> Hi Janis,
> What a lucky person you are to have found an MD with this combined background!! It's amazing to me that these interwoven systems are so compartmentalized in our current medical philosophy. No wonder we're all a nation of sick and hurting people. Does your holistic MD prescribe any psych meds for you and if so, what counterbalancing or whole body support methods is he using as well? I'm very much in this camp, so anything you want to discuss/share with me, you have a rapt and interested audience. - Barbara

He has no objection to prescribing AD's or even diet pills, etc...things that aren't natural or holistic, but he does like to go over your other possible options with you before he does this...I don't know what other type of things he does to support a person while on things prescribed just to keep symptoms at bay, but I am certain he does take all of it into consideration and adjuncts it with things like a natural liver detox, that type of thing. I have not needed an antidepressant more than once since I have reached homeo-stasis, where the hormomes are balanced- and this was to help me deal with real, situational things in my life. The thing that most impresses me is that I know of several children whom he has treated for allergies, thyroid and adrenal problems and gotten them off AD's, ritalin and anti-psychotics - they are happy well adjusted children now and can go into their teens and developmental years in a natural way. This to me says everything. janis
