reasons you have shared. My baseline BP is on the lower side. By the last time I went to the Dr it was the highest it’s ever been. Anyway I’m sure God answered my prayers for the right provider for me. She is a functional medicine provider and I absolutely love her. Not gonna go into all the details right here but as a result of Covid pneumonia in late 2020 I am now disabled with several chronic illnesses. You are a breath of fresh air. I’ve subscribed and will join you on your journey. 🕊️
Hi Bernadette! Welcome to our channel. I’m so glad you finally found some answers. Searching for answers is the hardest part with chronic illness. Finding the root cause so you can get on a path to recovery! Thanks for subscribing.🫶🏻
It is sad that the medical community does not want people well. Most want your insurance/ money. It's disgusting! To you, Tina, and family, may the Lord bless you and keep you always. Keep walking in FAITH. God is faithful! Nothing is impossible for those who believe. ❤
As an ER nurse, I was not surprised at this Dr.s reaction. Sorry to say that I have seen this a majority of the time. Keep searching for a Dr. that is open and willing to discuss integrative medicine- I know you are limited with your location. I now seek alternative and holistic treatments whenever possible. It is embarrasing to be a part of this profession at times, especially since 2020. I have a child who has been permanently damaged by "medical treatment" and that has opened my eyes to the pitfalls of Western medicine. I applaud you for taking the alternative path and healing yourself. I would recommend watching Justin Rhodes channel as he has chronic Lyme and discusses his journey and treatments often. I wish you all the best on your healing journey!
Totally agree, I have been with a natural doctors for the last 2-1/2 years just due the fact, I had some very bad experiences with the doctors in the western medical system for my entire life. I am praying for you.
Probably need to consider changing PCPs. I always told my patients they need to feel comfortable with their primary and have good communication with them. Nothing wrong with "shopping around." It's incredibly important when something is impacting your quality of life in a significant way. You're strong Tina, you'll get through this. Dock looks awesome. Has Parker every gotten a leach on him? UGH.
Tina my husband kept having diarrhea and losing weight. He lost 60 lbs in 6 weeks. After a few months I threw a tantrum in the doctors office and told them something had to e done. He never did the stool sample test but said he didn’t have C-Dif. I requested the stool sample and it came back positive. He put him on strong antibiotics for 2 months. The doctor apologized to me and my husband is a much better man. Stick up for yourself because they are humans not God as some of them think. I have 100% confidence in you girl. Love you and your family
Every time I see him in the pond I worry about gators then I remember that I’m still in the south and you’re not. LOL. Just instinct… livin’ in Florida for 54 yrs 😳🥰😍
Wow Tina. You’re not alone in things like this these days. It’s sad is what it is. A darn shame that we have to fight for what we know is right. I’m to trying to see the good in people that are supposed to help you when all they do is say you’re wrong. I’m so sorry. You’re super strong my friend. You’ve got this! If you’re not happy. I would definitely go elsewhere. I’ve had to do this before. ❤. Take care. I know things will get better. Take care. Hope you find relief. Great job on the new build. Love where this is going!
If it's like Ireland its impossible to get a new doc. Docs are now the same the world over unfortunately. Ivwould rather not go at all to my local doc and just attend the hospital
@@lorrainebrady4814 I just changed PCP it was a pain but I am glad I did. it sad to me as someone who works in health care. no one should have to go through this. Herbalist and PCPs can work so well together and make a word of different to a patient.
@lorrainebrady4814 Here in the United States we can change doctors whenever we like. however being in AK I'm sure her options maybe limited. it also can depend upon the insurance they have and what providers are available in their insurance network.
Congratulations on the goats Tina❤Probably you already know but wanted to put here for others as well. Goats food must be different from sheep food. Goats need copper in their diet. Sheep must not have copper. 🐐 Best wishes ❤
Tina at the time that I was diagnosed with Diabetes I was so devastated. That was 2 years ago at 77 years old. Never been sick except for minor things. Went to doctor once a year for my annual. It was so hard to accept. Total life style change at an advanced age. I was so down. A friend said to me, you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. How true. So I put on my big girl panties and have adjusted so much in my life but all is well. In January 2024 I had surgery for melanoma. Again I’m dealing with it. I’m so sorry about all you are going through. But be strong and don’t let anything or anyone win. Kick butt and stand tall. You are awesome and one of God’s children. He’s always there for you and me.
Tina and Joe the homestead is looking beautiful. Thanks again for taking us through your day. Tina you are in my prayers. Stay strong my dear friend. Blessings and prayers.
Tina, I'm assuming you have military insurance, Tricare. We have Tricare Prime, when we've had medical problems with doctors, or techs giving tests we've immediately contacted Tricare (our insurance), and explained the situation. They immediately sent us to someone else. Maybe calling your insurance company would help the situation. Just a thought. I'm proud of you for standing your ground with this doctor. Don't let him intimidate you in any way. You know something is medically wrong because you haven't been feeling well. You have the blood workup, and tests from your Natural Medicine Doctor. It will be interesting to see what results the Alaska doctor comes up with. I'd compare the results from both doctors. Keeping you in my thoughts, and prayers. Nice dock Joe!
Tina. Tina.Tina. Doctors! Are you really surprised? I totally get what happened to you. I've been in that scenario before!!! I admire the fact that it made you even more determined to find a cure, not defeated. 😘
Tilly & Frankie are so cute! Sarah will always be the baby. Your raised bed veggies r looking good! Oh my, that pier is going to be awesome!🎉 Joe is a genious!!! God bless him. Joe is better than gold!!!
