Are you going to treat my specific condition?

The reason why a person develops ill health is that the body loses it's ability to efficiently recover REGARDLESS OF THE NAMED DIAGNOSIS. "I have hypothyroidism" or, "I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis" gives us a starting point, however, there are potentially thousands of reasons people become ill. Our goal here is not to "cure" the diagnosis but rather understand WHY your body cannot recover and aggressively attempt to turn it around.

How long will it take to start feeling better?

This does vary from patient to patient. However, if a program is correct and effective, the body will be regaining its ability to heal itself right from the start. This would result in less stress on the body. If the body is less stressed, there will be symptomatic improvement in nearly every case. We track all symptoms visit by visit, and expect to start seeing significant improvements in many areas from very early in a program. Our experience has been that as the body continues to heal over time, most symptoms do improve or completely resolve.

What happens if I don't get better? 

If you are not progressing as well as I like to see, we may need to investigate further. Advanced testing may be ordered to look for any permanent damage or other things that have developed like infections etc. We may, at this point, refer other doctors in on your case to help pin-point why you are not getting better and adjust your program.

Do I have to come in forever? 

The goal of any of my programs is for the patient’s body to regain its ability to heal itself. Once this has been completed, the body CAN and DOES heal itself, generally with the assistance of the patient (continuing a healthy diet and lifestyle). Our purpose is to give patients back control of their own health.
In many cases, patients benefit from a “Maintenance Program” . This generally consists of supplements specifically targeted to assist the body to maintain any areas of weakness or permanent damage. Instead of taking a “one a day” type vitamin to maintain health, these patients take the specific support supplements their bodies test for to make it easier for them to maintain health. Most maintenance patients have their supplements and dosage corrected so that they are always on the exact, most effective program.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications? 

No. In many cases, patients are on life-sustaining medications. Patients come off of drugs all the time on my programs, but they are taken off these drugs by their medical doctors, not by us. As the body heals and gets to where drugs are no longer needed, their prescribing doctor will stop them. 

What are the costs involved? Will my insurance cover me? 

Every person is on a different program, as no one has the same combination of symptoms or reasons for their problems. Therefore, it’s not possible to give a set cost of a program. Patients who do an evaluation with me are given the estimated details of a proposed program BEFORE they ever begin any treatment. Patients know the likely benefits obtainable, length of the program, type of visits, any lifestyle changes needed and the cost before deciding to start. This prevents patients from leaving programs incomplete by starting something they can’t finish.
