100%!!! I learned western medicine wasn't for me years ago, when 5 different doctors failed to properly diagnose and/or treat my hypothyroidism and other health ailments. I started going to holistic / chiropractic doctors who have helped me in immeasurable ways. One of the biggest ways is learning how vitamin/mineral deficiencies can lead to symptoms (which modern medicine calls "diseases"), which can then be cured by supplementing with the appropriate vitamin.
Also, it cannot be stated enough - we can ALL be our own doctors! We have the world's most expansive research tool at our disposal and can research / educate ourselves about any illness / symptom / disease. Can it be challenging / exhausting at times? Absolutely! But SO rewarding to take control of our own health! Although it can take years to undo programming and learn how to take care of ourselves, everyone needs to start somewhere.
I would love to see the future of medicine go back to traditional roots - where we had local doctors who prescribed herbs, vitamins, and supplements, and made house calls (one can dream!) and where each person had the knowledge and ability how to treat and cure themselves.

The only thing that would be nice is the access to diagnostic equipment and lab testing. This would help with troubleshooting.
