Tired of being handed small orange bottles?

We share real-person accounts of alternative health therapies.

Avoiding Rx is a collection of our experiences and self-experiments with non-prescription health solutions. We’ve tried dozens of modalities, from nutritional therapy to energy healing.

We and our guest authors talk about:

• Navigating the US health couldn’t-care-less system
• Chronic, undiagnosed illness
• Nutritional therapy
• Other treatments and therapies
• Specific health issues
• Even some far-out stuff

We love comments!

Some of us have found more useful information from our readers and contributors than we ever did schlepping our sorry asses from one university health system to another.

We learn from each other.

Caveat! We are not doctors.

With the exception of one massotherapist, none of our contributors has any medical training or certification whatsoever. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
