One thing I don't want to let pass is:

"The doctor explained how she would like to get to the root of the problem instead of prescribing
remedies to treat in a symptomatic way, which I know that is what homeopathy is."

This is an allopath's misrepresentation of homoeopathy and what it achieves. If you have a copy of Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine (the seminial text for homoeopaths) please see paragraph 70, notably section 1 which I quote here:

"Everything that the physician can find that is really diseased and that is to be cured in diseases consists only in the state and the ailments of the patient and the alterations of his condition that are perceptible to the senses. In a a word, they consist only in the totality of those symptoms by which the disease demands the suitable medicine for its aid. On the other hand, every inner cause falsely attributed to the disease, every hidden quality or fancied material disease matter is nothing but and idle dream."

This might at first sight appear radical (which it is) and even superficial (which it is not). It is the only logical way to address disease and if correctly applied, brings about a thorough cure where that is possible.
