Contentious: This remains a very hot and difficult topic. I have seen several patients with great benefit from mm. I have not written many prescription slips for it, but anecdotally many patients swear by it. There is not a lot of evidence of toxicity. I think in the balance it is a good alternative for some.....But legality and politics remain an issue.

Second opinion: There is no way you can provide enough information to get a reliable second opinion on healthtap. For your sake, i hope your doctor knows more about your situation than the brief summary you gave here. I would recommend taking any second opinion you get here or elsewhere, due to lack of information, with a grain of salt.
