Thank you for your reply to the intern. Some of the best results I have seen with patients is a a group of MD's that would see patients immediate health need and then send them over to consultation with an natural health professional for the long lasting life style changes that are necessary for good health. This solved the MD's problem of time with people (let's face it, 10 min. with a person is not enough time for life change!) and let the natural health professional (who is better equipped to handle this because the focus of their education is health, not illness) guide these people. The MD does follow up on the people. I would love to see this more balanced approach more often.
