We will drive at least 2 or 3 hrs from The Villages for a good recommendation for a holistic provider.
We don't want to have to fly back up north for annual exams so looking for a good recommendation if you have one. Thanks everyone! |

No. I prefer traditionally trained physicians.

OP is asking for advice on a Physician either MD or DO, who also uses holistic non chemical drugs. Considering some drugs have originated from natural plants it’s not a stretch
Our family physician was Harvard graduate MD. However came from a long line of Shoman. While classically trained as an MD, he also uses herbs and other tinctures passed down for generations. Best friend is a Cleveland Clinic Cardio Vascular that also uses natural based products along with chemical based drugs. So GG yes there are highly trained MDs that can practice both. OP Local health food shops usually have great knowledge of holistic practitioners. Your northern holistic community usually will give you ideas for practices in other states. Is a close knit community, and many will share recommendations close to you. Our close friends still use their up north holistic office, Skype their appointments with great results for themselves.

You were not in awe the first or more than a few times you were involved in Acupuncture/Medicine surgeries? Our area was a hot spot for MH families, including one of our own Anesthesiologist. Her surgeries were all preformed with Acupuncture/Medicine. We have a designated Anesthesia Machine just for MH, for some it’s was just an expensive monitor, to be used as a just in case.

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

I think the definition of "holistic" is important and not sure exactly what the OP meant with the question. The post initiated that the search was for an MD or DO so clearly looking for medically trained and not some hippie who has an herb garden and incense. I applaud the approach, and agree with it. Too many "traditional" physicians do not look far beyond the 8 minute encounter for the complaint at hand and grab the prescription pad to right YET ANOTHER script, often times with out trying to best understand the underlying cause nor the direct impact from other parts of wellness. Many (I would suggest the majority) practice sick care, not well care.

Try Docs outside the Box. Dr Teekell-Taylor and her staff have really helped me through some tough times over the years.

Absolutely!!! Damn that "Big Pharma"---the companies that bring you antibiotics, Angiotensin II receptor antagonists and HydroxymethylglutarylCoA reductase inhibitors and caused us to live 20 years longer. How dare they!!! So when you get Klebsiella sepsis, ischemic cardiomyopathy or schistosomiasis, feel free to explore the alternative medicine treatments-----Vitamin C, wheat germ and howling at the moon, but please pick out your casket in advance. Also, please feel free to re-evaluate that description of "most". "MOST" Americans do not go out of their way to seek out quacks.
