Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Molly, Have you ever had naturopathic lab work done to see why you still have the symptoms you have? I see a great ND that has worked wonders for me. He has very specific lab tests that show imbalances and he works to correct them. I used to have many, many health issues, similar to implanted women that are now completely symptom free. A couple of women here have also treated with him, as he does phone consultations. If you haven’t had these types of testing done, I’d strongly recommend that you do, especially since getting off prescription drugs is your goal. Kenda Wow I have never heard of camu camu. I am slowly reducing the medications I take - because all meds have side effects. I hope to get off plaquenil, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I did, in fact. It was expensive. ;-( My insurance covered none of it, and he charged exorbitant fees. BUT I found that I had high cortisol, and at the time, some kind of additional bacteria.. He gave me flaggyl and it cleared it up. However, I won't go back to that 'naturopath', since he prescribed oxycodone and Xyrem for sleep - both were horrible for me. I would not mind another naturopath... or at least finding out if I can afford it! > Molly, > > Have you ever had naturopathic lab work done to see why you still have the > symptoms you have?

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I’m sorry to hear of your experience with the “naturopath”. I had a miserable experience with my first ND as well. Unfortunately the tests can get expensive if you have enough run — like I do. I’m a test junkie and like to know what is going on with my body. Strange that he prescribed prescription drugs, especially oxycodone! If you don’t mind treating with one out of state, I’ll give you the information for mine so you can get info. Jen here, treats with him as well for her post explant care. Kenda I did, in fact. It was expensive. ;-( My insurance covered none of it, and he charged exorbitant fees.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Kenda Whatever happened with the protandim? Did you say that you were going to call the company and ask about it since it didn't give you the results that you were looking for? Also, what did Dr. Leu have to say about it? I am curious.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hi Kathy, Not surprisingly the company wouldn't return my calls. Dr. Leu wasn't surprised that it didn't help because I am already taking most of the ingredients in other supplements. Since my house was undergoing a lot of work for water/mold damage while I was taking the Protandim, Dr. Leu couldn't be certain that it didn't help, even though my labwork showed no improvement. He recommended I take another supplement that he carries that includes the Protandim ingredients I wasn't already taking. The supplement is also used for memory and I can definitely tell a difference in mine. Kenda >Kenda<BR> >Whatever happened with the protandim?
