Need ideas: How do I find a raw naturopath in my area?

[sherahtaylor]

I've been scouring the web for the past half hour and am not having any luck! I live in my state's capitol so you'd think there would be something, although there is a much bigger city 40 miles from me - but I don't want to have to drive that far. I really want a naturopathic physician who understands raw - I love my current one, but he pretty much doesn't know about raw at all and is steering me towards meat, cooked, etc for health.

I've tried these searches:

Naturopath raw
Naturopath living food

Not coming up with much. Any ideas? How did you find yours?

It might not be a bad idea to just call all the naturopaths in your area, and ask who is into what.

I emailed Dr Fred Bloem the new member and he sent me a list for my area for his type of practice. Some of them are raw and some are not....but they are much nicer than SAD allopaths, very helpful and I am meeting other raw medical professionals through these people and one of them even knew a physician on my health plan who also does accupuncture and he didn't kick me out of the office when he heard raw - he and his staff seem to have heard of it and are open minded. I need the physician to satisfy my employers requirements and he is allowing me the freedom to seek alternative help while helping me to find a diagnosis as in my travels I see that almost all alternate healing wants a diagnosis as well. I would send you the link but your email is closed and I don't know how to work the computer well enough to find the thing to type here.

The link I sent you was from www.nmt.md >> Patients Entrance >> Practitioner Search.

Of course, you can also Google for naturopathic, holistic medical associations, etc.
