Physician's assistants, DO's and nurse practitioners are well studied, respected professionals. Is there something that makes you distrust their education?

Yes, someone's longevity does have a lot to do with their genetics. It also has a lot to do with life style, nutrition and how you take care of yourself. That's what holistic type care is geared towards. Taking care and responsibility for your own health.
I had a DO in California, just got into one here but appt is not until Dec so I cannot say if she’s good or not. I too want someone who is more holistic and doesn’t want to keep shoving bad drugs down my throat! I’ve been asking for over 2 years for a different diabetic med but told they are all too expensive! Shouldn’t that be MY decision, not hers! She’s not a financial advisor!? She’s more like a “doctir@ reading from a script of what to ask, recommend meds that are harmful and get the patient out the door!
