I can just imagine how it was when my grandparents, or maybe even my parents, went to the doctor.  He or she was considered the final word on healthcare; you asked what you needed to do or take to cure your ill, they told you, and you did it.  Now I’m not disparaging medicine, I just think you need to be an active participant in your own healthcare, that’s all.  Especially if what you’ve been trying isn’t working.  Take medical magnets as an example.  I don’t know how long they’ve been around, but I’m pretty sure doctors weren’t writing orders to their patients to go out and get them for pain management.  My question is:  why not? They work!  Sure, they may not be as effective as those crazy strong pain pills some people take like medicine, but as far as natural pain relief goes, they are great. Everyone has their own choice on how they want to manage their medical treatment; all I am saying is that you should manage your treatment, not just blindly follow the advice of a practitioner.  Regardless of thier training they are still just practitioners:  who is to say that other alternatives aren’t the answer?
