Database of natural medicine doctors.

Gettingwell/database

 

Dear Group,

 

We have started a database section on our database page. Wow, what a

coincidence of names huh?

 

It is for doctors or practicioners who use natural medicine to treat

patients.

 

It is still small and only has a handfull of listings at this point ,

but hopefully it will grow.

 

The people that we will include will have to be fairly stable

established people for us to display them. We do not guarantee

anything. All information on this site is for your investigation

purposes. You make up your own mind whether to use or not any

information here at your own volition and at your own risk whether in

our files, links, databases etc.

 

The doctor databe is here on our databaes page.:

Frankly, the problem is not in identifying those doctors that " call "

themselves " natural " practitioners, but identifying those doctors that

aren't busy hoodwinking a gullible population, desperate to find options to

orthodox medicine. There are as many doctors of natural medicine, driven by

their lust for cold cash, as their are orthodox doctors so driven.

[Guest guest]

can we suggest NDs that we have worked with and know are good to be added to the

database?

[Guest guest]

Dear John,

 

Unfortunately, I agree with you, to many have found out the buzzward

to get patients is to espouse natural medicine when most don't have a

clue, but if push comes to shove and a person really needs a doctor

in a bad way (there are some things, that are very difficult or

impossible to do for oneself), his chances of getting less

destructive/more beneficial treatment will probably be better if the

doctor even tries to practice orthomolecular or similiar type of

medicine. We are in no way saying that you should wholeheartedly

trust any doctor.

 

Also, there are a few good guys that know the score and are honestly

trying to learn and practice a different brand of medicine than that

stipulated by the AMA, even though it puts them in adversary position

with somewhat usually bad consequences.

 

In some of our links page we cite some doctors who have battled with

the establishment trying to bring real health to their practice.

There are others.

 

In our database list, we are not reccomending these doctors or

stating that they are good for any certain treatment. The process to

do that would be way beyond the scope or the ability of this group.

In our database there is also room for comments as to feeedback about

any specific doctor, if there are areas of good or poor knowledge and

methods.

 

Also a lot of people will not read and learn for themselves or never

find exactly what they need to read and will never do anything other

than present themselves to someone else to fix. Which, if the

patients health were to be the main aim of the sytem would probably

work.

 

After all, with medical care being one of the major expenses of our

society, our medical care should be one of the best, not one of the

worst.

 

In reality what I believe should take place is that a patient is

given all of the options with real info and no gimmicked studies or

marketing BS, it should have no place in a good system of health

care. I don't think that is ever going to happen. So we have to make

do with what we can.

 

I wish that I could find a really good doctor for myself. I have

never found one yet. I don't want to be my own doctor. That should be

the job of the doctors. That is the reason that they get a lot of

money. Unfortunately, If I don't want to be drugged, radiated or cut,

damaged, mutilated etc, I don't have much choice, but to read, search

and do the research myself and if I need one, I might do better if

the guy even knows how to spell " Orthomolecular "

 

just my 2 cents,

Frank

Great! If anything will be done about incompetent practitioners, hiding

behind their natural health labels, it will have to be the result of remarks

made by their patients. This is also true of their methods of treatment.

 

If people were willing to speak honestly about their experiences with

doctors of all kinds, and the results they got after submitting to costly

therapies, people could make far better judgments about which practitioners

to see and which methods to try. This is potentially such an ambitious

project, that it would have to be on a state by state basis. California is

unusually large, and can boast having among the largest number of

alternative-care doctors anywhere on the planet. But, rest assured, half of

them are incompetent, which is bad enough, but many of that half, are also

outright fakes and hustlers. I've been to my share of them, and couldn't

believe how cynical and greedy some of them can be.

[Guest guest]

Dear Pam,

 

Yes, that is exactly what we are looking for.

 

Any practicioner who is well grounded in natural medicine.

 

Orthomolecular, NDs, Herbal, Nutritionists, ChineseTraditional

etc..as long as they are real pros.

 

There are quite a few others.

 

At this time we are not accepting names only in the Woo-Woo category.

 

thanks,

 

Frank

Dear Group,

 

Our database of Doctors using natural treatment methods has grown by

a few new links.

 

If you know of any doctors or health practioners that can be included

please email them to me.

 

Thanks,

 

Frank

Dear John,

 

To clarify about our database.

 

We aren't trying to evaluate most doctors out there who say they

practice alternative methods, but to just have a list, so that when

someone has to look for a doctor, who does practice decent medicine,

they can look through our list to add to their choices.

 

As you know, it is very hard to find a doctor who practices this

brand of medicine, so our list probably will not be a very long one.

 

Also, our members are from all over the world so it will natually

need to encompass wherever they are.

 

That is why I am asking for all members who have found a good one to

pass it on to the group to ba added to our database.

 

The doctor and practioner can be a naturopath, orthomolecular,

Chinese Tradional, etc.

 

I know that you members in Canada have quite a few naturopaths don't

you?

 

The same with some of you in certain states like Washington and

Oregon? Or Others?

 

thanks,

Frank

I'm searching my memory for a single " alternative " doctor that I can

recommend. One, a Dr. Gerald Benesh, aside from his unscientific

involvement in iridology, provided people with excellent natural diet

therapies, together with fasting and other natural methods. His approach

was well known to many people in the California area, and I only visited him

twice, with wonderful results. Unfortunately, at 90 years of age, he's

probably no longer in practice in Southern Calif.

I once went to a chiropractor who was able to relieve my back pain with a

lower back adjustment and manipulation; the pain never returned. She was

already in her early 80s when I visited her, and that was 20 years ago.

In all honesty, I cannot recommend a single one of the dozen alternative

doctors I have visited since. They were, in every case, either complete

charlatans, incompetent, or peddling fake cures, and absurdly expensive

supplements out of their offices.

I'm still looking and trying. If I run into someone I can respect and

recommend, I'll let you know.

Dr. Gary Gordon, who used to be here in Sacramento, although I think he

moved and now sells a line of iffy weak supplements.

[Guest guest]

Dear John,

 

I, like you, have never found one personally in my area, but I kinda

quit trying after awhile.

 

But, I have heard and read about a few who I think would be much

better than the average one out there.

 

I would probably try a couple of the ones that are listed in the

links, rather than just going to the average allopath out there.

That, I have found out is a good way to get damaged.

 

I have found that finding a good health practicioner is a very big

problem, at least for me.

 

That is why, I was hoping that as a group we could pool our

information so to speak.

 

thanks,

 

Frank
