Good post, inedible.

The non-med route is certainly possible, but if you gonna do it, you need to research it throughly before starting on it (yes, I am doing the non-med route, but I have years and years of zen and yoga practice and I am basically a witch doctor...).

If you really wanna do it, and are determined to face all the difficulties you should talk to your doctor. If he is absolutelly non-willing to talk with you, than you can start looking for someone else. Naturopaths can be good, but you need to be aware of the scammers and bad ones. Research, research and research some more.
