Basically, if you have a mystery illness that doesn't go away after years of regular treatment, going to a naturopath is not a bad idea at all. Go in with a skeptical mind, but you might be surprised as well. In any case, if you've been suffering for years, what's the harm?

I can try to balance it out for you. I've have bad hay fever for a long time and the last couple years it got substantially worse. Doctor referred me to an Allergist, he did some tests, prescribed allergen immunotherapy and this summer has been so, so much better. I use to take Claritin, Reactin, and the like daily and it was moderately effective for a couple hours. I have taken only a couple doses of that over this whole summer.
