=============================

Today's question ".....Should I change doctors or just ignore her prescription form of treatment? How can I find a doctor that believes in using natural remedies? Are there ways of knowing if a doctor will help you with alternatives?"

I strive to answer all questions using what I gleaned from 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along with my ongoing and past education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes and my many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who beat his cancer death sentence given by the traditional medical world. I also receive a lot of study reports and try to ascertain if they are good or bad and report them to you...

I am not a doctor and you should not think of me as one!!
My years observing life and health of the many people/patients around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating - prescription domino effect - while watching those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more than they help. Those same medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness led me to look for something to change that premise for myself and those around me. In looking outside the Westernized medical profession I found and continue to find alternatives that really work to create health and longevity -when adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical world can do...

QUESTION
 
Hello Lena, Thank you for being here for those of us confused easily with no guts inability of standing up for ourselves guide... I'm really upset with my family doctor as she won't even discuss vitamins with me much less herbs, etc. Should I change doctors or just ignore her prescription form of treatment? How can I find a doctor that believes in using natural remedies? Are there ways of knowing if a doctor will help you with alternatives?
 
Thanks for your help
Joseph
 
ANSWER
 
Yes Joseph, a tough position and a very common one in this poison/cut/burn Medical mentality of Westernized Medicine. I think my answer will help to answer your questions...

Her attitude really isn't your doctor's fault, totally, they are taught, in medical school that their education is the only health truth out there and anything other than that is an old wives tales and shouldn't be believed. Yes there are questions to be asked that will help you quickly decide on choosing the right doctor as a partner in your health care.
 
First you need to understand that the pharmaceutical industry educates our doctors in that cut/burn/poison mentality by way of running the medical schools that educate them and  once a doctor is out of Medical school and practicing medicine they are required to get ongoing education in order to keep their medical license. Guess who is in charge of all CEU's (continuing education units)? They are then spoon fed - to via those CEU's - what the drug industry wants them to know.  So do not expect many of them to go outside the normal medical education format to learn true healing!
 
We can still be in charge of our health choices and who we see will help to do that so I say get rid of your doctor, if she won't even consider listening to your choices or agreeing with the possibility of alternative health treatments. It's necessary to find one who will work with you and be a partner in your health care and not a dictator! Start by calling around to the different medical offices and ask the receptionist or the doctors? nurse how that doctor feels about herbs and nutritional healing. A D.O. (Osteopathic doctor) is more likely capable of treating alternatively or at least will chart your progress and help guide you with your chosen form of alternatives.
 
When finding a new doctor I prefer to talk to the doctor's nurse but some receptionists know the doctor's procedures and attitude of treating patients. Once you have them on the phone ask;
  1. Is your doctor for or against treating patients with alternative (be specific in your question as to whether your idea is herbal, nutritional, Chelation, chiropractic, homeopathic or all of these.) medicine?
  2.  What is the normal procedure that your doctor follows for colds and viruses? That answer will tell you a great deal about him/her. If the word antibiotic or names of an antibiotic or prescription comes out of the mouth, hang up as colds and viruses are only worsened with those modes of treating! Those two questions should garner you enough information to ascertain whether he/she is a possible physician for you. Only after being seen for a consultation can you know definitely but it?s worth paying for that one visit to know for sure!
  3. Never be afraid to switch doctors. As many times as necessary to assure competent health care.
  4. Remember one thing; A good personality or good bedside manner does not necessarily mean an effective doctor. A large number of doctors have great personalities but are terrible doctors? By the same token, a person can have a bad personality but be a great healer. This is going to sound strange, but in the twenty years I worked with dozens of doctors I found that the best doctors have horrible bed side manners, they concentrate on being the best doctor and are unable to convey that. So never choose by a personality. Ineffective incompetent doctors usually have great personalities, just as pedophiles have great rapport with children! There are definitely exceptions to that statement but the majority of the time will ring true.
 
Here in Arizona it is not at all unusual to find a doctor who will allow you alternatives and an occasional one who uses both in their practice, which is my preference. There is a website that can help you shorten your search so Click here Choose the area of your choosing, such as herbs, or whatever, click and it will take you to a list to enter your city and/or state and hopefully they will have someone listed in your area? The questions I've listed won't even be necessary with those listed there as they have already been screened... You may also find that some of them listed are no longer in practice in the area listed as the AMA black balls them and some lose their nerve and move on or stop alternative practices...
 
I do not have sufficient room here, nor could I keep your interest long enough, with an absolutely answer to your question, but I dedicated a whole chapter to talking to your doctor and how to approach him/her in my book "Antibiotic Alternatives To Preventing Mega Bacteria". 
 
Hopefully this will give you a start to finding a suitable doctor that will partner with your health care!

ENCOURAGEMENT WORKS

At one point during a game, the coach said to one of his young players, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?" The little boy nodded yes.

"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?" The little boy nodded yes.

"So," the coach continued, "when a strike is called, or you are out at first, you don't argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that?" Again, the boy nodded yes.

"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain it to your mother."

What the coach wanted the boy's mother to understand is that encouragement is vital to success. Encouragement builds teams and also builds esteem. Encouragement works. In fact, the right kind of encouragement, at the right time, can change a life.

Author Ron Dunn tells the story of two altar boys. One was born in 1892 in Eastern Europe. The other was born just three years later in a small town in Illinois (USA).  Though their lives were quite different, these two boys shared a similar experience.

Each altar boy assisted his parish priest in the celebration of Mass. While handling the chalice during Holy Eucharist, they both accidentally spilled some of the wine on the carpet.

But this is where their stories diverge. The priest in the Eastern European church, seeing the purple stain, slapped the altar boy across the face and shouted, "Clumsy oaf! Leave the altar." He did. The little boy grew up to become the atheist and communist dictator of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito.

The priest in the church in Illinois, upon seeing the wine stain, knelt down beside the boy and looked him tenderly in the eyes and said, "It's all right, son. You'll do better next time. You'll be a fine priest for God someday." That little boy grew up to become the much loved Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.

We will never know how much a kind and encouraging word from the priest, or the lack of one, influenced these boys' lives. But kindness and instruction are far more valuable than anger and criticism.

Encouragement works.
