but I will look into everything now instead of blindly consuming.
There you go! That's the right attitude. All I ask is that you be careful of the sources of the information you use to make your informed decisions.
There are competing forces at work and there is a happy medium between the two camps. It is impossible to know what is the best protocol for every health problem. Sometimes going to the doctor to get their opinion is not necessary, and other times it's critical and ones only choice for a superior outcome. It is always better to get more information from a knowledgeable source versus ignorance. Hopefully, just like finding a good car mechanic, you have found a good physician that looks after you instead of their own pocketbook.
Good luck and thanks for not taking my comments the wrong way.
Cheers
