Hey Frens, anyone know of a good source/list of based docs? Or how to find some? I could’ve sworn I saved a list at one point but can’t find not now. Our pediatrician is full of shit and we will not be going back (full on pressure for the jabs and flu shot- made my wife sign a waiver that we weren’t giving a flu shot to our toddler- as if they would accept any responsibility for shit anyways- just straight up fear tactics and I’m tired of it). We’re in FL btw, but any help you wonderful pedes could provide will be GREATLY appreciated!!
don’t know what I’d do without you amazing people helping us keep our sanity and positivity during this nonsense. Thank you all just for being here and being AWAKE!
I suggest doing a search in your area for Functional Medicine Doctors. Even if you have to drive a ways to get to one (and they most likely do telemedicine or video zoom appointments for routine stuff.) They are medical doctors, but they have a more natural approach and look for the root cause of an issue. They will try supplements and natural remedies before reaching for the prescription pad, but it's there when necessary. The ones I know are very based. Good luck. I hope you find someone you trust.
Found this link. https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner/
Oh nice! I didn't even know about this. Thanks for posting it. I hope you are able to find a great doctor near you.
Thanks.
Hmm, this is interesting. I used that site and searched for my area, just to see how many FMDs I could find and my own doctor wasn't even on the list!! Makes me wonder. He is very based and now I wonder if there is a reason he's not on the list -- like maybe he considers that organization untrustworthy or something. I'll have to ask him. Anyway, I'm saying this because I wanted to suggest not limiting your search only to that site. Maybe also do just a basic search for FMDs in your area because there might be others (like mine) who aren't even on that list. And I suppose you could also ask for an interview with any prospective doctors. They might be willing to spend a bit of time with you answering your questions (so you can get a sense of where they stand) and not charge you. Let us know if you find someone.
Thank you. Never heard that term.
