They won't tell you on the phone either what they do for mercury. They

Very expensive.....

Gikas, but I don't know if she is posting a lot just now. You

might try and drop her a line and ask. SHe was all gung ho on them, but

ended up being somewhat disappointed in the end. I think her bottom

line feeling was that they are good for somebody who doesn't know

anything about balancing hormones or toxicity, but for folks who are

already invovled in these forums and working with mercury toxicity, she

seemed to feel they had not much more to offer. Well, I shouldn't speak

for her..ask about her experience and why she quit going.

I am not certain if she made subsequent postings after her initial

" Rah-rahs " about them.....I think you would be better off getting the

newer information from her.....moight save you thoiusands of dollars.

Apparently, she thought they were going to be her God send, and then

later on refused to even go back to them....I don't want to say exactly

why, because I might get some of the details wrong. Best get it from

her....

Thanks Inga, I emailed her personally. I would be very upset if I would waste

thousands of dollars that I don't have, and not be happy with the outcome.

Thank god for these groups!-------Jackie T.

I realized that I don't think that I reported back to you guys on this.

did say that they were very expensive and if you have learned alot on these

boards already about thyroid/adrenal, etc., that they probably wouldn't teach

you much new. It would probably be much cheaper to find someone else locally to

help with these issues. What she did go on about is to get your growth hormone

tested, IGF-1. She said hers was quite low, and this was the only really new

thing that they found. She was told to take Colostrum to raise this. I know

they give injections for some things, and now I can't remember if she got any of

those or not. She said the injections are very expensive also. And part of how

they make their money is requiring follow up visits, even if they are on the

phone, to continue to get your prescriptions from them. She felt they were too

much about the money, just her impression. So not that they didn't know what

they were doing, she just feels they are very expensive and you could probably

get help elsewhere much cheaper.

Back to the Colostrum. I found that part very interesting, because I started

taking Colostrum back in January, to boost my immune system. I felt an

improvement right away after I started taking it. So maybe I'm low in growth

hormone too, and helped it without even knowing it!
