I am in total agreement with you and don’t listen to someone cutting you down! I doubt they have any medical degree? A medical doctor and holistic are both now recognized and deciding which is right for you is up to you! I’ve had too many experiences with doctors pushing pills. My big example are statins! Several doctors have constantly told me I must go on them and argue! A holistic doctor told me NO way. (This advice is for me and is not for everyone). Total cholesterol was 246. Even the nutrition advice the doctors gave was “old school” and no longer accurate such as good fats and egg yolks. I got on psyllium husk, red yeast rice etc and changed my diet slightly. and after several months, I’m down to 190 total cholesterol! Then, it took a friend of a family member who is a heart surgeon to admit to me that I was within total range, and with total healthy triglycerides! Many doctors push what they are told to push! And, by listening to dropping foods that cause inflammation, NO more lower back aches!!! Keep striving for good health!!