Tina, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ll be checking myself and my family more closely in future - especially my grandchildren who are avid outdoor boys. Take care and don’t get too overwhelmed. Wish I could have a cup of coffee with you on the new deck!😍🇨🇦
With God ALL things are possible. Pray and put your primary doctor in God's hands. Short videos are better than NO ciders. Enjoy the summer. Baby steps honey, baby steps. Much love and prayers for the Watson family.
I am so sorry you are facing this, but you are a warrior, you got this!!!! People that are Celiac, need to get new cooking pots and utensils, etc, etc, etc.... and be super more careful with cross contamination and so forth. For the gluten sensitive, none of that is needed. Just to avoid eating gluten. I am super duper, gluten sensitive. My step-daughter is Celiac. It is a big change at first, but then it will be a lot easier and becomes automatic.
Hello from Sweden Europe! Thanks fore all your 5☆☆☆☆☆+ UA-cam videos, youst love them all! Please keep it up! If it whas a Alfred Nobel price in parenthood, you got it 100% sure! You are fantastic parents! Best Regards Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe ❤❤❤ to love fore freedom! 😊😊😊!
Hi Tina, Joe and Parker, hope you’re feeling better Tina from the last video. What a beautiful day there the wild flowers are so pretty. Little dock on the pond will be nice and handy for swimming for Parker and the dogs. That’s the problem doctors don’t believe in the holistic way at all, I have the same problem here. It’s a shame, both sides could really help in a big way if they could work together. I think the natural way is fantastic. I keep my sugar in check the natural way and it works good. Take care guys, enjoy your videos. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
My daughter is gluten free as she has celiac disease and she has figured it out. It did take time but it can be done and you don’t have to use two sets of pans that’s crazy. She doesn’t and she is totally fine. You will get there it’s trial and error. Best wishes!
Hello to The Watsons. Tina I am praying for you and your family(I was crying my eyes out on the last video with you) God is GREAT and you will get the help you need. I am touching and agreeing with you and i LOVE you guys❤❤❤❤
I waited six months in AK for a bipap machine. Flew back to TX and got it in one day. Feels like we are on the edge of the world sometimes. I am so grateful to God I got one. I have a partial paralyzed diaphram; if I do not use the bipap at night I will loose lung function. However, my husband has been ill for forty years and has slowly found how to cope and est in a way that works for his body. We have some medical answers but not all of them. We even have medical insurance but still have to fight for answers and care. I thank God my husband and I have each other and my grown children.
I hate it when Drs don’t listen & are proud. We have to do our own research. I’ve been the guinea pig for the docs & had the tests & procedures infinitum before they found hypothyroidism. Now I just fired my primary bc he admitted he wouldn’t give me the rests I need bc he doesn’t know how to interpret them. So we must be our own advocates & keep researching. I’m in the midst of a journey to balance my hormones with a brand new endocrinologist. I’m a UA-camr too with a small channel. I support you. I’m s brand new subscriber. Great docs learn from their patients & stay humble & compassionate. They don’t just push meds & not know anything about nutrition.
Because I'm sure you need one more thing to research... (Kidding) Ledums protocol. I am never without a bottle of step one and step two. Keep on hand for the fellas!
You may consider adding avacados to your diet if theyre available. They are a powerhouse when it comes to fighting inflammation. May God Bless And Heal you 🙏🙏🙏.
Hi Tina I had the same reaction from my doctor when I had to go private for tests that showed I had MS my doc said he didn't except that I had MS and wanted to do his own tests.. It's an ego thing with GP's I think.. they don't like to be proven wrong and certainly not from a higher qualified doctor plus think the fact that we dare go behind there back to another source.. I could write a book about my treatment by my doctor..I could have sued and I think that crossed his mind because the way he is with me now is as different as night and day.. I wouldn't have sued because what is done is done and no amount of money would make me better..my husband and I live simply out in the countryside with our few animals and close family nearby who help us...watching your channel helps keep my mind off the pain and other chappy things. So I thank you and your family for that 🙏 ❤..love from Ireland
It’s a pride thing for that Dr. he can’t admit he was wrong and missed it. I wonder how many other patients of his he has misdiagnosed? Thank goodness you look into things for yourself. ❤Stay strong Tina God has your back
I’m dealing with a debilitating issue as well, one of those hidden struggles that people can’t see. I’ve been to countless doctors, but none have been able to help. The common response is 'there’s nothing we can do, you just have to live with it.' Even my sister, who’s a doctor, says the same thing. It’s hard to have faith when it feels like they’re just repeating what they’ve been taught without considering other possibilities. I haven’t been to a doctor in nearly 10 years now, left to endure this struggle alone. It’s as if you’re just another number, and after you, they’re onto the next patient. Some of us might not have a solution, but it would be nice if they at least tried.
You stay strong Tina... I worked for doctors for 15 yrs and not every problem is routine. I found out I had a skin disease that causes me to be allergic to the sun. This is after Melanoma was found on my back. I grew up in Ca. Surfing soccer living at the beach couldnt understand why I was burning very bad getting huge blister while using sunblock. I happened to find the right doctor and found out I had Xeroderma Pigmentosum at 33. Keep doing your research and you will find a PC that will listen and work with you and your herbal medicine.
Tina, you’re such an inspiration! I love your attitude and your outlook on life. The good Lord will help you get through this difficulty. Hang in there! Love you and your family! Joe is such a hard worker! Does he ever rest? Parker looked so happy swimming in the pond. I love your new babies! They’re precious and so is Sara!
