List Of Alternative Medicine
list of alternative medicine question by Jesse M: Can anyone recommend a pediatrician in NYC who doesn’t think that the whole vaccine/autism link is bogus?
There really isn’t a category specific enough for this question, so I thought I should post it here also. Thanks.
I am tired of fighting my child’s doctor. Actually, I’m pretty tired of mainstream medicine in general, but it has to be covered by my insurance,so I don’t have a choice.
I don’t need someone who is on the DAN list necessarily, but I need someone who isn’t HOSTILE to the alternative medical community’s treatments and who doesn’t automatically write off the whole vaccine/autism thing as being a lie stupid people tell themselves.
This is my child I am talking about; I am asking you in advance to only answer me if you have the answer I’m seeking. I’m not interested in a debate on this topic or being upset even more today than I already am.
Thanks Luci. I’ll check my provider list and see if any of them take my insurance.
Luci, no, none of these doctors are on my insurance, and since they seem to be DAN doctors, I have pretty much come to the conclusion that it’s a given that they won’t be.
I just need a pediatrician who while NOT a DAN doctor, per se, just isn’t all gung ho about vaccinations and is willing to try to test anything she can figure out an insurance code for. I just want someone who is not as totally not on the same page with me as my daughter’s first pediatrician or this one.
Thank you, KNIFEMAN, I appreciate the fairness of that response.
Well, unfortunately, that’s what I find myself doing, for me (for different reasons) as well as for my child. It is incredibly time-consuming and very frustrating and upsetting and all I can do is wish to God I had the money to throw at a holistic pediatrician.
