Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Pieter DeWet, M.D. is in Tyler, Texas and took care of my for years. Recommend him highly. 903-939-2069 He is a GP who moved over to alternative medicine. I would NOT recommend a rheumatologist. Joyce who may be on here also sees a doctor in Dallas area. I don't know about recommending him. Also know there is one in Ft. Worth. Just cannot think of his name at this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Jeff, I live in the Dallas Area and have a wonderful Dr. He is very knowledgeable with the PM, Lupus & arthritis. He has me and another person that I know of With pm and reads up on everything about it and keeps informed about all the new drugs. If it was not for him I really believe I would not be alive. I was in a wheel chair with someone having to bath me and do everything for me and on oxygen. He keeps trying till he finds what works for you. He trained at Hopkins and came here about 3 years ago. His name is Dr. Bobby Meader and he is in Garland off Shilo road across from Baylor hospital. I live in Cedar Hill so I do go a ways to see him but would not change. 972-494-6235 Is his office number. Tell him I recommended him to you. Let Me know my email is smith8055@.... Good luck. Sandi rheumatic RE: Need a Dr. in the Dallas area , I DO NOT recommend that your friend use a typical rheumatologist, based on the bad experience that I have had. More info below.... But, I know of two ways that someone can find a holistic doctor that practices antibiotic protocol (AP), using two websites: 1) American College for the Advancement in Medicine www.acam.org There is a referral section. From the home page, go to " Public " / " Find a Doctor " . Enter your zip code, city, or state. 2) International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists (IACP) www.iacprx.org There is a referral section. From the home page, go to " Referral Service " . Find the compounding pharmacist nearest you, and ask them who they'd recommend for the condition that you have, or the protocol that you want to use. __________________________________________________________ My name is Jeff and I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) too. I don't know of anyone that I am related to, by blood, that also has RA. I contracted scabies in January of 2004. I was prescribed in March, 2004, two drugs which I believe caused my RA: 1) On 3/19/04, ne lotion (USP 1%), generic for Kwell, Bio-Well * This is a pesticide of the organochlorine type, in the same group as DDT * This is classified as a carcinogen 2)On 3/24/04, Permethrin Cream, 5%, generic for Acticin, Elimite, Nix, Rid * Each gram contains 50mg of permethrin * Less than 2% absorbed into bloodstream On 4/21/04, I was diagnosed with RA by a rheumatologist. But, he later confessed that he could not do anything for me until my RA got really bad at which point he would " hit me really hard " with some cancer-fighting drugs. I stopped going to him and soon after made an appointment with a holistic doctor, Dr. Nusbaum, from the Center for Holistic Medicine in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Dr. Nusbaum is an associate of Dr. Brownstein. See www.drbrownstein.com and www.centerforholisticmedicine.com Dr. Nusbaum confirmed by tests that I had RA and was infected with mycoplasma. He then prescribed for me: For inflammation: 1) Traumeel, 10 drops three times a day 2) Vitalzym X, 500mg tablets, now 8 tablets three times a day 3) Kaprex by Metagenics, 440mg - four a day 3) Ultra Inflam X (detoxification for a short period) For mycoplasma infection: 1) Minocin (AP- antibiotic protocol)100mg twice a day on M,W,F 2) Bifa 15 (to restore my good bacteria)1.1g a day For hormonal balance: 1) Testosterone cream, and monthly shots 2) Pregnenolone, now 50mg twice a day 3) Armour Thyroid Hormone, now 75mg a day For vitamin D deficiency: 1) Bio-D-Mulsion Forte, Emulsified Vitamin D, 4000 IU per day, which is 1000% RDA __________________________________________________ I did a search through the past year of postings in this Group and I have not found anyone talking about Although it is not cheap, I noticed an immediate improvement in my inflammation after taking Vitalzym X from World Nutrition www.worldnutrition.info/index.html or www.vitalzymx.com . Since I am not a physician, I am not going to pretend to tell you how enzymes can naturally consume inflammation and pass it out of your body naturally. But, I highly recommend that anyone fighting an inflammatory condition like RA look very closely at this natural method. It can be purchased at www.centerforholisticmedicine.com . Vitalzym is the older, weaker version and Vitalzym X is the stronger version. To purchase Vitalzym X, you must create a user id and password. As with any medication, you should be under supervision of a doctor. I was prescribed 3-500mg pills, three times a day. I was told to increase to 4 pills, three times a day after two weeks. And, I should keep increasing by one pill (three times a day) until the inflammation subsided. Some patients were taking as many as 10 pills, three times a day. Too many pills, and you could have diarrhea, too few and your inflammation would not go away. As your friend is likely aware, food allergies can contribute to inflammation if you have an inflammatory-type condition like RA. Both traditional and holistic doctors can perform a blood test for food allergies. One test that I recently took tested for 9 types of Dairy, 7 types of Meat, 10 types of Grains, 9 types of Fish, 6 types of Nuts, 5 types of Shellfish, 19 types of Fruits, 23 types of Vegetables, and 7 types of Miscellaneous Items. My blood test was done at Meridian Valley Lab in Renton, WA. And, while they are willing to test blood sent to them by mail, I am told by Meridian, that some states won't allow individuals to purchase a test without a doctor's prescription. If your doctor doesn't know how to do a blood test for food allergies,you could contact Meridian: www.meridianvalleylab.com info@... (425)271-8689. Meridian told me that they're working on a blood spot allergy test which will allow someone to take the test in their own home.
