Hi all,

I am deciding whether I need to see Naturopathic medicine doctor or not. My GI doctor said to me that you'll not get any help from naturopathic treatment.

I called the naturopathic medicine doctor about the price and the first visit is $325. I just wonder anybody has sucess story with naturopathic doctor?
Is it worth a try? Do supplements have side effects too?

BTW, which one you trust more --naturopathic medicine doctor vs. Chinese medicine doctor?

thank you!

For my opinion, look up a site that deals with "quack" and "watch".

I tried Accupuncture and I believe it did help.

Yes, supplements have side effects and you can get toxic from too much just like other medications. I would see a naturopathic doctor as I'm looking for any and all options. It's expensive but probably worth it.

I think if it's someone trained as a holistic Dr. then why not try it? Many people get success for their ailments from them. Obviously the conventional Dr's aren't helping most of us so why not try an alternative?
If you have success maybe there is hope for the rest of us
