Sometimes surgery may be a better option than medicines and sometimes its vice versa. You need to be open to that because there are different types of treatment, not necessarily pills. Exactly. I think having the access and having involved practitioner who can offer either, then you know you will be choosing a Personalized Program and understanding your disease plays into that.
