Guest guest Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 these chiros creating hope that they can `cure' a person and then want $8000 to $10,000 up front for treatment is not only unethical … it should be against the law. It appears that dr. k is setting up seminars showing how to scam us out of our money. the guy I went to in tampa looked like he just got out of med school and rented the most expensive office he could find to set up `shop'. I went to Dr. Willmitch in tampa a couple of years ago. I had just read dr. k's book and was so filled with hope that this doctor was going to be `it'. the first visit was an hour long and … looking back was really just a sales pitch. He told me how the treatment was going to cure me and I would have my life back. I left feeling so hopeful … he had my ten page questionnaire that I had filled out and he was going to set up a treatment plan just for me … once he studied it. The second visit was not so good. I asked about prescriptions … he said I would have to find my own m.d. for that. I asked about treatment … he said first thing would be an elimination diet. I asked about being forced to take supps that made me feel sicker … he said he wouldn't push anything on me. He said it would take about a year before I really had any improvement, but don't worry if I wasn't satisfied he would give me a prorated refund any time during the following year. Then he left and a girl came in with a handful of loan apps. I had been diagnosis shopping for ten years and had charged so many doctor visits, and their tests, on our charge cards that we had to file bankruptcy. I told her and she said … let's just try one. Of course … we were denied. They told me when I got the money to come back. lol I cried the entire hour drive back home. sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Sharon, Thanks for sharing your experience. It makes me really question the wisdom of our for profit medical system. The DC's in my area are not so sleazy. There was one adverizing help with thyroids but he took it down when Shomons article came on line. I live in MA were the Attorney General will go after such types. Sometimes they are too agressive and drive ND's and holistic docs out of state. It has its pros and cons. FL has a reputation for preying on seniors and the sick more than many other states. There is more medicare fraud by doctors and medical product companies in FL than anywhere else. IF it sounds too good to be true it likely is. IF Dr. K's protocol was so good would it be taking off like hot cakes by now.????? He seems to be on to some other ailment and is not talking too much about thyroids these days. > > > > these chiros creating hope that they can `cure' a person and then want $8000 to $10,000 up front for treatment is not only unethical … it should be against the law.
