This has been my experience. After not getting answers for a long time from conventional doctors, I went to a naturopath out of desperation. I was diagnosed with "mold toxicity", and took a bunch of supplements to boost all the low levels I had (B12 and cortisol). I also took flax seeds to help with "detox". All the stuff helped a bit, but only a bit. It was still just symptom fighting. Now to be fair, there are people whose lives have been changed by these treatments, because in some cases someone just happens to be low in some essential micronutrient, and seeing a naturopath solves that when a traditional doctor didn't do a broad assay. But it still doesn't help people like me where whatever is happening can't be described by surface level blood tests and treatments. Naturopaths talk about "wholistic health", but if it's so wholistic, why don't they consider intermediate reactions? So it's become a life goal of mine to build a quantitative metabolic reaction database. I'm currently a applied math major with a chemistry minor, so in a couple years I hope to be able to make some headway on this. |
