Im thinking of visiting a naturopath, anyone had experiences with these? My sister tells me they ask alot of questions about doing poo. Also, many naturaopaths are skilled at iridology (looking at your eyes to determine health probs).

My mum swears by naturopaths, I've been to a couple - and had my eyes looked at. I'm a little sceptical about the alternative health industry, all too often it seems to be tied up with wishy washy new age therapies and insane ideas. That said, if you can find a naturopath with a good head on their shoulders then I think they'd be a good contact to have.
I'd recommend you try at least once, but don't expect miracle cures, homeopathy and related alternative health practises seem to work over long periods of time - great for prevention, but a bit annoying if you want a quick fix.
