we don't use a md very often, we use herbals, homeopathics, vitamins or natural remedies for most things instead of traditional meds. i prefer my kids to see a chiro for wellness instead of a ped. (especially since the ped and the er visit didn't dx or help my son when chiropractic care did).

there are other things too, but (homeschooling, using cloth products vs disposable for lots of things, not vaxing etc.) that is the main thing.
