I am incredibly biased because of my personal experince of ill health and the 'conventional' medical system which eventually ended when I saw a Naturopath about 5 years ago. I don't see doctors anymore - nor have I needed to since finding a fabulous Naturopath. I call it the 'system of illness' - where treatment consists of 'medicine' which is a band-aid approach that addresses the symptoms, and not the cause of the problem - which is the biggest problem with it!! It reminds me of that Whitlams song, "the drugs don't work, they just make you worse, and I know I'll see your face again.."

Definitely get into the system of natural medicine - it is the secret to long life and happiness in my opinion!! Contact ANTA (Australian Natural Therapists Association) if you need assistance in finding a registered and experienced Naturopath working near you.
And in the meantime, I highly highly recommend getting him onto the probiotic + superfood supplement 'In-Liven' - there is an article here on belly belly about it, otherwise you can order it from the Onegroup website. Expensive but brilliant - needs to be kept in fridge once opened.

Goodluck!
