Dr Thomas Baldwin
He's in Leonardtown
I don't know the laws/requirements for holistic doctors (if there even are any) but I know he advertises himself as one.

or...
Depending on what the need is; we have a holistic nutritionist in my office too! She's not a doctor tho.

i'd go see a doctor, not a dentist with an MS in some nutritional detoxifying crap....
here is the thing to remember about Holistic "healers", if they try to sell you any products at their offices, they are scamming you. I would go see a real doctor for a second opinion.

I do see two regular dr's about this issue. I am tired ALL of the time and tired of taking tons of medication and caffiene.
well go see who you want, but if they are trying to sell you "detoxifiers" and nutritional suplements i would raise the :BS: flag.
addtionally, there are plenty of real doctors that are open to "newer" medicine, ideas, and treatments, but it is important that you are getting medical advice from a doctor. not someone with an MS who claims they can cure everything from meloncoly to asthma with their snake oil.

Maybe more of what you are looking for is an osteopath? They are medical doctors with the same training but they are focused on your whole health and you as a whole preson, rather than just your illness..this way you get sound medical care...along with someone that will help you find alternative and newer treatments... Osteopaths have the designation DO ofter their name rather than MD... Dr. Schmidt in L-town is a DO...I have not gone to her enough to really recommend her skills as a DO but she did do some bloodwork and identify some vitamin problems I was having..and give me scripts for that...and it has helped..most doctors would ignore that..or downplay it. good luck..dealing with doctors can be a pain sometimes when you have an issue.

Maybe that will be better. Because I do have regular dr's that help me with the offical medication that I do take. I just hate being so tired and drained all the time.
See I know if I posted here someone could at least point me in the direction.

I actually went to see Dr. Schmidt because of tiredness as well..she did the usual thyroid, iron tests, etc..but also checked some things out that others normally dont...ie vitamins and such...she identified a few things..gave me some supplements..and I will go follow up with her..I don't know if she is the warmest doc I have ever seen but so many seem to like her..I think Dr. Cafferty is a Do too..not positive...there are a few around.

Actually, a lot of physicians are now praticing holistic medicine. This is not quackery or using herbal remedies but a holistic approach to healing which emphasizes the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical elements of the patient, and treat the whole person in this context. I have been to several specialists that all offer regular therapy along with holistic healing. It works.
Some examples of holistic approaches include ayurveda, chiropractic, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, naturopathy, Unani and reflexology. Ancient pratices used in concert with modern medicine (hopefully natural sourced vice synthetic), really does seem to work. and I'm very happy with it.

the problem with holistic and homeopathic "doctors" is that they many times aren't medical doctors. A lot of times the only "degree" they hold is a certification from some other money grubber.
I say as long as the "Dr" is an MD you wont be harmed, but dont fall for some line of crap from a person with a certificate who is only trying to sell you a bunch supplements.

DO are medical doctors. they take insurance like regular mds. doctors without an md or do are often not covered because they are "alternative" treatments..you have to check your insurance..I know dr schmidt takes many insurances.
