Dr. Mike,
I think that you missed a great opportunity to discuss the use of alternative medicine on the pediatric population. I realize that you admitted not being knowledgeable on the subject, few pediatricians are, but I would have appreciated a few words on the difference between homeopathic remedies and herbal therapies, and the unfortunate logical fallacy that natural equates to safe and effective. You really could devote an entire episode to the subject of why parents turn to alternative therapies for their children. I would love to be of assistance should you ever need any information on alternative therapies in the future or would just like to discuss their use.
