Oh yes, Lorna, you are making a lot of sense! I, too, have experienced and continue to experience a difficult path because even though my MD is also homeopathic, she tends to base all my ills upon my mental status!
I am learned enough to know not to fight such a viewpoint; trying to explain it to the MD, in her mind, would only add credence that it's all psychological.
Well, she knows it's also physical which is why she does treat me too.
Very confusing issue.
What adds to the conflict is that my personal beliefs are such that I know someone can be healed without medical intervention. I believe God uses doctors, for sure, but doesn't always require them. The mind-body connection is part of our being, what we think does change our bodies, and vice versa.
It's a personal battle to find where we can sit comfortably on that continuum, and work from there on our healing.