I was also contacted by the Department of Health when my labs came back positive for Lyme. And made sure I received care and followed up with me a few times. Keep advocating and standing your ground with him. If he continues with this behavior you may want to find a different doc. Keep positive, get lots of rest as that’s when our bodies heal when we sleep and lots of prayers going up 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏😊
Hi Tina, Watson family. My husband and I have been following you since you were in the apartment shortly before Joe’s retirement. ( thank you both for your service) May God continue to bless you and your family. You’re a better person than me. I would have walked out of that dr’s office. He’s wasting more of your time and money ordering the same tests. I would say definitely fine another doctor. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You’re in our prayers. Jesus loves you. God bless you all ❤❤❤
I've been there Tina with my doctor not listening to me about my health. Stick with your holistic doctor. Praying for divine healing of your body from the crown of your head to the very soles of your feet in the mighty name of Jesus Amen.. speaking many blessings into your life into your families lives God has you will guide you threw all of this Amen .he has a plan for your life Tina hang in there friend i love you take care God bless!!
This is a major reason I don't go to doctors! My good friend suffered so long before being diagnosed with Lyme Disease! No one listened! I am so glad you are putting this out there!
We went through the very thing your going through with our daughter for years. Countless doctors before and after the diagnosis.Contracted Lyme in Virginia running the trails ended up having to come home to PA for us to take care of her she was bed ridden for a time. What we did learn was that the antibiotics they try giving you just drives the Lyme deeper into your system to escape the antibiotic. The holistic approach was the best route we found for her. There is hope and she is now running her trails again and going to the gym. Praying that you will find the help you need to start feeling better.
Tina, it will take you up to 6 months to go completely gluten free. And, my family eats what I eat, very rarely do they eat regular gluten. My husband does, it’s bread because he takes a sandwich everyday for lunch, other than that, everything else is gluten free. And, once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. When you go out to eat, ask for a gluten free menu. On Facebook and instagram, there are many groups to join to help you. You are going to have no issues at all. I have a lot problems, Hashimoto’s is one of them. I take something for it, I’m allergic to wheat, and I have cut my sugar and carbs way down. That has helped my thyroid tremendously! I’m praying for you, Tina❣️🙏🏻
I’m so jealous of being able to swim and not worry about swamp puppies and snakes 😂. I really, really hope you’re able to find a better Dr who is able to help you ❤❤
Tina, happy to see you and the family. Exactly what I expected you would bounce back. You're a fighter, not a quieter. Are there any negative people leaving messages its not necessary give Tina and her family a break they have been through enough. Keep positive tina push forward the light at the end of the tunnel is just steps away. You will beat this.. Tony tracy and dusty dog
Tina, I truly believe that God has provided everything we need to heal ourselves. We have just gotten lost by being misled by big pharma! I don’t know if I could deal with an MD that wouldn’t work with holistic healing. Still praying for you 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
I understand. My sister was sick for 30 years. Every medical doctor said she was crazy. Finally, after 3 days as an inpatient at John’s Hopkins where they ran every test, she was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. They found it but had no treatment for it. We believe in Naturopathic medicine. Keep fighting through.
I don’t know how easy or difficult it is to get a new primary doctor but based on the way that one talked to you and questioned a labs results I’d be looking for a New primary doctor!!! I would have told him if he wanted to question the lab results why not call the lab and get his questions answered!!! Putting you through all that testing again is not only unnecessary it’s causing you to live longer without treatment! I’m outraged how you were treated by that guy! Unreal! I will pray for you and that you will get your treatment sooner than later. God bless your family.🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
Get another doctor to support you on this journey. With something like this think of the Doctor as the project manager, who overseas the project/build but prepared to listen to you follow up with new leads/research/treatment protocols appearing. And you can do it tele conferencing. Thats what I do with my wonderful Naturopath down here in Oz. It will be a different system in the US as obamacare was written by insurance companies. You will call in those who align with you. XX
We have the Udderly EZ milker. Doesn’t work at all for my girls. Zero milk flow. We also have the Ultimate EZ milker (electric) that one doesn’t work either.
I’m so sorry to hear about the medical problems At least with a diagnosis that makes sense you have a direction to head. The pier you have at your pond is gonna turn out gorgeous. If I can make a small suggestion, though, I had a piece of property on a river for about 30 years now, and I know the River levels will change from year to year and/or season season. I know we don’t have it as bad but they have something called break up there anyways you may want to consider putting that whole pier as a floater. I made a real nice one out of 55 gallon plastic barrels. You could make everything at home, put a couple sections at a time on your snowmobile trailer and launch them and drag them up with the boat or you could bring them up in the winter time and they’ll slide over the snow. I made my sections 16 foot long Because that’s the best price per board and that not alot of cutting needs to be done and the width of the pier slightly wider than barrel height they fit right in underneath and I strapped them down with some rubber coated steel cable I got from Amazon and they won’t go anywhere. Digging and beating all those posts into the ground is going to be a lot of work out on the river if you can float it over the top of that most of that grass and maybe use a block and tackle to drag it where you exactly want it I ran some of that same steel cable to shore in a couple places and sank a couple of pilings in secure ground on shore to tie it off and keep it there. There’s a lot of ways to build a pier I just thought I’d share what made my life easier.
