Looking for a faith healer, eh? Well, I'll pray for you (not). 
It's damn hard to have it both ways - you want an experieced, competent mycologist who
has what you'd call an "open mind" (which I strongly suspect means someone who will offer
up some offbeat, modernized snakeoil). I'm afraid you might have to make a decision -
stick with reg'lar doctors (who certainly can be idiots, but can occaisionaly be quite
clever), or just start drinking the Kambuschka tea. The mix-n-match therapy can do more
harm than good.

Sorry if I seem to be taking your suffering lightly - I really am not. Here's my advice
(obviously, I'm not what you call the "open-minded" type):
*bug the hell out of your doctor, see other doctors, bug the hell out of them* 
That *may* do you some good. Ask _lots_ of questions, and when you remember the questions
you forgot to ask, call the doctor back, and ask them over the 'phone.

I hope things work out for you.
