1. Try to find credible resources such as Medical School or Physician's professional publications so that your health care provider will not dismiss your information as "quackery" or as someone's money-making scam.

2. Look for studies and statistics involving large numbers of subjects who have tested medications--prescription or alternative drugs--over long periods, and the published outcomes of the trials.

3. Reassure your doctor that you are not challenging his/her expertise; only that you wish to become a partner in your own health care.

4. Ask how your doctor feels about alternative or complementary medicine; if he/she would consider their use in lieu of prescription medicine if your research suggests equal effectiveness with potentially fewer side effects.

5. State that your need to know is even more important than your right to know, and that knowledge can reduce stress, fear and anxiety.