WOW, I guess i got real "Lucky" with my doctor, she highly recommended an All Natural pill (made from Lavender) for my Anxiety. Im so sorry that your doctor was like that, how sad. 😢 The Dock is lookin' real good Joe. 👍 I have a friend that has to eat ONLY Gluten Free products AND TINA, its best to make sure, that where you go out to eat, you can actually eat at. If that makes sense? 🤔 If my friend wants to go try a new restaurant, she has to research their menus 1st. Better to be safe then sorry, you know, id hate to hear, that you ate something while out and it made you real sick. Love the new Goats. ❤ Goats are so comical, always jumpin', how fun. Blessings to y'all, Laurel ❤
I really love yalls channel with the animals, garden and all the work that goes on there. Please, please don't let your ilness take over the channel. Work thru your ilness and move forward
Tina, first let me say my husband and I enjoy your channel and look forward to your “new releases” 😉We have also noticed how Joe has come to life in the last few videos and is now showing us who you see behind the camera and we are loving it. Also, I am sorry for how you were treated by your PCP, no one should ever have to feel degraded by anyone especially when they have proof in hand that they are physically ill. I suffer from celiac disease and living gluten free is not as difficult as it used to be. You would be surprised to know that Walmart now has a rather large selection of gluten free products from pasta, breads, etc. Nabisco makes a rice cracker as well 😊 You got this girl, the world is your oyster ❤
Gurl…. This has been my life since 2006! I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on Functional and Naturopathic doctors trying to well. I have never been tested for Lyme tho. Definitely I will ask for that. It has been a struggle with the ups and downs of each new treatment- sometimes feel great and other times cannot get out of bed or breathe! This is a travesty of our sick care system because it isn’t geared toward wellness! Glad you are sharing what millions of us have been facing with our “doctors”
So glad you're advocating for yourself and yes, you will become more informed than your regular allopathic PC. Don't allow them to gaslight you. Most PC docs will only test for the basics because of lab time and insurance. It's truly a sin that many are sick and feel there are no solutions because of 💰💰.
The smaller breed goats usually give a quart to a half a gallon. I have full sized Saanen Goats and I get a gallon and sometime a gallon and half with my milking. So if you’re wanting about a half a gallon to a gallon, you will probably need two mini goats to get that. Just sharing in case you did not know that. I milked a Nigerian dwarf goat and I would only get about a quart of milk a day out of her. Also praying for you and for a complete healing.
JOE, Can I suggest you place any small piece of wood (screw in place then you can remove) on top of any POST's you have to secure by hammering. This will stop the post's from SPLITTING, like the one's on the dock. Hope this helps?. You're doing such a great job building what will in time be your ideal homestead. God bless you all.
Uggh! Traditional medicine can be so disappointing! I’m so sorry you’re having to fight him to get help. But I’m glad you are willing to be your own advocate. Prayers 💜.
I lost faith in medical doctors in 2020. I think they are brainwashed in medical school and it’s hard to change their minds. I would see if there is a Lyme disease specialist somewhere nearby.
My personal experience with doctors made me resort to eating a no sugar, low sodium, no processed foods, and as organic as possible, diet. I was taking medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. For the last year, I have been off all prescription meds. I use foods for medicine and it has worked for me. By the way, I refused the Covid shot. I was exposed several times but never got the virus. I am 77 years old and feel better than I have in years. 💕🙏🏼
That doctor will never admit he’s wrong. I would contact a Lyme disease expert and get a recommendation for who to see in Alaska.
Same! I would also do a parasite cleans. So many health problems are caused by parasites.
Yes I'm sure you know much more about Lyme disease than your doctor does. He most likely knows next to nothing about it, that's what it sounds like. I would definitely give up on him and find someone who deals with that disease in Alaska.
Yes primary care MDs are few and far between that even believe in Lyme disease. I have been through this whole process and as a nurse I was very ashamed at how the medical field make people feel about their disease. And since Covid it is even worse. I was lucky to have a holistic MD who started my care but it still took years to get to the bottom of it all.
Tina i will do the test get results, them get the records and move to another doctor for better help.
@rondar960 I am a retired RN too and yes, since covid I'm very ashamed of the medical industry. I am happy I'm no longer attached to it. I'm upset with my pri.ary care doctor for wanting us to take the poison shot but neither I nor my husband would. So happy now that we didn't though many in our family did. I warned my family against it but half the kids took it anyway. My husband's daughter works for Cooks Children's hospital and they mandated her to take it so she did. Also my older daughter thought I was crazy and took the shots as soon as she could. So far everyone is OK but we know they are ticking time bombs.
I am a Lyme disease survivor. You are 100% correct. My recovery was due to being blessed with the right people on my team. Don't give up.
This is what is wrong with many doctors in this country. They do not listen to their patients and think they know it all based upon medical degree. So annoying. Glad you are advocating for yourself. Ugh. Praying for you!
Very true and it needs to be addressed.
They make you think you’re crazy and a person knows their own body and you’re so right that doctors don’t listen and it makes so hard to find the right doctor!!!
I know right, it almost cost me my life 🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬
Not just the U.S., Australia as well 😡
Joe is so knowledgeable about everything, and you have a lot of confidence and common sense, you make a great couple 😊
Stay positive. Doc don’t like it when we “humans “know more then them about a illness. You
have all of us behind
you. 😊😊
I’m fortunate that my doctor is fully supportive of alternative treatments and medicine.
Mine is also..
I think ur on track Tina, truly believe u will be alright.God is helping u.love Parker swimming with the dog. What a dog, swimming all over with him. LOL. Also ur moose shots. Love ur additions, all everything u are doing. Much love for all. God bless you.
Nothing beats a holistic doctor! I had a routine colonoscopy about 10 yrs ago. I had 26 polyps. At a follow up appt the doctor suggested doing surgery to remove that section of the colon ( keep in mind they were not cancerous). I immediately found a holistic doctor who has treated me ever since. I now have ZERO polyps with his treatments!! Stick with your holistic doctor who immediately knew what your issue is! ❤
TINA, TAKE IT EASY AND REST YOU OWE IT TO YOUR SELF...YOU GO GIRL..❤🎉❤ Dinah from Virginia. LUV YOU.
I am so sorry your doctor's response was terrible. I hope the second round of testing provides the answers the doctor needs! If not, maybe it is time to find a new primary care doctor. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Chin up lady, love your new addition they are so cute. Dock coming alone nicely.
