Resources for Alternative Doctors

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Some Associations of Holistic Medical Doctors may be likely to have members

who are familiar with alternatives. You might want to call then first to see if

they treat epilppsy.

The following are good sources.

Foundation fot Advancement of Innovative Medicine (FAIM) www.faim.org is very

big in New York especially downstate in NYC and suburbs.Nationally the

American College for advancemrnt in Medicine (ACAM) www.acam.org tel.

800-532-3688

American Academy of Environmental Medicine www.aaem.com tel. 316-684-5500

International College of Integrative Medicine (ICIM) www.icimed.com?

tel.866-464-5226.

American Association of Naturopathic Physicians www.naturopathic.org

tel.877-969-2267

You mentioned using a Naturpatic Doctor (ND)

I heard a very interesting one at the NYU alternative Epilepsy Conference

last year.

Dr.Nora Pope,ND

The Email address for Dr.Nora Jane Pope,ND is drnora@...

Dr.Pope presented a very promising talk on her use of Naturopathic Medicine

to treat

many of the triggers for seizures, coping with AED side effects and finding

the root causes of the imbalances leading to seizures. I included a review of

her lecture handouts in my Report of the conference. Dr.Pope specializes in

treating epilepsy and has gained a lot of insights into its problems and

treatments. She is located in Toronto, Canada but it may be worth a trip there

to see

her. Unfortunately I did not actually hear her talk, because I was in another

session with Dr.Leo Galland,MD on nitrition and B vitamins--my specialty of

sorts.

Arnold,

Thank you so much for your post (12037) on resources for alternative doctors

answering

my question in search for such. Thank you for something to go forward with. I'm

very

grateful for any help in this direction. This quest for help and support to find

a cause,

work with nourishment, find what will work with a particular body mind and

spirit when to

use supplements and which ones are the best to use, etc. can be such a puzzle.

I get filled

with questions and get so confused at where to turn for help I can trust. Thank

you again

for your help.

Hi Arnold,

Thanks for taking the time to send those resources to me. The problem is

that most alternative doctors will not take insurance.

In the city I saw Dr. Feldman who had a heart of gold and did accept

insurance. I have since moved and cannot make the trip into the city to see

him. I need someone local.

what you circumstance..... and/or persuade your insurance carrier that it is

in THEIR best interest to pay for your health care choices, regardless.
