TD- DMPS in NY State

[Guest guest]

Abbie - do you, or does anyone else here, know what the NY state law is

that's different from the rest of the country? We also go to Dr. Bock but I

didn't realize it was a legal matter with the state.

Thanks,

We work with Dr. Bock who is legally prohibited from prescribing it by New

York State law. He's happy for us to put Cameron on it, but can't obviously

risk his license. I'd really like to know what the

options are.

I don't know exactly, but in New York we're prohibited from a few different

things that the state presumably has decided are dubious, such as the Great

Plains OAT. Such a pain!

I live in NY state, on long island. Over the years, it has come to my

knowledge that there are a lot of tests, or even part of tests, which are not

done

in NY, but are legal and even covered by insurance in other states. There are

also labs which are not allowed to test on NY patients (Immunolabs in Florida

was one), even though they are allowed to test patients from every other

state. On the CDSA, one lab is not allowed to test for butyrate, part of the

package when dealing with patients outside of NY. My nutritionist told me that

NY

has the most rigid laws governing these things of any state. There are

excellent alternative doctors who are hounded here, and are forced to leave the

state and practice elsewhere. It absolutely infuriates me. I always assumed it

has to do with the stronghold of the AMA in this state, although I could be

wrong. I myself have gone out of state for particular care which I couldn't get

here. a H.

Thanks, a. I grew up on LI and am aware that strings are tighter in NY

state for many things, esp. mercury testing - no fecal and now no hair

testing can be done. Our former pediatrician had to close his practice

because he wasn't vaccinating enough kids and was speaking out against them.

Still, I'm curious as to what it is exactly that's put the cabosh on

TD-DMPS.
