Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 We are seeing Dr. Volpe to help with biological intervention for our son. I would like to know if any of the parents have any experience with him. He seems very nice and knowledgeable. but we are still a little hesitant since we have not had any experience with non-traditional doctor before. He is listed as a DAN doctor but he is a chiropractor. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 Just remember, chiropractors have intensive training in nutrition and supplements. MD's have no training in nutrition or supplements! Some of the best medical intervention does not require prescription drugs. You may have better luck. My pediatrition, an MD, actually referred me to a chiropractor because he admitted he didn't know enough about nutrition etc. to help with my daughter. Chiropractic cranial sacral works REALLY well with our kids. I would not be leery as long as you are with a reputable practitioner...just like anything else. If you are still leery, seek a D.O. They are hard to find these days. If you don't know, a D.O. is a regular Dr who can prescribe drugs and can be a surgeon or any other specialty+they also know supplements, nutrition and chiropractic techniques.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 I totally frown on chiropractic manipulations. I have seen many injuries and incorrect diagnosis coming from this in my years as an orthoopedic nurse.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Too bad. My MD believes in them and they've really helped my family. So does the majority of the medical community. MD's are not immune from misdiagnosis, injuries and even wrongful death. No one on this group seems leery of MD's. Re: Dr. Arturo Volpe I totally frown on chiropractic manipulations.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Hi, everyone: I haven't had a chance to introduce myself but wanted to respond to the request for information on Dr Volpe. We are taking our son, Max, (age 3--no dx *yet*, only speech/language delay with slight delays in other areas) to Dr. Volpe for biomed intervention. I am a big fan of Dr. Volpe's and am happy to share our positive experiences with you. For one thing, I had a terribly difficult time trying to figure out where to take Max when I was interested in this type of intervention. Like most people, I have no previous experience with chiropractors and have always relied solely upon MDs for healthcare. My thinking has completely turned around now. We haven't done any chiropractic work with Max (cranial, etc) and Dr Volpe has not suggested it, but I am interested in that further down the road. Anyway, I have found that Dr Volpe is terribly committed to our son and his health. He is conservative in many ways: with our money (not wanting to do too many tests, etc), with the progression of treatment (not wanting to overwhelm Max with too many things at once), etc. But, at the same time, he can be aggressive in his approach. He tries to stay away from pharmacutical treatment (Nystatin, for example) and gives sound explanations for doing so, however, he will go that route if need be. By far the best thing about Dr Volpe is his availability to me. Even though I tend to go in about every 3 weeks for followup visits, he and I correspond via email at least 1-2 times per week. This is essential as there are too many little/big questions that come up between appointments. When we began, he said that he is my partner in this treatment and I think that describes it exactly. He has said that treating children like Max is his passion and I truly believe that. Ok, enough cheerleading. Nice to meet y'all and hope this was helpful A.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 I was curious too. Found his site on the web. Looks like he's in Houston. http://www.iser.com/volpe-TX.html Re: Dr. Arturo Volpe >Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 10:08:04 -0400 > >Hi, everyone: > >I haven't had a chance to introduce myself but wanted to respond to the >request for information on Dr Volpe. > >We are taking our son, Max, (age 3--no dx *yet*, only speech/language delay >with slight delays in other areas) to Dr. Volpe for biomed intervention.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Yes, Dr. Volpe is in Houston and he's in Rice Village. We are doing diet/nutritional/supplement intervention, treating for yeast and bacteria (of which Max had an extreme overgrowth) and we will be following that up with chelation (we have done one round already and Max excreted extremely high amounts of mercury) and MT promotion.
