Can Alternative Medicine Practitioners
REALLY See Primary Care Patients?

Consider this fact: more than half of the patients I’ve seen as an Alternative Medicine Practitioner have been for Primary Care health issues. This includes seeing children, teens, adults and elderly patients. What specific kinds of conditions have I seen and consulted with patients for?

I’m talking about Primary Care and Secondary Care health issues, including, but not limited to: 

• Physical examinations, although my technique may differ somewhat from that of a traditionally trained Primary Care Provider.
   
• Management of degenerative illnesses such as cancer, asthma, emphysema, certain heart conditions and rheumatoid arthritis.
   
• Management of chronic conditions, such as ulcers, constipation, insomnia, Diabetes, hypertension, high and low blood pressure, hearing difficulties caused by wax build-up and thyroid conditions.
   
• Management of acute and sub-acute disorders such as colds, flu, inflammation, headaches, acid reflux and skin conditions.
   
• Management of certain common psychiatric problems seen in the Primary Care setting such as depression and anxiety with appropriate referral as needed.
   
• Emergencies such as food poisoning, minor lacerations not requiring stitches and uncomplicated orthopedic problems.
   
• Preventive educational emphasis targeting common health issues, including, but not limited to, tobacco and alcohol and drug abuse, diet, obesity, venereal disease, HIV/Hepatitis C, injury prevention.

Bear in mind that I never treat an illness directly. My philosophy is that if you treat the whole person you’ll naturally be taking care of whatever symptoms are present.

How did an Alternative Medicine Practitioner get to see Primary Care Patients? 

How is it that I was able to see patients for the kinds of health issues most people think you must see a traditional Medical Doctor for?

As uncomplicated and surprising as it may sound... they came to me willingly, knowing that, as an Alternative Medicine Practitioner, I was fully capable of meeting their needs.

Those patients didn’t allow themselves to be fooled or confused by all of the nonsense and misinformation you read in mainstream magazines or see and hear on TV. Most of my patients were referred by word-of-mouth and they had a good idea about what kinds of health issues I could competently handle.

I paid my dues and so has every other well-trained Alternative Medicine Practitioner I’m aware of. Is there a well-orchestrated conspiracy afoot that ‘s keeping unsuspecting Americans in the dark about this entire Primary Care accessibility problem? Read on and YOU be the judge.