Thank you! 😊
Doctor's don't want to be proven wrong and they definitely don't to be corrected . Period!!! Dont give up Tina God's got your back he didn't bring you this far to give up on you. You are a fighter in the name of Jesus ❤
Amen!
Amen
Loving the new members of the family my grand kids are called Frankie and Tilly x
Hello our hard working Joe we all love you and praying for you and your beautiful wife 🙏🙏🙏 stay encouraged joe😊😊😊❤❤❤
The filming & editing in this is superb!!! Such beauty surrounding you - this looks like Healing to me...💞
Thank you!😊
Much love Watson family, stay strong, stay rooted to God Almighty and stay true to yourselves. ❤❤❤❤
Hi, Tina I have no doubt that the Lord put your thumbnail up on my feed. I agree with you 💯. I hate going to the Dr for all the same reasons you have shared. My baseline BP is on the lower side. By the last time I went to the Dr it was the highest it’s ever been. Anyway I’m sure God answered my prayers for the right provider for me. She is a functional medicine provider and I absolutely love her. Not gonna go into all the details right here but as a result of Covid pneumonia in late 2020 I am now disabled with several chronic illnesses. You are a breath of fresh air. I’ve subscribed and will join you on your journey. 🕊️
Hi Bernadette! Welcome to our channel. I’m so glad you finally found some answers. Searching for answers is the hardest part with chronic illness. Finding the root cause so you can get on a path to recovery! Thanks for subscribing.🫶🏻
Hang in there Tina. You’re on the right path.
It is sad that the medical community does not want people well. Most want your insurance/ money. It's disgusting! To you, Tina, and family, may the Lord bless you and keep you always. Keep walking in FAITH. God is faithful! Nothing is impossible for those who believe. ❤
You’re allowed to cry. It’s natural stress relief 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼
As an ER nurse, I was not surprised at this Dr.s reaction. Sorry to say that I have seen this a majority of the time.

I applaud you for taking the alternative path and healing yourself. I would recommend watching Justin Rhodes channel as he has chronic Lyme and discusses his journey and treatments often. I wish you all the best on your healing journey!
TY for adding the name - with this illness every stone may need to be unturned 💞
Totally agree, I have been with a natural doctors for the last 2-1/2 years just due the fact, I had some very bad experiences with the doctors in the western medical system for my entire life. I am praying for you.
Probably need to consider changing PCPs. I always told my patients they need to feel comfortable with their primary and have good communication with them. Nothing wrong with "shopping around." It's incredibly important when something is impacting your quality of life in a significant way. You're strong Tina, you'll get through this. Dock looks awesome. Has Parker every gotten a leach on him? UGH.
I worry that their insurance or location in Alaska may have them locked in to certain medical practices.
@@saravaneerde6164 Usually with insurance you have "in network" providers. You can shop within that group.
DINAH ROBERTS FROM PALMYRA, VA. I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT GLUDEN.❤😊❤
Oh gosh watching this is like watching myself with your experience. The same thing
Tina my husband kept having diarrhea and losing weight. He lost 60 lbs in 6 weeks. After a few months I threw a tantrum in the doctors office and told them something had to e done. He never did the stool sample test but said he didn’t have C-Dif. I requested the stool sample and it came back positive. He put him on strong antibiotics for 2 months. The doctor apologized to me and my husband is a much better man. Stick up for yourself because they are humans not God as some of them think. I have 100% confidence in you girl. Love you and your family
Every time I see him in the pond I worry about gators then I remember that I’m still in the south and you’re not. LOL. Just instinct… livin’ in Florida for 54 yrs 😳🥰😍
Wow Tina. You’re not alone in things like this these days. It’s sad is what it is. A darn shame that we have to fight for what we know is right. I’m to trying to see the good in people that are supposed to help you when all they do is say you’re wrong. I’m so sorry. You’re super strong my friend. You’ve got this! If you’re not happy. I would definitely go elsewhere. I’ve had to do this before. ❤. Take care. I know things will get better. Take care. Hope you find relief. Great job on the new build. Love where this is going!
time for a new Doctor
If it's like Ireland its impossible to get a new doc. Docs are now the same the world over unfortunately. Ivwould rather not go at all to my local doc and just attend the hospital
@@lorrainebrady4814 I just changed PCP it was a pain but I am glad I did. it sad to me as someone who works in health care. no one should have to go through this. Herbalist and PCPs can work so well together and make a word of different to a patient.
@lorrainebrady4814 Here in the United States we can change doctors whenever we like. however being in AK I'm sure her options maybe limited. it also can depend upon the insurance they have and what providers are available in their insurance network.
Beautiful view ❤❤❤ beautiful couple ❤❤❤love u all family watching from sikkim indian
Congratulations on the goats Tina❤Probably you already know but wanted to put here for others as well. Goats food must be different from sheep food. Goats need copper in their diet. Sheep must not have copper. 🐐
Best wishes ❤
Tina at the time that I was diagnosed with Diabetes I was so devastated. That was 2 years ago at 77 years old. Never been sick except for minor things. Went to doctor once a year for my annual. It was so hard to accept. Total life style change at an advanced age. I was so down. A friend said to me, you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. How true. So I put on my big girl panties and have adjusted so much in my life but all is well. In January 2024 I had surgery for melanoma. Again I’m dealing with it. I’m so sorry about all you are going through. But be strong and don’t let anything or anyone win. Kick butt and stand tall. You are awesome and one of God’s children. He’s always there for you and me.
Tina and Joe the homestead is looking beautiful. Thanks again for taking us through your day. Tina you are in my prayers. Stay strong my dear friend. Blessings and prayers.
