What's the best way to find a local primary care doctor with more of an "alternative medicine" leading?


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.

In the closet, hoping the AMA and drug companies don't find out.

Insurance may not be willing to help you here. Look in the indexes of the references below for listings of organizations that will help you locate this kind of treatment.
