A member asked:

I am interested being treated holistically by a functional medicine practitioner. do you offer any non-allopathic advice here?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Yes, but the info...: Yes, there is non-allopathic information on healthtap, but any type of information should be based on some good evidence. If information is spread around, but has no good research or science behind it, then it must be taken with lots of doubt and skepticism. Otherwise, anybody who talks a good talk will be able to convince a person to buy an advertised treatment or advertised "medical" therapy.

Yes we offer it: Holistic alternative medicine is based on integrating both traditional and complementary services. I strongly believe that most questions, diseases, symptoms can have a traditional and or an alternative approach. Your desire to treat this way is welcome so ask your questions. And yes my info is based on research, experience and thousands of years of ancient medicine techniques.

My M.D. is allopathic, and most of what I draw from in my practice is functional medicine training and age management training. What can I help you with?
