Sensitive people be warned. If you want to spend hundreds/ thousands of dollars on supplements that your body can't tolerate and if you want to be gaslit on what is going on with your body after taking the doctors protocol, well then this is the place for you.
From the get go, I told the doctor how sensitive I was and that I suffer with mcas and mold toxicity. That because of previous treatment by body can no longer tolerate supplements with more than one ingredient. What do you know, first appointment they prescribe me about 10 different supplements.
I then get prescribed a very harsh antibiotic for something they found on gi map test that wasn't even causing me any issues. When I told him specifically I get very sick from antibiotics and I can't tolerate the probiotics he gave me; they gave them to me anyway and didn't take into account anything I said. The antibiotics messed up my gut and body so bad, I ended up in the emergency room having to do a CT scan because their office failed to inform me, that the place they called the original scan into didn't do CT scans, only MRIs. After being in the emergency room, it took two weeks to get a response from the doctor (yes it was the holidays, but to me that's unacceptable). Come to find out my stomach problems were actually histamine reactions, yet he claims to understand histamine so well. And I just found out the antibiotic is contraindicated for people who have mass cell and histamine issues hence why I got so sick from taking it. This antibiotic has caused me to become 100% bedridden at the age of 30. I also don't understand how a self professed lyme literate doctor would prescribe antibiotics to a patient with mold toxicity and lyme when all it does is stir up the bacteria which then can lead to a huge herxheimer reaction.
When I told them the side effects of what the antibiotics did to my body, they said that it isn't the antibiotics because those are out of your system and tried prescribing me Prilosec for stomach issues and then tried to refer me to a gastroenterologist. If I wanted to see a western medical practitioner than I would have.
In case people aren't aware,
along with the nurses and doctor at this clinic, antibiotics and PPIs ruin your gut microbiome, along with your immune system and mitochondria. My symptoms of internal vibrations, muscle weakness, and joint pain were never taken into account when I called. Nine months later and I still haven't regained the strength or the energy that I had before taking them. i'm only 30 years old, so it's very concerning on my why body isn't healing.
I was told that they would micro manage me throughout my protocol but that never happened. I was also told by the doctor, my GI map test results would be read to me by a nurse and when I called the nurse said she wasn't trained in reading the results, which led to another $200 appointment.
They start everyone out on anti fungals to treat candida, without even testing you for it. I understand that many chronically ill patients have candida overgrowth, but candida is NOT the root cause, it is a opportunistic infection which is why a lot of people have a hard time clearing it.
He orders the most unreliable lyme test there is which is the ELISA test, so another waste of money. Any lyme literate doctors knows that chronic lyme doesn't hide in the blood which is why testing is notoriously inaccurate.
He also diagnosed me with degenerative disc disease, when I called the office to find out how he diagnosed me since all of the services were via telehealth they had no clue. He could not remember, they did not have any scans saved in my chart which is another joke.
Moral of this review is that I spent thousands of dollars in a four month span to only become much sicker than I already was. read more
