The 1980s had plenty of TV doctors Americans loved to watch, from St. Elsewhere to Doogie Howser, MD. But even as they tuned in every week to see medical mysteries solved in 30 to 60 minutes, more and more Americans were turning toward alternative medicine to find solutions for what ails them. The favorite alternative health experts of Weekly readers for the last five years are found at The Healing Collaborative in downtown Pacific Grove. Eight practitioners offer chiropractic services, massage therapy, acupuncture, facials, pilates, counseling and more to get patients on a path to wellness, with no commercial breaks.
