Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi all, My name is Alice MacKenzie and I just joined this this morning. I am very interested in raw foods and the vegan lifestyle and have attended a few of the Raw Washington events. Over the weekend I injured my left knee and now I am in need of a good sports doctor. I am seeking to heal my knee with as little invasive surgery, drugs and other allopathic medicines as possible. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated!! Alice PS. I live in Edmonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Alice, I don't know a holistic medicine-friendly sports Dr. for you, but suggest you start with a naturopathic or other holistic physician. As specialists usually need to be referred to, starting with a holistic approach may be the way to go. Do you already have a holistic primary care physician? You could also check with some naturopathic offices to see if they know of a good holistic sports physician. Even if you have to see a traditional physician first, perhaps he/she would then refer you. If there are none in your area, you could try contacting Seattle Healing Arts. They may know of a sports specialist in the Seattle area or your area. As a holistic sports allopath would be rather specialized, it may be worth the trip.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I would recommend Dr. Garett Tomsin, DC, he is excellent with sports as well as many other injuries, and is totally holistic in his approach. He is located in Everett, WA. at Mind Body Healing Center. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I see Dr. Annie Armstrong, DC and Active Relief Therapist (ART). She's the BEST and she helps all kinds of athletes get through injuries. Her website is www.head2toeclinic.com You should definitely investigate ART. I've limped in to see her and left to run 5 miles. It's great! BTW, she's in Edmonds... melissa On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 6:55 PM, Vanessa Stewart < elementalvision wrote: > I would recommend Dr. Garett Tomsin, DC, he is excellent > with sports as well as many other injuries, and is totally holistic > in his approach. > He is located in Everett, WA. at Mind Body Healing Center. > Hope this helps! > > > On Sep 22, 2008, at 10:50 AM, Alice MacKenzie wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > My name is Alice MacKenzie and I just joined this this > > morning.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Finding raw food-friendly and/or vegan-friendly physicians and other forms of health practitioners is a serious concern for many in the raw food community and is deserving of support on this list. Some physicians may actually suggest to patients that such a diet is dangerous, etc. It is important, IMO, for physicians to be understanding and open minded to diets which may be more healthful and more beneficial to healing. So, while this list is about supporting raw food discussions and supporting the raw food lifestyle, it is also important to help our members find practitioners in the community who will also be supportive, even if they are not living the lifestyle. If you choose to stay on this list, consider being patient with the group. There are a lot of different personalities with different opinions. While I try to keep discussions on topic (and some off-topic ones do get on the list), some like this are certainly acceptable. Jeff PS: Members of this list are also supposed to trim their posts, but that doesn't always happen!
