Guest guest Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 We have not heard of Spurlock taking any insurance for office visits, but he will send you to a lab that is in network for your PPO insurance or Medicare. The lab will bill your insurance. Launius is an MD in ville. He will prescribe any thyroid med, but his preference is Cytomel plus $ynthroid. He takes no insurance at all, but has very low fees. He does not do too much with other hormones, nor will he continue a protocol started by another doc. I made an inquiry for myself one time and was told that he would prescribe everything except my hydrocortisone. You may get your GP to continue your thyroid meds, but don't count on getting your bio-identical hormones from any doc who does not usually prescribe them. Olive leaf extract is said to be antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral. I use it as an antifungal when taking antibiotics, but do not know about its use against viruses, how to use it, how much to take, what side effects it may have. >> Someone thought Spurlock was now taking BC/BS, did anyone confirm?> > Where is Launius now? He is T3 only, chiro, cannot Rx? Use Thyrogold? from Dr. Lowe (+), or what? No insurance either, correct? May be deal-breaker for both.> > Dr. Larry Sharp DO from Wichita Falls TX, left for Dallas and more $, if tells u anything. Knew people who went to him at local clinic, was a Gen Med.> > Getting better treatment from new hormone doc: bio-id P, feel calmer, others: Candida Rxs, IV nutrition, thyroid & DHEA. Feel better except had to stop bio-id DHEA, made fierce b*tchy. More energy but not great yet. Wanting to set new protocols that work for ME, then any gen med doc in TX can continue them.> > Still waiting to return to TX from visiting other state. Perhaps sinuses & dh's asthma improve in drier climate. Dh getting bad IVIGs here, make sicker to get, better in TX. Sick all time. Groceries and Church, that's it. Fairly housebound.> > Now I have the shingles (+ Fibro/CFS), elderly kind that burn but don't break out, may take 3-6 months to go away, Mayo website said, meanwhile antivirals (bad for liver). How can I support it? I know Milk Thistle, but if gut doesn't absorb it?> > NDT re-starting hurts & swells thyroid some, so wondering if Synthetics better, or ride it out? Never taken Synthetics. Doc says no antibodies anymore on 240 mg, tho. Then why does it hurt when restarting NDT? Doesn't sound right to me. Vicki K> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
