I live in a small town in Canada and My aunt lives in the big city, Maybe that's the difference. Some of the small towns are starting clinics offering different types of "doctors" like Chiropractor, Herbalist, MD, and others. Ours is not there yet but I hope it is coming soon. My Doctor usually asks me what I think and if I want drugs or not...He knows I just use him to look where I can't look, In ears, etc. I have not used Antibiotics on my son for a year and a half. I have found that the doctors in big cities are very much the kings-of-their-own-small-exsistence, "Off with their ideas, (commoners)." I think the genral consensus here is EDUCATE YOURSELF. thanks for all the conversation about this topic. I hope my aunt will listen to other people besides doctors.
