Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I just had the thought today of when are doctors practicing under the " old outdated Medical Model " going to give up and get some new training?? The practice of going to your doctor for a disease and getting a band aid effect of a prescription is so outdated to me. If doctors, clinics,hospitals, and medical schools are not keeping up to what is happening around themselves and keeping up with the times they have a real chance of going out of business. More and more people are seeking alternative medicine, eastern medicine, functional medicine, whole system medicine, ect. I had a friend's mother from highschool that had this eye twitching problem and after awhile it turned in to having headaches. She went to several doctors and even the famous Mayo clinic in Minnesota where I live. Most of the places prescribed a medicine and the problem did not go away. Finally, she went to an alternative doctor whom right away asked her to write everything down that she was eating and drinking. It turned out she was drinking a whole bunch of diet Coke's or diet Pepsi's (I forget which one) anyway as soon as the alternative doctor saw this the doctor recommended to stop drinking this and low and behold her eye problem went away. So now there is another consumer of alternative doctors after not getting the answers from the " old medical model " doctors. Consumers are savvier today than every before. Now I will only go to doctors that have a systemic view of the body, have nutritional training, and know how to treat the root of the problem. I am much more medically savvy then every before and I will never turn back!! I am lucky to live in a state (Minnesota) that is pretty progressive with medicine but my state still has a long way to go!! Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
