You do well educating yourself. As for your doctor(s) what I (will try to) do is open the topic with my doctor. If she is not receptive, that's her choice.

To the extent I'm able, I will try to inform the willing but converting the willfully ignorant isn't within my power. And I won't waste my time. You may be stuck with your current MDs. Even so, perhaps you can still use them, within their limits? Or do you have the option to seek other, possibly more receptive doctors?

A tragic outcome of schooling is that it produces people who fancy themselves as educated when the opposite is true. Schooling is only a part of becoming educated and a relatively small one at that.
Not to spam this thread, but Ben Franklin's "Silence Dogood" editorial sums it up nicely. And it quite entertaining as well, far surpassing anything one'd see on the boob tube!
