Re: Has anyone seen Dr. Mark Starr

[Guest guest]

Thanks Tasia. That's the kind of thing that we need to share on these

groups b/c I don't want to see him based on that description. His

book was OK and good to have, but I didn't like what I saw on his

website and your report matches. I'm seeing a Top Doc in Cummings, GA

in January - Milton - and I'm hoping for better than I have

had so far, but afraid that it will be the same. None of them seem to

know a thing about how to treat adrenals with HC. Is there a list of

's Docs somewhere - he doesn't even use HC, at least he seems to

prefer supplements, vits and extracts from what I read in his book.

, Call ahead, find out if that dr. uses HC to treat adrenals. My

doc doesn't usually prescribe HC, but I insisted on it and presented

my list of symptoms and told him I could not continue 'this way'. I

lucked out and got a guy who doesn't have ego problems and he listens.

I think his 's training (he's an ND) allowed him to have an

open mind with SYMPTOMS. I have not taken one blood test in the last

3 months--its all temp graphs and symptoms.

here's the listing of wilson docs. Call ahead, tell them you do not

want the time-released T3. Val was right about the TR-T3-its weak!

CyTomel is a bit better, but I just started CyNomel yesterday and WOW

big difference. http://www.wilsonsthyroidsyndrome.com/DoctorsListing/

Now that I am ordering my CyNomel from Mexico, and considering

switching to the cream HC for cost and possible absorbsion issues, I

really do not see a need to spend so much money on these dr.

appointments. I plan on using him to help me with my sex hormones a

few months from now, maybe an IV here and there.

Dr. Starr shared that he is considering moving to AZ and becoming

licensed as an ND. He also wants to get a huge magnetic rock near his

office for treatment purposes. I realize now that he did not recommend

saliva testing for hormones--he was satisfied with my blood work-that

is probably why so many of those menopausal women were chunky in the

middle. The thing that kills me is how knowledgeable he is, but

something happened along the way. I don't know if a divorce distracted

him...
