Marino Center?

[evinza.livejournal.com]

I am in the market for a new doctor in the area, and wondered if anyone has had any experience with the Marino Center for Progressive Health.  I want a doctor who is open to prevention, natural/alternative health remedies, etc., not someone who is just going to hand me a prescription after talking to me for 2 minutes.  Any input would be great.  Thanks!

I have seen an increasing tendency in advertisement and printed discussion to use the word "homeopathic" when the actual intent is "naturopathic".

Including bottles of things at CVS that have listed active ingredients.

So I have made the complaint of yours many time, but now I add this caveat. Herbal remedies does not equal homeopathic.

I think people just like the sound of the word, honestly.

Agreed! I do think there is a lot of vocabulary confusion around this topic. I personally have had much success with natural remedies in the past (as well as much harm with prescription drugs) and want a doctor who is at least open to the discussion of the different options available to me.

In any event, I thank everyone who replied, and welcome more replies.

I agree. There seems to be some general confusion in the public between the terms "naturopathy" and "homeopathy." I went to the Marino Center for several years for allergy treatment and found them to be very good. I saw a dietitian and a nurse practitioner, both of whom were very open to alternative treatments.
