Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Melisa Kuehn, owner/operator/DAN practitioner of Hilton's Heartland in NW Houston works with two MDs who will prescribe antiviral drugs like Valtrex and Famvir. I'm not sure about antifungal drugs though because she might have a different approach to yeast issues. CReece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Dr. Volpe can not prescribe meds. Last I heard, he was working with an M.D. that could, but I would check first. Also, his waiting list is quite long. Dr. Sprague is great, but I don't know if he'll prescribe Valtrex, again, worth a call. Aliza Corinne Vela wrote: TRY DR. ARLETTE PHARO, OR DR. SPRAGUE.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 If you are willing to drive to Plano, you can try Dr. Rao who is an allergist/immunologist () he has over 500 kids with autism in his practice, and knows about the latest treatments etc.. 2 warnings though, there is a long wait in his office for your appointment so be prepared to spend some time there. The other warning is he will do a lot of testing, some of which is not covered by insurance (like great plains lab testing etc..) Also he tries to start too many things at one time. In order to evaluate what is helping and what isn't, I have made it a practice of doing just one treatment at a time (starting supplements one at a time, doing restrictive diet first and cleaning up yeast and viral problems before doing chelation). All that said, he is a very nice man, and he cares about his patients. If you would like to email me privately with questions, my email is: nagla_alvin@...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Thank you for the recommendation. As lost as I feel, I may email you privately. We are new to the whole treatment thing. I know it sounds horrible, but we have not known about so much all this time. When we asked questions, I always felt like it was a secret society that we didn't have the password to. We would get told things like, there is a lot of good information out there but we can't recommend anything. Thanks so much for the recommendation. This is one of the docs that I found listed on one of the sites I was looking at.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I hate to say it, but I have heard many people say that they have been harmed by Dr. Orlov. Plus he has been uner investigation for insurance fraud. I don't post often, but I've heard too many bad stories about this man. Please be careful! Chris > > There is a Dan doctor in Lufkin, Tx. and also has an office in Austin. He has five children of his own and is very pro celating. I believe he does the Buttar protocal. He is a DO/PA his phone number is . I know he talks with Dr. Rao back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
