Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 My son just started the Geiers study. Did our first round last weekend, started the Lupron 3 days before that. He did great over the chelation weekend but then came down with a nasty virus/ear infection so it will be a while before he's back up to par. You have to do a LOT of bloodwork as a prelim. 10 vials worth for us. but they do everything thru Labcorp, so it's all covered by my insurance. The Lupron and DMSA (oral) are also covered. the Geiers charge 300/hr consult fee, I've only had to talk to them 2x so far. they order all their own labs, I don't see why you'd need a local Dr. in addition, unless you needed someone to do the injections for you. I do them myself. Normally, you do 1 IM injection monthly but I opted for the daily subcutaneous. ( I know that sounds ridiculous but my son is quite familiar with how painful the IMs are and the daily SQs are less traumatic, beleive it or not) you can contact them at mgeier@... or at (301) 989-0548 Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
