I think you are on to something Pam!! Check it out !!
I have been seeing a licensed naturopathic physican who is also a licensed practioner of Chinese medicine since February, 1999. He is also a licensed acupucturist. I attend lectures by various naturopaths or practioners of Chinese medicine and acupuncturists. My natuorpath has helped me tremendously and I believe he has contributed to my survival.
Just make sure the person you see is well educated and licensed. A licensed naturopath has an N. D. after the name. An acupucturist has a LaC. after the name. A doctor of Chinese medicine has a D.C.M after the name. A doctor who practices integrative medicine should be educated and licensed in both conventional and naturopathic or Chinese medicine. Sometimes they are M. D.s or O.D.s. Integrative medicine is used by the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, M. D. Anderson and Memorial Sloan Kettering and other major hospitals that treat cancer, so there must be good things about it.
Good luck. Take good care of yourself. I have my fingers crossed for you.
