Chronic itching, no response to various diets or skin treatments

Medications can cause this, especially blood thinners, thyroid drugs and beta blockers. Prequel is a lotion that works wonders for me. Dermatologists probably have some answers, though you might have to try several of them. If you are dealing with alternative practitioners, make sure they have either functional medicine or the Andrew Weil Fellowship.

I tend to agree. I trust any natural medicine practitioner who is also an MD.
There are Holistic MDs, Integrative Medicine MDs (as in the Andrew Weil folks), Functional Medicine...Osteopaths too.
No one who goes to school for 8 years past high school is an idiot.
(well, I guess there are exceptions. After all, Doc Holiday was a talented murderer and he was a dentist).
I also trust massage therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and others.
But, I also think they don't necessarily have a full range of experience and knowledge. To my mind the best way to go is to run the alternative therapies by an MD. If the MD approves or just thinks it won't cause harm...then you have some confirmation.
