alternative medicine doctorWe were able to switch health insurance companies this year and we were able to find an alternative medicine doctor who is one of the providers we can access. We were thrilled to make the switch because we prefer alternative medicine doctors to conventional ones. We know that alternative medicine is a better fit for us than allopathic medicine. We use a lot of herbal and nutritional remedies for our few medical conditions, and just feel that getting relief and cures from the plant world are better than those from a synthetic product.

We met with our alternative medicine doctor and think she's just great. Her first preference for many conditions is also to go the natural route. In fact, she gave us a tip sheet to avoid the colds and flu this season that includes easy, natural things, like gargling twice a day with salt water, irrigating the nasal passages daily, and eating right. She said that by keeping the respiratory passages clean, the viruses can't multiply in them, great advice any time of year. She also said that drinking hot beverages kills the viruses, too.
