They seem to be about halfway between a regular MD and a homeopathic doctor; they apparently start their education on the same road an MD takes but then diverge from it into a more holistic medicine model. Mine gave me a choice between herbal supplements or pharmaceuticals that are both intended to do the same things. It was really nice having a choice on which ones I wanted to take rather than being treated like an idiot who can't decide for herself what to put in her own body. I also have the distinct advantage that I already knew a little bit about some of the supplements he gave me and was really impressed that it was even an option. You might want to check them out for the next time someone tries to tell you that homeopathic remedies don't work.
