I’ve got Blue Cross coverage, and I can’t tell from their directory of doctors who would be more likely to have an alternative medicine leaning (in other words, if there’s a problem, the first answer isn’t just a pharmeseutical one, but might involve nutrition/natural remedies.)

Any thoughts of how to find a doctor like this? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me which professions of alternative medicine are regulated?

I need to find some info on which professions are regulated, state-by-state, as well as which of them are mandated and covered by insurance companies. Can anyone give me a website or some info. I tried National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) but they had no direct info.

What field should I go into, if I want to study Energy Medicine (alternative medicine)?

I really wanna study “energy medicine” or “biofield science” which is a subdivision of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. I want to be both a researcher and a practitioner. But I have no idea which direction to take. Please help me by giving recommendations and advices! I’m currently in an undergraduate college that doesn’t have this degree. So should I major in Biology, Biomedicine,Psychology, Neuroscience, Premed, or Physical Therapy? Or do you know any good schools that offer this degree? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
