Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 Hi everyone....I am soooo excited and just had to share with you guys cause I knew only you would truly understand the reason for my excitement! Ever since our pediatrician retired in February, we have been huntin for a new physician that would be supportive to our views. Well, somewhere on the Internet I found a site about holistic doctors. There was one for Des Moines. Unfortunately, when I called them, I found out they are more of a specialty clinic for chronic problems; however, they referred me to a DO that also does Holistic medicine in a practice only 45 minutes from our house! I was thrilled! I spoke with this doctor's nurse yesterday and she told me this lady has been in practice for about 25-30 years and just the past 6 years has added a more holistic approach to medicine. She currently has about 6 families that have chosen not to immunize and although she does still give immunizations herself, she is very supportive of families that have chosen not to for one reason or another!!!! I could have cried! I set up a school physical for my son and I am hoping that she's as good as she sounds. I just wanted to find a physician that would be supportive and not harass us everytime we'd be in there! And, maybe eventually we could get her to sign a medical waiver for us. We'll see. Anyway....most of my friends and family immunize and to tell them this doesn't mean much....so thanks for letting me share it with you all! I'm so thankful for the wealth of information I've gotten from you all! Thanks to you Sheri for setting it up! It's a huge encouragement to know that there are other parents going through these same issues! God bless, Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
