The limitations are complex but are mostly due to "health" insurance and pharmaceutical companies. This is why integration with doctors who are experts in natural therapeutics is necessary. Many doctors (and other conventional practitioners) are cultivated to think a certain way in school and therefore close their minds to things they don't understand. I think Dr. Oz is a great role model for all doctors; just because he doesn't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't work, and this is why he is so successful. It seems so simple and obvious to encourage health and healing first if you are going to call yourself a doctor. Yet every doctor cannot possibly know everything about what supports and accelerates healing and which drugs block which enzymes to help a symptom and how to intubate a patient. This is why we have specialists and since specialties did not exist in the field of Naturopathy within medical schools we had to open our own medical schools. We don't have the big pharma money to do research on on every fruit, nut, and twig found in nature and most times our approach is so multi factorial anyway that it would only give us part of the picture. Anyway, thanks for stimulating this discussion and I'm glad you enjoyed my article. I hope you continue to visit my blog!Dr. Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033611070592222893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710838939863104115.post-4362699085533769762009-01-25T15:09:00.000-08:002009-01-25T15:09:00.000-08:00Hi Dr. CrawfordExcellent article.

I don't think this type of information can be said enough in our society today as conventional medicine has just failed too many people and made health a standardized commodity all too much.<BR/><BR/>It is thus great to learn as much as possible about the field of naturopathy as I know many people are curious, but hesitant as they just don't know enough. So the more info out there on this the better.<BR/><BR/>To me naturopathy is the way of the future and had I been exposed to it when I was going to university, I would have chosen that degree over the strict science one any day. Now I am increasing my knowledge and getting certified as a holistic nutritionist and hopefully pursue that to become a natural health care practitioner too.Evitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918247581691009147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710838939863104115.post-66549841166002502142009-01-22T10:54:00.000-08:002009-01-22T10:54:00.000-08:00Thanks Gabriel!
