Is this common among alternative practitioners?!


Question: Is this common among alternative practitioners.?
A colleague of my wife wanted to be a doctor (a real doctor) until she got a 20 on her MCAT. Now she's planning on studying homeopathy. Is this a common source of alternative practitioners.? People who couldn't cut it in real medicine opt for an easier alternative.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It may well be common amongst alties, it's hard to say. But anyone going into homeopathy has got to be either deluded or a scam artist. Perhaps they have a high dropout rate, once the reality of homeopathy becomes clear.

homeopaths are also real doctors. It's a science and not a fluke technique.A degree course from a reputed college is of 5 years duration.If you look around you will find so many husband and wife successful teams of allopathic and homeopathic doctors who complement each other in resolving medical problems.If you can't get admission in MBBS and you are determined to make your career in medicine then it is wiser to go for homeopathy than to waste one year with no guarantee that next year you will get the admission.Health Question & Answer

Nope. She may study homeopathy but if she couldn't pass other exams she won't do well there, either. I think most people who go into alternative medicine have a great interest in natural healing and since they love studying about it decide to turn it into a full-time occupation. This doesn't mean your wife's acquaintance won't make a fine practitioner. Some people just don't test well. I once worked with a midwife who knew the female anatomy inside and out but when she tested she "locked up" in fear of failure. She was an excellent practitioner & the testing board gave her time to prove it.Health Question & Answer

Why do you find it so important what a colleague of your wife's is doing.? She has made her decision. She knows her strong points and weak ones. She knows how much time and money she has. It's her prerogative to make this life decision.
Are you just feeling condescending tonight. I doubt that any alternative specialists wanted to be MDs. One of the reasons is that we don't feel that MDs are prescribing the right medications for the right diseases. Big Pharmaceutical companies have taken over the healing industry and are now controlling the MDs.
There is a place for medical doctors and there is a place for alternative health specialists. Please let people decide what THEY want to do, and not what you want them to do.Health Question & Answer

Just because it's Alternative medicine doesn't make it any easier. Some of the Naturopaths I've met are smarter then most of the doctors (GP's) I've been too. She may be taking this approach because it is easier to get into and if she has a strong urge to help people then this is one way she can do it. It's probably a different process getting in too, if you can prove that you really want to help people and you are willing to learn than they will most likely accept you on that rather than an enter score!! I say good luck to her!Health Question & Answer

No in fact most of them have to study longer and more in depth as they must know both sides the medical and the herbal. If she does not strive a lot harder she wont make it there either. This is a much harder field to succeed in because you are usually alone in your area you can not get help from fellow doctors or coworkers you have to know it on your own. you want have the pharmaceutical company telling you what drugs have been created for what problems you have to know what herb or homeopathic source is needed to help with the problem on your own. if she did not make it in the medical field and thinks she is going to just pick this up with no problems she is in for a big surprise.

My Grandmas Lung Cancer. she was given 6 weeks to live she told the doctor that she would not accept this and would find a anther way she did when she went back to the doctors they told her that she had never had cancer in her life when they brought up the charts every thing matched except the fact that to two inoperable tumors and all sign of cancer were gone. the tumors were gone. She lived for 22 years

I had pancreantitis the doctors just said I was going to die there was nothing they could do again I went my Grandmas way I have lived for two years now and have no signs of pancreas.

My sister was born with a funnel in her brain the doctors told us she would be a vegetable for her whole life. my mom would not accept this and went natural my sister is now 12 years old she is completely normal the doctors just say that it is impossible but my sister is spending the night at my house tonight and she is right her perfectly normal. I could go on and on I now many stories but you are so skeptical it would do no good. You can believe in your doctors but we also can believe in ours. that is your right and this is ours.Health Question & Answer
