In my humble opinion, doctors that practice conventional medicine aren't going to accept the fact that you've turned to natural remedies. I suggest finding a reputable health food store and ask for advice there. My boyfriend manages a health food store, and the people who work there have a wealth of knowledge to share. When deciding to go natural, the most important thing to do is to purchase high quality supplements. A lot of pharmaceutical companies put out "natural" products that contain low quality ingredients that make you feel worse. So avoid buying from places like retail stores and supermarkets.

I'm taking Source Naturals' St. John's Wort Positive Thoughts, MegaFood Adrenal Strength (essential for worriers, as we have worn out our adrenal glands), and I also take Herb Pharm's Pharma Kava Kava (liquid concentrate). A couple of other good companies that put out high quality supplements are NewChapter and Gaia Herbs.

Before starting a new regimen with natural products, you may want to consider doing a detox first to get all of those nasty chemicals out of your body.

I hope some of this helped! Good luck on your new HEALTHIER journey with natural remedies.
