insurance gorillas

[Guest guest]

I recieved a letter on Sat informing me that my insurance company is revoking my

coverage of my life saving allergist, saying that his treatments are

controversial and

unproven. This is retroactive to Jan 1, 2005.

I am going to have to find my policy.

It is looking pretty personal, as they have also revoked my coverage for my

psychologist.

My doc has filed an appeal, and is working on some research proving his method

is both

safe and effective, and I hoe it works. But, in reading the wording of the form,

they are

gunning for anyone that is practicing anything outside what they have declared

normal.

This sounds like what the state medical board here in MN has been doing for

years-

gunning for Environmental Doctors by saying their methods are unproven and

experimental. They have taken away respected doctors liscences in the past,

forcing them

into retirement, and completely intimidating the rest. Also some have moved out

of the

state. Now my guy in in Wisc, so I guess they are going after him the old

fashioned way-

by taking away insurance coverage.

I so hate the narrowmindedness that calls itself medicine in MN. Even with life

saving diet

improvements, they are 10 years behind in telling the patients about it. I felt

like I had

stepped into the dark ages when I moved here.

I have not found a doc here in the 20 years I have been here that does not

believe most

symptoms of most people are all in their heads, including asthma and allergy. I

gave up

years ago. I doubt that there are any doctors that are not under the thumb of

the medical

establishment, and could or would risk treating anyone like me. If they got

reported or

found out, they could and might lose their liscence to practice. I have a friend

that is a GP,

and that person does not dare to practice the environmental medicine that keeps

them

functioning personally.

No one has ever tried to test me for Lyme, despite it being endemic here. Or any

other

disease that is caused by ticks etc, that is treatable. I could not even get a

doc to treat me

for parasites when I had every symptom-because the fecal test (which are

notoriously

unreliable) came back negative. They may all be idiots.

And yes, I think the ins company is trying to get paid back for payments they

already

made. But, I do not think they can do that. Maybe I can call the attorney

general.
