2nd try: Switch from Holmes to Cave?

[Guest guest]

Just wondered if anyone out there is using Dr. Cave now because of Dr.

Holmes leaving. Any big differences in approach or anything? She must be

super busy with all the new patients. Thank you.

(My son used to see Dr. Holmes.)

Hi Meg, just to add that I think that Dr Cave, from our experience is more

definite about what she recommends that Dr Holmes was and follows a more

rigid protocol, ie - 8 hourly chelation versus 4 hourly, and she also does

not believe in mixing chelation protocol with the MT promotor. Amy Holmes

agreed that we could alternate both protocols on seperate weekends with our

son and was quite flexible about agreeing to our wish to keep the doses

DMSA/ALA low, when we switched to Dr Cave, I got a messsage saying that we

needed to stop chelation while we were doing the MT promotor - she felt it

was unsafe to do both together. So there are definate differences in their

approach. I have never tried to negotiate directly with Dr Cave about these

protocols so don't know how flexible she is. (I haven't stop chelating

though - still low dose) I saw her myself when my kids had a/p's with Amy

Holmes and I thought Dr Cave was a wonderful caring doctor - she helped me

put a preventative health care plan together which was nice - first thing

she recommended was removal of my amalgams followed by chelation.

Hope that is helpful,

Kathy

Hi Meg,

My son was also a patient of Dr. Holmes. We have not seen a new Doc

yet. I think Dr. Cave has a long waiting list so we are debating

going to another Doc or making the appointment and going along on

our merry way until we can see her. I am trying to get my son's new

Ped. to do some stuff with us as he is amenable, but he is not real

knowledgeable. I have heard that Dr. Cave is somewhat different in

her approach than Dr. Holmes but don't know any specifics.
