Walk a few miles every day unless it's pooring rain, don't eat junk, and I do tend to prefer more natural remedies. Dandelion root and peppermint tea helps the sluggish digestion I have, why take Prilosec, that sort of thing. Like I said, she holds multiple licenses and it's the best care I've ever had. Missouri won't license naturopaths so she wouldn't be around if that was all she held. Like I said, this runs in the family and mine is the least severe....because I support the whole system.

she never has

@Larimar really? You whole post is full of "being frightened" & you can't see it?

There's no fright at all. There's finding what works for each individual. I suggest you're being judgmental and not seeing it. I like to have a name for what it is so that I can find other research and see what may be out there. Maybe there's new studies. There are things that work that aren't pills. My lotion has probably helped keep the skin supple and from enduring some of the problems associated with this. I'll be sending some to my brother. My lotion is homemade, I've spent a lot of time creating what works for me and researching oil properties. That's NOT fear. It's based on research and attempting to alleviate what the family dealls with. My doc supports that. She supports that it's not all known yet and doesn't act like she knows everything because nobody does. Again, that's the farthest thing from fear that a doc can be. So, maybe, you need to take your attitude and go find someone who thinks you have an opinion worth listening to

@Larimar what a charming, open-minded person you are, aaannnd delightful to be around......

@OwlInASack well said! Ignorance is Not bliss!
