Most of us sometime in our lives will be using alternative therapies  i.e Massage,Reflexology, acupuncture , dry needling etc and anything  “herbal”.  Sometimes the Medical Doctors  are not sure about what “these” are so please educate/share with them, they are willing to listen sometimes they just might be okay with it, other times the “alternative ” might be a bad thing to do as well.  A lot of well meaning people like to play “doctor” because they took a weekend class or watched a You tube video. However these well meaning people just might be the one who are keeping you sick or even worse they are killing you.  It is vital that you tell your Medical Doctors you are taking “herbal remedies ” because they might interfere with your med’s and hinder your recovery. There is a Study that was done in Denver Co back in 2002 with over 500 medical doctors that were asked about  if they knew about ‘Alternative therapies ” and over 57% said they would like to know more about them. So please share with your Medical Doctors that you are using ” alternative ” so they can best assist you in your recovery/healing.  We have been blessed to be able to share a number of local Medical Doctors on what we teach here at School of Holistic Massage and Reflexology . They have had patients that were using “alternative ” therapies so they wanted to learn more. They have shared with me that they would love if their patients actually were ‘Honest” with them as well. They are okay with you doing ‘ alternative” .. however sometime we think we know more then they do, that is when they get a little frustrated  with those of us that do ” alternatives”
