When I lived in Asheville, there were many health care professionals who integrated allopathic, homeopathic and nutritional modalities. I accidentally moved back a century when I moved here. :(dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905692094664443489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-63856637772396572662013-06-02T12:53:21.356-04:002013-06-02T12:53:21.356-04:00We asked around and found doctors that are much be...We asked around and found doctors that are much better informed in our area. Not only better informed, but their practice uses both conventional AND alternative if people want them. They will go either way depending on what YOU want. Even then, I still have to do my research and often find that the folks that go to them have to be well-read and suggest what they want/don't want.<br /><br />If you have any "health food" places that are reputable, you might contact them and see if they know of any in the area w/a good reputation.<br /><br />Even after having found a place that is more sympathetic and informed, they are still just family doctors. If you need anything more, the specialists just don't seem to have that interest.<br /><br />I know you...you're informed and do a lot of research. Sometimes you just have to tell them you want to try something specific rather than waiting on them to know. Sad...but true.<br /><br />I wonder if Mercola has a list of "like-minded" doctors throughout the country?<br /><br />OH...and I DON'T go to doctors myself... unless I know something is way wrong. :DLeahs Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-72027305668931220222013-06-02T11:02:51.083-04:002013-06-02T11:02:51.083-04:00My doctor is marginally better, but still pretty c...My doctor is marginally better, but still pretty clueless about foods and nutrition. Mostly I just go so the disabilities continue to be documented, but we both understand there's very little she can do to help with them. I'm having more success by doing the food.<br /><br />I've been giving a small amount of thought about going regularly to see the doc. If it wasn't for the need for documentation, I'd probably not go at all.Pam R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10198244361708075844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-14505611140727162782013-06-02T07:39:44.326-04:002013-06-02T07:39:44.326-04:00Earlier this year I had to find a new doctor.

When she was done, I made the comment that I had a few questions for her, and she looked at me like I had lost my mind. My main question was what did she think of the eat local, organic movement. Her response was "What movement?" That let me know right there that I would not be back to see her. I finally found a doctor that shares the same values about food that I have. And as an added bonus, he raises pastured pork just like we do, so he can never fuss at me for eating too much pork or pork fat. Good luck in dealing with your doctor.
