All MD's in the States have it very rough. They have got to follow a ABCD order or the AMA will be right on their backs. Like for instance they are not even allowed to tell you a herb could even help. If you don't believe me please ask them.
I have done alot of Alternative Medicine as well. Alternative medication is very complex. Just look at this web site for instance. What has helped me could possiably hurt you, you need someone that knows what they are doing.

I have sought alternative MD's that know what their doing. They do not believe in the one size fits all approach.
What is getting me better is Conventional and Alternative.
I beg of each and every one of you to be your own advocate. Never ever give up. For every problem their is a solution. Be good to you, Roz
