Re: Why are DAN dr's so darn expensive!!!!

[Guest guest]

Dr. Usman in Chicago (Warrenville area) is not unreasonable at all. She

gives you a lot of undivided time and she is hugely knowledgeable.

For $600 you could fly to Chicago for a day and see her and still have ample

change.

I know I know. I sold out my life insurance policy for my boys to go and

then maxed out my credit cards. I think all docs are expensive but they seem

worse because they don't get paid from insurance companies. Although keep in

mind, some claims will account for something with a lot of insurance

companies, even as deductibles for out of network docs, etc...Small

reimbursements, etc (although mine stinks for this)

Anyway, it can't hurt to send in a claim form if u have insurance..

I also think the DAN! doc is the only ones that agree with any of the

mercury issues, etc. The whole biochemical approach is something

someday I hope mainstream docs will stop snubbing their noses to...

If they only knew what they were talking about they might be worth it. Our DAN!

dr admitted in the first and last session we had that we knew more than she did.

I gave her lots of points for honesty, but we never went back. Probably a good

thing, or I would have never searched for and found this list and may have

followed her advice if she could " act " like she knew more about what she was

talking about.

Why are Dan dr's so darn expensive???? I have called 3 different doctors in

CT and was told the consultation was $1100, then follow-ups every 6-8 weeks run

from $440-$660. I can't afford this. I think I need to go back to school and

become a DAN dr. This sounds like a real money maker.

It's ridiculous. You really can do it yourself, plenty of us here do.

I am so lucky. My DAN! doctor is our family doctor and

I just have to pay my normal co-pay.

> How can you do it yourself without a prescription? I know the ALA

you can get over the counter but since it crosses the blood-brain

barrier, I think we should get of the mercury in the other areas

first, then cross the brain. Am I correct? Is that what others are

doing?

You can get DMSA from www.vrp.com without a script. If you do Andy's

protocol (low dose/frequent, 3-4 hrs) you don't have to do labs,

according to a DAN I've worked with.

Of course it would be great to have a doctor you could trust, what I'm

saying is that these treatments are being figured out as we go along

and from what I see most doctors are behind the curve.

Read the files here at a-m, and the Andy Index, for more info about

chelation, the dosing schedule, which supps to use, etc. And ask

questions here whenever you have them .

They aren't taught how to do it right, and it takes a lot of time and

testing to muddle through when they don't konw what they are doing.

Also, doctors do charge a lot, it is just in other situations

insurance covers it so people don't really understand how expensive it is.

Yes, there need to be a lot more autistic kid detox doc's out there,

that would drive he price down.

OMG...I have never heard of prices that high! I would maybe seek out

a out of state DAN! that takes patients without seeing them (video

accepted w/lab tests). I know mine does in Cleveland Ohio....Dr.
