No, I don't handle big pharma medications very well. Things like claritin make me hallucinate. So, yes..I use alternative methods such as herbal medications, aromatherapy and supplements..vitamins, amino acids etc.

I have itching reactions to most prescription pain medications and I also have a very high tolerance for them. If I have a pain that I think can be releived by either hot or cold compresses than I will use that.

My body reacts strangely to medications. For example, most pain meds don't work well on me, and one of the common NSAIDs paralyzes me. Novacaine does not work on me usually. So I endure as long as I can, try some alternate methods, and then give up and go to the dr or dentist, to get something that may or may not work. I usually ask for samples or a very low amount on the script until I know what it will do to me.

No, I handle a lot of pain medications poorly..I can't take aspirin or tylenol..They just give me morphine based derivatives...my liver and kidney function has been questionable in the past..so generally they try to keep away from anything that is metabolized poorly by the liver or causes side effects like blood thining:(

I don't do well with allopathic medicines. I seem to suffer from all the side effects. That is why I usually turn to herbs and foods and they either don't have side effects or they are just what you need to get better. We also use Chinese medicines more. I find they are very useful on an individual basis. What I mean is, if you have a headache, there isn't one thing for a headache, it depends on your body type, your eating habits, your tongue, your pulses, many different things or it may not work. But when you use the right formula or herb, it's wonderful. We also use different forms of bodywork, like massage and shiatsu, jin shin, and such as my husband is a MT.

I do not use medications. Being a Naturopath, I handle my and my family's ailments using only alternative methods. Alternative methods are nothing but using natural methods that nature provides to cure diseases, both acute and chronic.

My doctors gave up trying to give me drugs in my 20's 40 years ago as I am chemically intolerant. Have used homeopathic remedies and lately Australian Bush Flower Essences and do best with the ABFE. The book that helped me the most was Australian Bush Flower Healing by Ian White I went on to take courses and help others now

I use Korean Ginseng for memory, Valerian root for stress, and homeopathic pills for weight loss. I love all of them. All work great for me.

No I don't. I usually experience all the negative side effects. I take Life Force energy vitamins and they seem to work okay.
