I just wonder if the ‘common’ man or woman will be able to afford it. My husband and I wanted y go to a local naturopath, but before we could even SEE her for a consult, it was going to cost over $4,000+ out of pocket……and it would be 6 months to 1 year before we could even get on the schedule to do those preliminary tests.

I’m doubtful insurance will EVER be willing to cover the cost of natural/holistic doctors OR the natural treatments they would recommend.

I agree, my naturopath out of pocket. I do bloodwork under my insurance. My GP works with me and her to order some blood tests. I do things slowly, one or 2 things at a time. NO way will insurance cover holistic medicine-that would put them and big harma out of business. Can you find another in your area that may be more reasonable in costs?

There’s only one in our area.

It isn’t blood tests that she wants.

It’s some kind of scan that take 8 hrs.

If it doesn’t yield enough information, you have to do another test, takes 5 hours.

Only then do you get a consult.

Wow, what is the name of the first scan and the name of the second if you have to get that one as well? Would love to do more research on this. Sounds very thorough.

I’ll try to remember your question and call Monday to get the names of the scans.

I failed to write it down, telling myself that I would remember, and now …… I don’t, lol.

I am thinking it may be a whole body thermagram or an MRI...

Search in-network for a doctor licensed as an osteopath. That'll get you much of the way out of allopathy's clutches and into open-minded holistic territory.

I’m going to an osteopath, but he is in a group of Medical Doctors. He almost lost his job during covid, because he was giving ivermectin. He saved a lot of lives. Our dim-Dem Governor decreed that any Dr who wrote a Rx for ivermectin would lose his license….same for pharmacists. He did it anyway, then the Drs themselves told him if he gave one more pt ivermectin, he could no longer work for them. He lost several patients after that.

He has a large family. He is a good man.

But his hands are tied until we get a Conservative Governor.

I see a functional med doc that is covered by insurance.

I live in Houston, it’s a big market. We are definitely spoiled for choice.

Yes, big cities have the advantage of more choice. I am happy you have it and have found a doc that truly cares!!!
