Im fortunate enough to have a working knowledge of both holistic and western systems, so I have an advantage in knowing how to pick and choose the best of both. I dont see just one person, but use a mixture of eastern and western, holistic and allopathic approaches.

Other people might not be so lucky. It really depends on what is wrong with you. For serious conditions, western diagnostic tools can be very useful. However, western allopathic medicine in my opinion has a flawed approach to dealing with chronic illnesses. Once you have you blood tests, MRIs, ect, you might consider rejecting western medication unless its vital and attempt more natural treatment under somebody more skilled.

Naturopathic physicians who are also trained in western medicine could be a good place to start if you dont know how to navigate the system, though they are rare and expensive. Doctors of TCM can also be a good choice. Next in line would be Osteopaths and holistically minded nurse practitioners, perhaps ones that are also trained as traditional naturopaths.

Some traditional healers have amazing healing talents. I dont want to downplay the role of traditional herbalists, but I would just like to point out that it can be difficult to know who is qualified for dealing with your condition without evidence of training.