Tina, I'm assuming you have military insurance, Tricare. We have Tricare Prime, when we've had medical problems with doctors, or techs giving tests we've immediately contacted Tricare (our insurance), and explained the situation. They immediately sent us to someone else. Maybe calling your insurance company would help the situation. Just a thought.
I'm proud of you for standing your ground with this doctor. Don't let him intimidate you in any way. You know something is medically wrong because you haven't been feeling well. You have the blood workup, and tests from your Natural Medicine Doctor. It will be interesting to see what results the Alaska doctor comes up with. I'd compare the results from both doctors. Keeping you in my thoughts, and prayers.
Nice dock Joe!
keep fighting! If you don't get help keeping looking for a Dr who will listen and help!!
I'm sending you healing prayers and blessings
I get the being worried I was the same way. Stay vigilant with your family 😁
Tina. Tina.Tina. Doctors! Are you really surprised? I totally get what happened to you. I've been in that scenario before!!! I admire the fact that it made you even more determined to find a cure, not defeated. 😘
Tilly & Frankie are so cute! Sarah will always be the baby. Your raised bed veggies r looking good! Oh my, that pier is going to be awesome!🎉 Joe is a genious!!! God bless him. Joe is better than gold!!!
Tina, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ll be checking myself and my family more closely in future - especially my grandchildren who are avid outdoor boys. Take care and don’t get too overwhelmed. Wish I could have a cup of coffee with you on the new deck!😍🇨🇦
Another great vid! ❤️❤️❤️
With God ALL things are possible. Pray and put your primary doctor in God's hands. Short videos are better than NO ciders. Enjoy the summer. Baby steps honey, baby steps. Much love and prayers for the Watson family.
I am so sorry you are facing this, but you are a warrior, you got this!!!!
People that are Celiac, need to get new cooking pots and utensils, etc, etc, etc.... and be super more careful with cross contamination and so forth.
For the gluten sensitive, none of that is needed. Just to avoid eating gluten.
I am super duper, gluten sensitive. My step-daughter is Celiac.
It is a big change at first, but then it will be a lot easier and becomes automatic.
Doctors are so disappointing sometimes. I hope you get feeling well, Tina. ❤
Tina this old woman is praying for you God can heal. God bless you all.
Hello from Sweden Europe! Thanks fore all your 5☆☆☆☆☆+ UA-cam videos, youst love them all! Please keep it up! If it whas a Alfred Nobel price in parenthood, you got it 100% sure! You are fantastic parents! Best Regards Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe ❤❤❤ to love fore freedom! 😊😊😊!
Hi Tina, Joe and Parker, hope you’re feeling better Tina from the last video. What a beautiful day there the wild flowers are so pretty. Little dock on the pond will be nice and handy for swimming for Parker and the dogs. That’s the problem doctors don’t believe in the holistic way at all, I have the same problem here. It’s a shame, both sides could really help in a big way if they could work together. I think the natural way is fantastic. I keep my sugar in check the natural way and it works good. Take care guys, enjoy your videos. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
Praying for you
We do need to take control of our own health.
Boy that doc is going to be really nice Joe‼️Parker- wasn’t that water COLD‼️ Brrrr😊
Looking forward to to going to the cabin with all of you😊👍‼️
My daughter is gluten free as she has celiac disease and she has figured it out. It did take time but it can be done and you don’t have to use two sets of pans that’s crazy. She doesn’t and she is totally fine. You will get there it’s trial and error. Best wishes!
Hello to The Watsons. Tina I am praying for you and your family(I was crying my eyes out on the last video with you) God is GREAT and you will get the help you need. I am touching and agreeing with you and i LOVE you guys❤❤❤❤
You guys could use the hillside as a stepped permaculture style gardening style that could work really well for you.
I waited six months in AK for a bipap machine. Flew back to TX and got it in one day. Feels like we are on the edge of the world sometimes. I am so grateful to God I got one. I have a partial paralyzed diaphram; if I do not use the bipap at night I will loose lung function.
However, my husband has been ill for forty years and has slowly found how to cope and est in a way that works for his body. We have some medical answers but not all of them. We even have medical insurance but still have to fight for answers and care. I thank God my husband and I have each other and my grown children.
❤ We love you Tina. Never ever give up! Never surrender! God Bless you always! Phil 4:13. Much love Alan&Maria
I hate it when Drs don’t listen & are proud. We have to do our own research. I’ve been the guinea pig for the docs & had the tests & procedures infinitum before they found hypothyroidism. Now I just fired my primary bc he admitted he wouldn’t give me the rests I need bc he doesn’t know how to interpret them. So we must be our own advocates & keep researching. I’m in the midst of a journey to balance my hormones with a brand new endocrinologist. I’m a UA-camr too with a small channel. I support you. I’m s brand new subscriber. Great docs learn from their patients & stay humble & compassionate. They don’t just push meds & not know anything about nutrition.
Because I'm sure you need one more thing to research... (Kidding) Ledums protocol. I am never without a bottle of step one and step two. Keep on hand for the fellas!
Thank you for brining Joy to our lives. Your utube channel is the best 👌
Thank you.❤️❤️
You may consider adding avacados to your diet if theyre available. They are a powerhouse when it comes to fighting inflammation. May God Bless And Heal you 🙏🙏🙏.
Thanks for the tip!
Beautiful!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏📚🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hi Tina I had the same reaction from my doctor when I had to go private for tests that showed I had MS my doc said he didn't except that I had MS and wanted to do his own tests..
It's an ego thing with GP's I think.. they don't like to be proven wrong and certainly not from a higher qualified doctor plus think the fact that we dare go behind there back to another source..
