Also, please feel free to re-evaluate that description of "most". "MOST" Americans do not go out of their way to seek out quacks.

I almost got to experience that fire in the box for 2 episodes of Anaphylactic reaction to drugs. Listening them opening Trach set, when you know what's coming. Big Pharmacy isn't high on my list. Plus Considering DES babies from the 50s are either dead or still dealing with cancers. I know many physicians no longer have Big Pharm in their pockets today as 10 years ago. They are far more concerned about just writing scripts.
I Do you find it interesting That you consider acupuncture Not holistic And yet Almost every herb, flower, bark used for decades By physians has helped big pharm create modern drugs today.

No, quite the opposite. I am very clear on what many physicians have become.

Please clarify:
1) You think "big pharma" is at fault because YOU are allergic to something?????
2) DES??? And multiple other drug failures as well that you know nothing about??? That's like blaming leeches and bloodletting as "treatments" with poor results
3) We were in "big pharma's" pocket 10 years ago??? Sorry I missed that
4) Now we "just write scripts"??? God help my writer's cramp, not to mention the boredom
5) The only thing in that post that is even remotely true is that many modern pharmaceuticals have a basis in plants---but which do you think is better, let's say for depression--St. John's wort with an arbitrary potency factor of 1.0, or it's pharmaceutical derivative - selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors with a potency factor of 100?

I always wonder where the non-professional public gets some of their bizarre ideas.

Alternative MD’s are great. Today’s MD training has always been based on REACTIVE treatment. Do you know MD’s only have ONE class in nutrition..the core of your health is the fuel you feed it.

Alternative MD’s have ADDITIONAL training in being PROACTIVE in your future health. They are reactive when needed but also concentrating on keeping you health so you don’t get sick.

Yeah, right.

Two questions----how many patients have you had die after these "alternative" quacks got a hold of them?
How many patients have you brought back from the verge of death after they had been treated by a chiroquacker or naturoquack?

Perhaps some people should get a better perspective on what they are talking about.

The problem is, in my experience, that by the time the patient comes to see me it is too late.

I think I may be defining "holistic" a bit differently than you.

Not many "proven" drugs cure the problem. They treat symptoms. A DO concentrates on finding the root of the evil.

How could you have experience to rely on if you don't believe in a holistic approach?

Health Care Network doctors prescribe pharmaceutical drugs to treat symptoms because that is "the only way to make money."

Holistic doctors seek the root cause of a condition and work with the body to cure the problem.

I know there are a lot of nay-sayers about Holistic anything! I had Vertigo & Vestibular problems for 4 miserable years. A neurologist suggested that I go to a Holistic Physical Therapist down in Groveland because he helped her aunt. I would never have gone to anything “Holistic” but in 6 sessions, he helped my Vertigo!!! It’s great to feel half human again!!!

Because I’ve had to clean up their mess many times
