[QUOTE="Josie, post: 291212, member: 1792"] Sadly, I have issues with big pharma and medicine the way it is currently practiced. (throw medications at symptoms with each doctor looking only at their part of the body, without looking for why the symptom is occurring.) I think you have to do your own research, including boards like this one where other patients tell their experience. Then weigh the risks and costs of treatment along with the potential help. I have always pursued the conventional mainstream treatment first, now researching to make sure I agree with what they are doing. When I wasn't getting any help there, I researched further online. I ended up solving my daughter's ODD while looking for the answer to my other daughter's stomach problems. I had taken difficult child 1 to psychiatrists and tdocs and difficult child 2 to GI docs and pediatricians. While looking on a celiac board, I found a lot of them used a lab (not accepted by mainstream medicine) and were happy with the results. So I tried the lab. All that was at risk was $$. Maybe the lab isn't legit and I could have just tried the diet without it but I am not sorry that I did it. I don't think there is any way to know for sure what to trust. Even the drugs with proven track records don't work for every one. There are risks to trying things but there are risks to doing nothing, too. I wish I could go back to the days where I just believed what the doctor told me without question. It is pretty scary to think that you can't necessarily trust the doctor. [/QUOTE]