I could write a book about my treatment by my doctor..I could have sued and I think that crossed his mind because the way he is with me now is as different as night and day..
I wouldn't have sued because what is done is done and no amount of money would make me better..my husband and I live simply out in the countryside with our few animals and close family nearby who help us...watching your channel helps keep my mind off the pain and other chappy things.
So I thank you and your family for that 🙏 ❤..love from Ireland
Its time for a new dr. Im thankful that my family dr listens to me and so does the endrocornolgist i see.
I amso proud of you and I know Jesus is. You will get lots of energy soon.
It’s a pride thing for that Dr. he can’t admit he was wrong and missed it. I wonder how many other patients of his he has misdiagnosed? Thank goodness you look into things for yourself. ❤Stay strong Tina God has your back
I’m dealing with a debilitating issue as well, one of those hidden struggles that people can’t see. I’ve been to countless doctors, but none have been able to help. The common response is 'there’s nothing we can do, you just have to live with it.' Even my sister, who’s a doctor, says the same thing. It’s hard to have faith when it feels like they’re just repeating what they’ve been taught without considering other possibilities. I haven’t been to a doctor in nearly 10 years now, left to endure this struggle alone. It’s as if you’re just another number, and after you, they’re onto the next patient. Some of us might not have a solution, but it would be nice if they at least tried.
Ah friend, I agree. It can be so disappointing! We have to keep fighting for our own answers & our health!❤️❤️
You stay strong Tina...
I worked for doctors for 15 yrs and not every problem is routine. I found out I had a skin disease that causes me to be allergic to the sun. This is after Melanoma was found on my back. I grew up in Ca. Surfing soccer living at the beach couldnt understand why I was burning very bad getting huge blister while using sunblock. I happened to find the right doctor and found out I had Xeroderma Pigmentosum at 33.
Keep doing your research and you will find a PC that will listen and work with you and your herbal medicine.
You have an awesome family and great talents! Don’t worry everything will be great
God is watching blessings and healing you!
Our Thoughts & Prayers are with you & Family ,, you got this 💯!! enjoy off grid cabin,, look forward to all your family adventures 🎉🎉
Tina, you’re such an inspiration! I love your attitude and your outlook on life. The good Lord will help you get through this difficulty. Hang in there! Love you and your family! Joe is such a hard worker! Does he ever rest? Parker looked so happy swimming in the pond. I love your new babies! They’re precious and so is Sara!
I was also contacted by the Department of Health when my labs came back positive for Lyme. And made sure I received care and followed up with me a few times.
Keep advocating and standing your ground with him. If he continues with this behavior you may want to find a different doc. Keep positive, get lots of rest as that’s when our bodies heal when we sleep and lots of prayers going up 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏😊
Hi Tina, Watson family. My husband and I have been following you since you were in the apartment shortly before Joe’s retirement. ( thank you both for your service) May God continue to bless you and your family. You’re a better person than me. I would have walked out of that dr’s office. He’s wasting more of your time and money ordering the same tests. I would say definitely fine another doctor. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You’re in our prayers. Jesus loves you. God bless you all ❤❤❤
I've been there Tina with my doctor not listening to me about my health. Stick with your holistic doctor. Praying for divine healing of your body from the crown of your head to the very soles of your feet in the mighty name of Jesus Amen.. speaking many blessings into your life into your families lives God has you will guide you threw all of this Amen .he has a plan for your life Tina hang in there friend i love you take care
God bless!!
This is a major reason I don't go to doctors! My good friend suffered so long before being diagnosed with Lyme Disease! No one listened! I am so glad you are putting this out there!
We went through the very thing your going through with our daughter for years. Countless doctors before and after the diagnosis.Contracted Lyme in Virginia running the trails ended up having to come home to PA for us to take care of her she was bed ridden for a time. What we did learn was that the antibiotics they try giving you just drives the Lyme deeper into your system to escape the antibiotic. The holistic approach was the best route we found for her. There is hope and she is now running her trails again and going to the gym. Praying that you will find the help you need to start feeling better.
Tina, it will take you up to 6 months to go completely gluten free. And, my family eats what I eat, very rarely do they eat regular gluten. My husband does, it’s bread because he takes a sandwich everyday for lunch, other than that, everything else is gluten free. And, once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. When you go out to eat, ask for a gluten free menu. On Facebook and instagram, there are many groups to join to help you. You are going to have no issues at all. I have a lot problems, Hashimoto’s is one of them. I take something for it, I’m allergic to wheat, and I have cut my sugar and carbs way down. That has helped my thyroid tremendously! I’m praying for you, Tina❣️🙏🏻
I’m so jealous of being able to swim and not worry about swamp puppies and snakes 😂. I really, really hope you’re able to find a better Dr who is able to help you ❤❤
Tina, happy to see you and the family. Exactly what I expected you would bounce back. You're a fighter, not a quieter. Are there any negative people leaving messages its not necessary give Tina and her family a break they have been through enough. Keep positive tina push forward the light at the end of the tunnel is just steps away. You will beat this..
Tony tracy and dusty dog
Tina, I truly believe that God has provided everything we need to heal ourselves. We have just gotten lost by being misled by big pharma! I don’t know if I could deal with an MD that wouldn’t work with holistic healing. Still praying for you 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Beautiful video! Love the new babies. Keep your head up--you're doing great, Tina. 💜
I understand. My sister was sick for 30 years. Every medical doctor said she was crazy. Finally, after 3 days as an inpatient at John’s Hopkins where they ran every test, she was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. They found it but had no treatment for it.
We believe in Naturopathic medicine. Keep fighting through.
Praying forgot to lead you to the right Doctor that will work with your functional doctor❤❤❤ The homestead is looking so good!
