REASON #1: If it worked, my doctor would know about it.
Every month, thirty thousand medical journal articles are published.
Your doctor has his or her hands full just keeping up on the new drug interactions.
REASON #2: I have insurance coverage and you aren't covered.
So you have been given the options of drugs or surgery. Your doctor
is not paid by the insurance company to look up alternatives or to treat using alternatives.
REASON #3: It is too expensive.
Calculate the cost of your copays and prescriptions over the next year,
then over the next five years. Then calculate the cost over the rest of your lifetime, adjusting for possible drug side
effects. Invest in yourself now.
REASON #4: I don't trust alternative medicine.
I provide you with peer-reviewed medical journal articles supporting
our treatment options. I also provide you with a satisfaction guarantee because I do change my treatments based on patient
feedback. My patients are all referred by other satisfied patients.
REASON #5: I don't have any time.
If your body was your car, you would bring it in now because you know
that delaying care leads to greater problems.
