Integrative medicine, keto diets, etc

You asked what goals I have in thinking about an integrative med dr. I’m doing everything right to treat and contain my broch/Mac diseases. I see Dr Huitt at National Jewish and a specialist here at University of NC. Successful this year keeping infections at bay. But I ache all over and have unreasonable fatigue. Dr Huitt told me to go gluten free years ago. I strictly follow a gluten free diet. But I want to find out if there’s more I can do. After clicking on all the links you gave me, I’ve decided to try the Paleo diet for 2 weeks before I look for an Int Med doc. Thanks for your help.

@woot. I'd suggest you do a google search to find a health professional near you who practices functional medicine. Their approach is to look "under the hood" to see what is really going on in your body and healing the root causes by the problems. More often than not, problems are being caused by toxins in your body or allergies, such as food allergies, and nutritional deficiencies. They work with you to remove the toxins and add missing nutrients and minerals enabling the body to heal itself. Three times over 74 years conventional medicine failed me, and gifted health care professionals practicing alternative, integrative, or functional medicine got me on the road to better health. They supplemented, rather than replaced, my conventional doctors; and together we made an amazing team working toward the same goal. Good luck on your journey. Nancy
