Re: OT -- looking for a decent doctor

August 2, 2004

Hi --

I know of three, two of them I've used.

Karl , MD is a practicing homeopath. 713-621-3184 He's VERY good, but

you'll have to file your own insurance claims.

Pharo, DO. She's great and gave me medical vaccine exemptions for the

kids. 713-802-1177.

I can't find the other name and number. You might search the archives, because

I had posted her name and office number back in March I think.

PS Glad Andy is working out for you. She's really great. I'm surprised that

she's using Bioset as opposed to NAET. She's commented to me before that the

Bioset doesn't seem to hold as well. You may want to ask her about it.

OT -- looking for a decent doctor

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a medical doctor and/or

pediatrician in the Houston area that is similar to a DO (MD plus training

in alternative medicine).

I am losing my confidence and trust in the medical community very quickly.

I have been noticing recently how quick they are to prescribe medication the

minute you open your mouth, and i am tired of their arrogance and

narrow-mindedness.

You can email me at ginam@...

Definition of D.O. - Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine:

Osteopathic medicine is a distinctive form of medical practice in the

United States. Osteopathic medicine provides all of the benefits of

modern medicine including prescription drugs, surgery, and the use of

technology to diagnose disease and evaluate injury. It also offers

the added benefit of hands-on diagnosis and treatment through a

system of therapy known as osteopathic manipulative medicine.

Osteopathic Medicine emphasizes helping each person achieve a high

level of wellness by focusing on health education, injury prevention

and disease prevention. Osteopathic medicine was founded in the late

1800s in Kirksville, Missouri by Still, M.D., who felt

that the medical practices of the day often caused more harm than

good. After losing members of his immediate family to meningitis,

Still focused on developing a system of medical care that would

promote the body's innate ability to heal itself. He called his

system of medicine osteopathy, now known as osteopathic medicine.

Osteopathic physicians, also known as D.O.s, work in partnership with

their patients. They consider the impact that lifestyle and community

have on the health of each individual, and they work to erase

barriers to good health. D.O.s are licensed to practice the full

scope of medicine in all 50 states.

Wasn't Dr. Kern a D.O.? you might try searching the archives

for her name.

I have heard of Dr. kern, but also heard of some bad pretty experiences with

her office/staff. Does anyone know if the situation has changed? Is she

following with DAN protocols?

I live within 4 miles from her office but never been.

Thanks,
