Question:
Conventional Doctor vs Holistic Natural Medicine?

I am so confused about deciding which doctor I should go for all my health care. Conventional Doctor seems to give me a diagnostic right away, and prescribe me medication. I was told it is a money making scam. But in some care, you do need these meds. Then, there are Holistic natural medicine, usually they are not MD, but like acupuncture or massage therapist where you would go see them on regular basis regardless of sick. or when you get sick, is it too late to go see them? They usually gives you herb medicine. It cost like $90 each time you go see them, may be twice a week. Conventional doctor would cost you about the same, but once a month or only once. They would gives you a quick fix, powerful medicine that has a lot of side affect. A lot of them just treat the symptoms. I am so confused what is the truth and who do I really need to go see. Like anxiety, depression, flue, virus, infection, allergy, just any disease.....who for what?

Answer: Like in Hollistic or alternative medicine not everything in conventional medicine is a quick fix. Sometimes it can take several specialties and such to try and figure out what the problem a person is having if one is having a very complicated problem. This is the situation I face now.

My conventional medicine drs will let me try some alternative things if they see that they are safe for me to do. I always check with my conventional medicine drs because I have a very complicated health situation.

Some drs of the conventional type are starting to do more with offering alternative treatments such as accupuncture.

I would say that for monitoring overall have a conventional medicine dr. Some conventional medicine drs like mine are very good at listening and being open to alternative medicine/hollistic ideas if they are truly safe for the patient to do.
