But do we really get the best of medical attention whenever we seek medical help? We may have been worse off if our doctor, usually a general practitioner, prescribed a strong antibiotic that could wipe out not only those that caused us harm but also those which are beneficial like the lactic acid bacteria. This is the "shotgun approach" to the cause of disease. Eventually, this could lead to the weakening of our immune system and render us susceptible to other kinds of disease-causing microorganisms. Also, this is one of the reasons why naturopathy, a natural way to deal with disease, came into being.
We should therefore take time to find out the best medical professional available to help us out when we are sick and single out the cause of the disease. It is always a good practice to confer with not only one medical professional, rather two or three, especially if we are confronted with a major intervention like surgery where we definitely lose some of our body parts. Thorough knowledge of the different types of doctors must also be had so we are assured of the best care possible for our condition.
