Guest guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 There are more MD's these days who practice environmental medicine. There is at least one practitioner I know of in the Seattle area.

Stacey, You probably aren't going to find a conventional physician who will think outside the pharmaceutical box. Dr. Shoemaker is good, but if you can't get to him, if you look at the AAEM list of environmental doctors in your region by doing a computer search, some of them know and treat mold/chemical exposures. Ask questions about their protocols before you make the appointment like " How do you treat mold/chemical exposures? " You can also look up practitioners in your area who are naturopaths, or alternative medicine practitioners.Sometimes chiropractors especially chiropractic neurologists can be helpful. Again, ask questions before you go to the office. Some in my area will talk to patients certain hours and talk about their detox protocols like IV supplementation, oral chelation, and oxygen therapies. Hope this gives you some ideas...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Ha accepts Blue Cross Blue Sheild. But make sure your plan pays out of state physicians. On the back of your card, there should be a paragraph about out of state. If you can't locate it, call his office and they can help you. > From: Stacey <staceycannon27@...> > Subject: [] Re: Locating Physicians > > Date: Tuesday, July 1, 2008, 9:10 PM > Does Dr. Shoemaker accept any types of insurance or is this > something > that is 100% out of pocket?

Since you said you already are going to do so, Ta da.. problem solved. From: Stacey <staceycannon27@...> Subject: [] Re: Locating Physicians Date: Tuesday, July 1, 2008, 10:10 PM Does Dr. Shoemaker accept any types of insurance or is this something that is 100% out of pocket?
