I'm sorry but that is not true at all. I have brought
several turtle back to health by doing exactly what you
say will not work.....soaking in pedialyte, warming and
force feeding baby food chicken with vitamins and occasionally
cod liver oil and pedialyte(or gatorade).

To say that is not possible for illnesses to resolve themselves on their own or with supportive care is ridiculous.

Yes, its better to go to a vet when you can, but thats not
always practical or possible. I have several animals and have
had some significant financial difficulties over the past year
so I have to be cautious when I use a vet. And I have used
two different vets for turtles in the past, but I always try and
see if it is something I can deal with first.
