What types of alternative care are available? How do you feel about traditional medicine versus alternative modalities of treatment?
I go to a great natural doctor, he saved my life and I went to 20+ doctors who sat around saying there was nothing wrong with me and I was just imagining feeling sick and come to find out I had a severe vitamin deficiency that they should have found then there was another time that one prescribed a medicine that they knew I was deathly allergic to. Natural doctors go to school just as long as a regular doctor does and they can run all the same tests, they just can't prescribe medicine. I know from my experience 9 out of 10 regular doctors don't care about people they only care about prescribing meds. that don't even solve a problems only mask them, but some people do need medicine. People think their doctors care and some doctors do but most are just waiting for the 15 mins to run out on the clock and they don't even know your name. Natural doctors treat the whole body instead of just one part which Hippocrates the father of medicine strongly believed in. So unless you want to be on meds. I would recommend going to a natural doctor who will not put you into a statistic and actually sit down with you and listen and help you. Plus natural herbs really do work as well or better than perception meds. without the bad side effects. Once I was going to a regular doctor that everyone recommend was so great and come to find out he got his medical degree down in the Caribbean at a medical school that does not require a bachelors degree, so you never know what your getting with a regular doctor.

alternative medicine?
Jun 11, 2008 by kangkungkernitz1081 | Posted in Alternative Medicine
im positive in hepatitis b. ive been consulting different doctors and test my blood several times but still positive. the doctor said that no drugs are available in the market for hepa B. does anyone know what are alternative medicine for hepa b? will i die?
There are no alternative treatments for HBV. Okay, that's not quite true...there are lots, but none of them have been actually proven to do anything, thats why they are "alternative"
Testing positive for HBV is not the same thing as having active disease. The most common testing just looks for immunoglobulins your body makes when you have been exposed to the virus, and those will always test positive.
