Dr Rind/Endrocine/warning!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Inga,

I pop into that sight from time to time but right now I just don't

have the energy to absorb all the complexity of info about the

endocrine system. I know it's a problem of mine but I am so

researched out..

Regarding Dr. Rind..he charges alot $300+ for first visit + $150+

for subsequent visits. Yes, he told me I have a severe adrenal

problem and probably an excess of estrogen. He sent me a script for a

thyroid test and then laughed at the results because he said they

tested the wrong thing. Well he could have been more clear about

what he was looking for...would have saved me time and money.

Here's the thing that bugs me about him..he KNEW I was being treated

for mercury toxicity yet his treatment plan did not incorporate this

huge factor at all. Plus and this is very dangerous he has developed

this supplement he calls Basic Cell Energy and guess what it

contains? 60 mg of Lipoic Acid!!!! He told me this would *really*

help me!!! Advised me to take it 3 times a day!!! That would be 180

mg of ALA to a mercury toxic person. I took one or two of them and

had a negative reaction so I didn't take it any more. He told me

start at a lower dosage and build up. I didn't.

He is a nice man but dangerous if he's randomly prescribing large

doses of ALA to patients.

Regarding the crumbs, any doctor worth his weight would incorporate

the whole body in a treatment plan. For example, digestive issues

need to be addressed, the metals need to be addressed and how all

this effects the hormones and endocrine system. Just concentrating

on the endo system w/o regard to what's *causing* them to be out of

whack is very allopathic in my opinion. Also, blindly throwing a ton

of supplements at a person (which he did) w/o considering that there

is most likely a malabsorbtion issue is incompetent. He did give me

a printout of how to treat the adrenals (i could have gotten it off

the web for free.) I don't know, after a couple of months of no

improvement I stopped everything he gave me. Can't really recommned

the guy.
