Has anyone been to a functional medicine practitioner vs dermatologist?

Sorry going a bit off topic again but to help in what I was saying, you may have heard about the dodgy breast implants from France? People paid for them privately but now want the Government to pay to put it right. So what I'm saying is yes it's good too look at some natural alternatives, but be VERY VERY careful as the world is full of false promises that will cost you a fortune and could end up making matters worse. Then when your body has been ruined by a quack you will end up talking with a professional in the end in the hope of putting things right, if it's not to late.

That I agree with and it does better explain to me what you were meaning, thanks!

I don't think it's "off topic" so much as it's just concerns we all have to think of. When it comes down to it, the treatment chosen is a personal choice and we can all only hope we've put ourselves in good hands. When the cautions on medications sometimes sound worse than what they are treating, I'm always open to listening with an open mind.

Kelly, thank you for starting this thread as it has opened a good discussion. I hope your visit goes well.
