It is hard to find a doctor that doesn't just keep prescribing pills for this, procedures for that. Many patients are to blame because that is what they insist they want from their doctors. That is an individual's choice and not saying it is right or wrong. For them, that is the right choice. However, if this isn't what you want for your healthcare, then you need to find a doctor who practices modern medicine, but integrates alternative treatments. Who looks at your body as a whole, and not just looking at a symptom and covering it up with meds. More and more doctors are starting to realize this but finding one who actually does this isn't easy, however, it will become more common in the future. But for now you won't find one here in TV, believe me, I have looked. After a lot of looking, I just recently (FINALLY) found a great Internist in Ocala, with a 5 star rating, who does practice integrative medicine. He is not a Dr Oz or Joe Schmoe trying to indoctrinate his patients. All I can say is what a breath of fresh air from my past doctors. Wish there were more around like him.
