Mita,
Go to www.naturopathic.org to do a search for a Naturopath in your area. You can find one in Ohio, it's just that only 16 states allow for full licensing and you can actually get reimbursed by insurance. So the one in Ohio can be just as good but he/she is more limited in what they can actually do - for example, they might have to send you to someone else (doctor or nurse practitioner) to write a prescription or draw blood.
Here's a blurb:
Sixteen states and four provinces allow the practice of naturopathic medicine: Alaska, Arizona, British Columbia, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Manitoba, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ontario, Oregon, Saskatchewan, Utah, Vermont, and Washington. Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands also have licensing laws for naturopathic doctors. In a number of states and provinces where there is not yet professional licensure, naturopathic medical associations are actively engaged in legislative initiatives to pass licensing laws. The scope of practice varies from state to state and province to province. In states and provinces without naturopathic licensing laws, many who hold the N.D. degree also hold other degrees, such as the Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Chiropractic, or Masters in Oriental Medicine degree, and they practice under licenses for those professions. Others offer services that do not violate their states and provincial medical practice acts. Most naturopathic physicians are in the states and provinces that regulate the profession.
Also, you mentioned that your daughter is drinking aloe juice. If it helps, fine. I found no use for it. And some people get diarrhea from it, so don't overdo it. And if she's not improving, there is no need for it. And she doesn't need to eat an "alkaline diet". She just needs to avoid the trigger foods that I've listed many times in this thread.
I'm glad she's using the DGL but, as I've said many times in this thread, you can't pick and choose which things you like and not use the others. You have to do ALL of them. As you start to improve, you can stop using something and see if it makes any difference. I, for example, after 8 years, decided to give a try to sleeping without wedges. It was OK for a day or two, but after that, I found myself very phlegmy in the mornings and constantly clearing my throat. And then, of course, heartburn. So I went right back on the wedges and I'm fine. I also think that the digestive enzymes are extremely important.
