I said that > wasn't true. We are finally having a showdown about issues like this. I'm sorry your current doctor is so biased and uninformed and hope you are able to find a good one soon. It looks as though he has been reading fraudulent research. After reading research daily for ten years, I decided that the research done by psychiatrists and psychologists is fraudulent (and irrelevant), for two reasons: 1) The disease definition they use is so broad that it can include everyone who is depressed or who doesn't go to bed early enough. 2) It excludes sick people--because sick people are stuck in their bedrooms and can't fulfill the requirements for getting to a clinic repeatedly. Does anyone know what naturopaths read? Do they have a different approach, or do they also succumb to blame-the-patient when someone doesn't get better quickly?
