@woot I started seeing a functional medicine doctor almost two years and am not turning back. I will keep my primary care doctor but I now believe the functional medicine is the way to go. I agree with @nla4625 that they can be a supplement to your conventional doctor but they are so much more willing to dive deeper and look at alternative/integrative medicine. My "no progression" of my lung disease has nothing to do with conventional medicine. I did the big three four years ago but the MAC still came back so I've been off drugs for four years and exercise regularly and nebulize with 7% saline and am trying different things with my functional medicine doctor that a conventional doctor wouldn't try. And I don't fault conventional medicine. It is what it is. I just think that functional medicine has so much more to offer. Nan
