Healthy Mindset #4 - Be Willing to Look Everywhere

It is nigh impossible to have optimal health if you only stick to one type of modality, one type of doctor or one philosophy.

Varied Modalities

In the healing arts there are many approaches.  Alopathic medicine is the most well known these days.  When you go to a typical family doctor, or when a doctor prescribes chemotherapy to a cancer patient or when a heart doctor recommends surgery this is allopathic.  Osteopathic is a doctor who will physically manipulate the body.  homeopathy believes like cures like and the body can heal itself if given a little help.  Others uses vitamins, some use herbs to improve or maintain health.  There are many more ideas out there.  My point is that the more we learn the more options we will have.  I believe it would be foolish to only seek for solutions to any health question in only one modality.

Doctors with Different Experience

Each type of doctor has different experiences and specialties.  It is possible to be working with an Ppropriate modality for your situation and yet be with a doctor that isnt the best for your situation.  You may need to look to different doctors within the same modality 

Doctors with Different Philosophies

Doctors hold a wide range of view points.  Remember to find a positive doctor who is solution conscious and believes he/she can solve your health problem.

You never Know where you will find Answers

You are to important to you, your family and to God to simply accept negative health advise.  Try looking at each health issue from different viewpoints as you never know where you might find the answer that might revive your health or stop an illness in its tracks.

Only You Can Choose to Keep Looking

Keep looking and learning because likely no one else will do it quite like you would.  As you find new ideas you will also have new choices.
