I just switched in January. We had an initial consultation at $95.00 that lasted little over an hour. Our doctor practices both General Western Medicine as well as Herbal, Accupucture, and other alternative medicine.
We switched because Jewel was diagnosed with GME back in June and was put on prednisone. She was not supposed to survive past July. Since she kept on fighting her illness and still on the preds we really wanted to get her off them because it got to the point where we couldn't tell if the side effects were worse than the illness. Our neurologist want us to start chemo on her and we said absolutely NOT! We found Dr. Gordorn and he has been the biggest blessing ever! We are weaning her off the pred and we can see improvements daily. He saw something in her very first blood work that our other 3 doctors before didn't mention, her thyroid level was low. We now giving her western herb for the thyroid and weaning her off the preds.
In a scale of 1-10 with 10 being Jewel before she was sick, her worst was about a 2. She is now about a 5!
Dr. Gordon also believes most pets are over vaccinated and he recommended a titer for Jazzie. She is skipping her shots this year because she still have pleanty of protection from her previous boosters!
My recommendation is:
Learn about the medicines prescribed to your babies. Most medicines now are steroid based and long term use can definitely do damage to your baby!
Follow your heart. If you are not sure read about it, research it.
We are glad we made the switch. |