I don’t know how easy or difficult it is to get a new primary doctor but based on the way that one talked to you and questioned a labs results I’d be looking for a New primary doctor!!! I would have told him if he wanted to question the lab results why not call the lab and get his questions answered!!! Putting you through all that testing again is not only unnecessary it’s causing you to live longer without treatment! I’m outraged how you were treated by that guy! Unreal! I will pray for you and that you will get your treatment sooner than later. God bless your family.🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
Get another doctor to support you on this journey. With something like this think of the Doctor as the project manager, who overseas the project/build but prepared to listen to you follow up with new leads/research/treatment protocols appearing. And you can do it tele conferencing. Thats what I do with my wonderful Naturopath down here in Oz. It will be a different system in the US as obamacare was written by insurance companies. You will call in those who align with you. XX
The Udderly EZ Milker is sold by Premier One and makes milking sheep easier. No noise to scare your ewes and no milking motion to wear you out.
We have the Udderly EZ milker. Doesn’t work at all for my girls. Zero milk flow. We also have the Ultimate EZ milker (electric) that one doesn’t work either.
I’m so sorry to hear about the medical problems At least with a diagnosis that makes sense you have a direction to head.
The pier you have at your pond is gonna turn out gorgeous. If I can make a small suggestion, though, I had a piece of property on a river for about 30 years now, and I know the River levels will change from year to year and/or season season. I know we don’t have it as bad but they have something called break up there anyways you may want to consider putting that whole pier as a floater. I made a real nice one out of 55 gallon plastic barrels. You could make everything at home, put a couple sections at a time on your snowmobile trailer and launch them and drag them up with the boat or you could bring them up in the winter time and they’ll slide over the snow. I made my sections 16 foot long Because that’s the best price per board and that not alot of cutting needs to be done and the width of the pier slightly wider than barrel height they fit right in underneath and I strapped them down with some rubber coated steel cable I got from Amazon and they won’t go anywhere. Digging and beating all those posts into the ground is going to be a lot of work out on the river if you can float it over the top of that most of that grass and maybe use a block and tackle to drag it where you exactly want it I ran some of that same steel cable to shore in a couple places and sank a couple of pilings in secure ground on shore to tie it off and keep it there. There’s a lot of ways to build a pier I just thought I’d share what made my life easier.
Stay strong warrior. You are second to none. ❤
WOW, I guess i got real "Lucky" with my doctor, she highly recommended an All Natural pill (made from Lavender) for my Anxiety. Im so sorry that your doctor was like that, how sad. 😢
The Dock is lookin' real good Joe. 👍
I have a friend that has to eat ONLY Gluten Free products AND TINA, its best to make sure, that where you go out to eat, you can actually eat at. If that makes sense? 🤔 If my friend wants to go try a new restaurant, she has to research their menus 1st. Better to be safe then sorry, you know, id hate to hear, that you ate something while out and it made you real sick.
Love the new Goats. ❤ Goats are so comical, always jumpin', how fun.
Blessings to y'all,
Laurel ❤
Sorry you had a stressful doctor appointment. I can empathize. I hope you find good support and solutions to your health struggles soon.
I really love yalls channel with the animals, garden and all the work that goes on there. Please, please don't let your ilness take over the channel. Work thru your ilness and move forward
Tina prayers for you,God can and will heal you.Homestead beautyful.
Tina I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. We praying for you..❤
Dr don't wants you to tell what you know, I whish you well you are a beautiful family ❤ who take care of the animals when you go to the cabin
Thanks!❤️
Goat milk is awesome!
Tina, first let me say my husband and I enjoy your channel and look forward to your “new releases” 😉We have also noticed how Joe has come to life in the last few videos and is now showing us who you see behind the camera and we are loving it. Also, I am sorry for how you were treated by your PCP, no one should ever have to feel degraded by anyone especially when they have proof in hand that they are physically ill. I suffer from celiac disease and living gluten free is not as difficult as it used to be. You would be surprised to know that Walmart now has a rather large selection of gluten free products from pasta, breads, etc. Nabisco makes a rice cracker as well 😊 You got this girl, the world is your oyster ❤
Gurl…. This has been my life since 2006! I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on Functional and Naturopathic doctors trying to well. I have never been tested for Lyme tho. Definitely I will ask for that. It has been a struggle with the ups and downs of each new treatment- sometimes feel great and other times cannot get out of bed or breathe! This is a travesty of our sick care system because it isn’t geared toward wellness! Glad you are sharing what millions of us have been facing with our “doctors”
So glad you're advocating for yourself and yes, you will become more informed than your regular allopathic PC. Don't allow them to gaslight you. Most PC docs will only test for the basics because of lab time and insurance. It's truly a sin that many are sick and feel there are no solutions because of 💰💰.
The smaller breed goats usually give a quart to a half a gallon. I have full sized Saanen Goats and I get a gallon and sometime a gallon and half with my milking. So if you’re wanting about a half a gallon to a gallon, you will probably need two mini goats to get that. Just sharing in case you did not know that. I milked a Nigerian dwarf goat and I would only get about a quart of milk a day out of her. Also praying for you and for a complete healing.
JOE, Can I suggest you place any small piece of wood (screw in place then you can remove) on top of any POST's you have to secure by hammering. This will stop the post's from SPLITTING, like the one's on the dock. Hope this helps?. You're doing such a great job building what will in time be your ideal homestead. God bless you all.
Uggh! Traditional medicine can be so disappointing! I’m so sorry you’re having to fight him to get help. But I’m glad you are willing to be your own advocate. Prayers 💜.
Thank you so much!
Tina every thing will be OK
