Most of the time you can cause damage to your body by not listening to your doctor because you are delaying treatment. I know a lot of people who takes herbs and other natural remedies and you have to realize that you are not a doctor. You are in fact, practicing without a license in my opinion.
If you have sufficient medical insurance, you should be seen regularly by a doctor and follow his advice and if you do not trust it, get a second opinion.
What people don't realize is, God, blessed that doctors hands to do the work that he is ordered to do. He is a healer and seeing a doctor is mentioned in the Bible and God picked that doctor from birth to go to school and learn everything in order to practice medicine. There are only special people who can be a doctor, not everyone can do this sort of work. He or she is well paid because they spend many years in school and also have a lot of school loans to pay back.
Don't let any archaic and ignorant religious dogma cause you to make choices that are not mentally sound because it can be a choice between life or death.
