Oh my goodness, I feel your pain!!! I'm not "against" conventional medicine as it clearly has a purpose and a place, but I'm frustrated that holistic and conventional can't seem to coexist. I'm an LPN and have worked ambulatory care for 8 years. I want to help patients, I want to educate them, but I feel like my hands are tied, and I'm not allowed to say anything that wouldn't be scripted by the doctor. I see no reason why the knowledge we have as nurses can't be used alongside a holistic approach to help improve lifestyle. If you come up with anything that has been helpful let me know! There are no holistic practices where I live, and I'm pretty sure even if there were, they wouldn't accept my conventional credentials:/
