I got off the western medical train over a decade ago. Here's what we do (and we are the healthiest we have ever been in life since making these changes. And before making these changes I had horrible health issues since childhood that have been endlessly treated by docs but never healed, until i finally took my health into my own hands):
We have no general doctor and haven't needed one in a very very long time
We get blood tests done direct from a local lab to monitor our health ourselves
DNA testing to find what our problems really were and fixed them once and for all. (I know this is controversial but the gov already has everyone's dna on file from pku at birth so I may as well benefit and in my case it has saved my life so i don't care).
Lifestyle is everything. Food will kill you or heal you. Never underestimate the power of food.
We monitor blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood oxygen at home and stay in range.
If we need a professional we go to either a functional medicine doctor or naturopath depending on the issue
We don't have insurance anymore and we have a health savings account instead and if we need something we have more than enough to cover it and get a discount as a bonus
As a woman I will never ever subject myself to yearly screening for breast cancer, if I suspect something there is a thermal alternative that won't give me breast cancer. Also, I gave birth to my last at home with a midwife, you wouldn't catch me in the maternity ward again after my first experience there. (Women, doctors have wrongly convinced you that you can't give birth without them, this is false, nature made us to give birth, it is our primary function, medical intervention is what's causing so many problems with pregnancy and birth, not nature.)
We are and have always been antivax and we have the strongest immune systems of everyone we know, and believe me, they took notice over the years and joined us eventually.
I'm happy to answer any questions.
