I’ve got Blue Cross coverage, and I can’t tell from their directory of doctors who would be more likely to have an Alternative Medicine leaning (in other words, if there’s a problem, the first answer isn’t just a pharmeseutical one, but might involve nutrition/natural remedies.)
Any thoughts of how to find a doctor like this? Thanks!
Good luck with that!
I have been unable to find such a person. Educate yourself. The internet is a great tool and find people to help you with advice. Personally, I have a number of books to refer to in addition to the internet, plus I see a chiropractor reguarly and a massage therapist. I also have different friends who know a lot about food and nutrition and natural remedies and healing. I consider my GP one of many resources when it comes to my Health and well being.

Why don’t you just call "Blue Cross", an ask them if they have a doctor associated with their insurance plan that holistic, or does acupuncture.
This would be quick and easy. Or look in the yellow pages of where you live.

Go to a D.O, not an M.D.
D.O.’s are Doctors of Osteopathy and are trained to take a more holistic approach to medicine. They can, however, prescribe medicine if needed.
They are real doctors, they just don’t go to school as long as MD’s.
