When Dr. Ramakrishnan sees a new patient who has not started allopathic meds, he requests that they do not use any allopathic meds. When he sees someone who has been put on allopathic meds by someone else, he acepts them and tries to get them off their allopathic meds as quickly as he can. Steroids in particular can not be stopped 'cold turkey' without serious rebound effects. Weaning them off the meds is not an endorsement of them. I also know patients who are in his care.
