Re: Holistic practices again/prescribing

[Guest guest]

Wow, thanks to all of you that have chimed in on this thread. Not only

has it been very informative it has also given me a renewed joy at the thought

of being a PP IBCLC and practicing in line with my holistic ideals.

Jan, thank you for all the metaphors. Your name is also right up

there on my list of great lactation mentors that I glean so much wisdom from!

I agree that I will develop my own style through time and experience. While

studying for the exam I had been feeling very confused about what limitations would

be placed on me as a PP IBCLC when responsibly sharing my holistic health

knowledge with clients.

This thread has helped clear a lot of things up for me and has given me

a newfound excitement about the field.

, I would love to see you present at conferences. Your wealth

of knowledge would also translate into a fascinating online class (I am very

from CT sadly).

Lastly, if others have more to add to this thread, whatever your take

on the topic is, I would love to hear from you too.

PS. On a side note, here’s another reason to turn to holistic

care first when possible. A friend of mine has a 3 yr old who was just

diagnosed with a super-bug, C. Dificil. Of

course, it was brought on by a recent

round of antibiotics. My friend was willing to try probiotics and I was able to

let her know about the Saccharomyces

boulardii strain for her son’s condition. I hope he heals up

soon!
