Alternative Med. advice wanted

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We've stopped vaxing a couple/few years ago, and eat healthy (local,

organic, lots of vegs and fruit) but this year at least one of the six

of us has been sick every month (colds, flu, seasonal allergies, stomach

bugs). We've always kind of avoided allpath (?) med. When we've gone to

our D.O. family doc this year, it's alway been " you're doing the right

thing, liquids, rest, tea w/ honey. " At least doc's not pushing meds,

but he's not helping either. Sorry I'm rambling, on to my questions.

Can anyone recommend a holistic online group (books and websites too)?

I have the following books, 'Alternative Medicine the definitive guide',

'Everybody's guide to Homeopathic med' by Cummings and Ullman,

'Vaccinations' by Romm, and Menelsohn's 'How to Raise..'

I've been reading a lot the last couple of months, but am not sure what

type of alternative care makes the most since to me. Help I'm

floundering a bit. We want a new or additional health adviser, maybe as

nutritionist (prefer natural foods, not supplements), herbalist,

naturopathic (is this a general term or specific?), massage therapist,

only a little homeopathic. Please help me figure out which direction to

go in.

Here's a list of " things " I'm interested in, but have a lot to learn

about.

flaxseed (oil, meal)

probiotics

apple cider vinegar

grapeseed

Vit C

B12

bee pollen

ecinasia

aconite

arnica

elderberry

teas

Can be these items be purchased as a sole ingredient, prefer from food

or from natural resource? Which brand(s)? When I went shopping for

Ecinasia, for example, all the brands had other ingredients.

Thank you,
