Know matter what type of health care prof. I use, I take the following into consideration:
1- That they treat the illness, not simply mask the symptoms.
2- That they take into consideration what foods I consume, how much sleep I get and the quality of that sleep, what my habits may be, what supplements, OTC and prescription drugs I may be ingesting and whether I am swallowing chemicals like artificial sweeteners , dyes, and the like.
3- The stresses in my life.
4- Occurrences in my past, whether they be illnesses or accidents. Any traumtic events, physically or emotionally.
5- And that the method of treatment won't be worse for me than the problem we're trying to cure.
It seems like a common sense approach to me but I can't say that generally speaking, western medicine incorporates much of this criteria. For the most part, though, that is the approach of holistic, naturepathic (sp), and Eastern medicine.
I, for one, don't believe in Ch'i, Ying-Yang, or Meridians and have never had any discussion of such things with ANY alternative medicine provider.
I am curious if you are going to try to defend western medical practices or are you negative towards all forms of medicine?
