"actually, i think most doctors get their information from years of school, experience and constant post-degree education and study. sorry, but doctors on the whole aren't anywhere near as lazy or negligent as you make them out to be"


My partner, who IS a licensed physician, deals with these people every day. You would be amazed at how ignorant many so called licensed physicians are regarding anything they 'didn't' learn about in medical school, and how easily influenced they are by pharmaceutical reps. Its quite scary, actually.

I will agree with you about the new age (what I call) woo woo's. That being said, GOOD doctors, whether they be licensed MD's, ND's, or DO's recognize that healing involves much more than their medical school knowledge or a particular pharmaciutical used to treat an illnesses. And those docs that treat lab results rather than patients are unfortunately way too plentiful and do little in terms of healing their patients. There is a huge difference between treating a symptom and assisting the healing of a patient.

I don't recall the poster saying anything about using a new age 'have to much X in your system' healer. The poster used a combination of therapies including allopathic and naturopathic medicine under the supervision of her physician.
