Hey that's cool news and I hope it opens new doors for you. I don't know if these literate guys you mentioned are strictly med-based or integrative-based. Hopefully integrative because what we are looking for are the multi-angle approaches for silent inflammation, unseen pathogens, and unknown toxins, all of which require specific supplements and herbs in addition to whatever meds. The med-based guys seem to do just antibiotics and not much else. Need someone with lots of training and expertise on the other topics. Since the guys are so backed up, and he mentions how complex the cases are, that is consistent with what I have seen. The first literate doc I saw was a 3 month wait for new patients, and the second one was a 6 month waiting list. Currently seeing a new one who just went into private practice after leaving the general hospital practice and hers is only 6 week wait.
Most of these literate docs do longer visits than other docs - usually an hour each time for me - because there are complex things to be talked about and managed.
A cool thing is that after your first visit you can share how it went and we can talk about it. Any questions on meds or supplements, I probably can help with those. And would be happy to.
My first literate doc was a 3 hour drive one-way. It was an all day thing for that round trip. The second one was 1 1/2 hours away. They are getting more numerous now. My new one is only a 20 minute drive.
Anyway, thumbs up!
> I agree with you bleauberry. I have contacted two "literate" doctors. One of them can see me in January and one in the 3rd quarter of 2019. He said that he cant treat lots of people with these complex issues. If he did, he wouldnt succeed. Fair enough.
