No matter how long you’ve
been sick and in treatment, at some point, that treatment protocol has
to change from a search and destroy mission, where you are constantly taking antibiotics, to a recovery mission where you are rebuilding.

their patient knowing precisely when to change and bring in the restorative prod- ucts. A patient who seeks out an integrative medical provider is covered every step of their journey as they navigate back to good health.
Healing is not always about destroying but understanding what has been destroyed and having the appropriate resources to step in and rebuild. Those who are chronically ill and who continue to take antibiotics long after the infection is gone stand to become even more sick as various organs become impacted by a treatment whose only mis- sion is to destroy. I personally advocate for self-choice. Have this conversation with your medical provider. Understand the path that you are on for healing and if you’re not ok with that, speak up. You have a say in how you are treated and you have choices not only in treatment, but with which medi- cal providers. You need to be heard and feel that you are understood and that your provider is doing what you want. This is an integrative approach to healing, one where you can use your voice and make decisions about your treatment options.
