Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 , Yes, I have heard of Bioset. We see Dr. Bradley Arndt. He is a chiropractor and trained with Dr. Devi Nambudiprad, who created the treatment. Here is her website: www.naet.com Dr. Bradley has two offices, one on Sawmill Rd in Columbus, Ohio and one in Coshocton, Ohio. Here is his website: www.arndtchiro.com He charges $75 for the first visit and $35 each additional visit...WAY less than what our DAN! doc wanted to charge and she wanted to clear a bunch of other stuff before even starting on the food allergies. You can't submit it to insurance, but you CAN submit it to your FSA, if you have one. Any other questions, let me know! in OH ________________________________ From: DeGironimo <lisad529@...> Sent: Wed, November 11, 2009 8:12:35 AM Subject: [ ] acupressure  I am also VERY interested in the acupressure technique used. Can you supply contact info for the practitioner who did this? THANKYOU! We are doing something called Bioset to remove food sensitivities. .. you can Google that for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
