Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Holtorf has two clinics, Torrance CA & City, CA.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 It's my understanding that Dr Holtorf Does not see patients anymore. I was a patient there and saw Dr Wayne Wightman. I am currently Looking for a new Dr if that helpsYou. I travelled from Chicago to See him. Laurie Sent from my iPhone Does everybody get to see Dr. Holtorf that goes to California or does he have other practitioners working for him that follow his protocols for treating rt3?My PCP is no go when it comes to rt3 issues though she does get the adrenal fatigue/saliva tests and willing to treat me for it. My gyn is great with bio identicals but doesn't get rt3 issues either. I called my naturopath friend and she doesn't treat rt3, suggested Dr. in Eugene who follows 's protocol instead. I've heard pro's and con's to s treatment and am willing to go to California if I can get more info on experiences with Dr. Holtorf.<<Posted by: "venizia1948" nelsoncksbcglobal (DOT) net venizia1948Wed Feb 24, 2010 1:57 pm (PST)Hi all,I was just at the beauty salon and found an article in "Elle" magazine in the February issue of a women you felt awful, put on weight and was extremely tired and no sex drive.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I called Holtorf clinic just this week To see if I can have another DR look over My lab work sort of like a second Opinion because I feel like my dr at Holtorf has to be missing something.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Kem, If you want the name of a Nurse Practitioner with a hormoone practice in Eugene who has limited knowledge of RT3 but will probably be willing to work with you, email me privately.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 While we're on the subject of Dr. Holtorf, I just have to say that I have mixed feelings about him and his clinic. I went to it about 2 1/2 yrs ago and since I did not have the $400 or $450 to see him, I saw his NP, Pam, instead. I was pregnant and thought going to him was going to be the answer to my problems but aside from running the correct test and identifying a rT3 problem, that is ALL that they did for me. At one point, Dr. Holtorf even came in the room and talked to me and did some kind of grip strength test to determine how hypo I was but other than they he/they prescribed nothing for me. I had really hoped he would give me the SR T3 that the clinic is known for and some cortisone but he didn't. I don't know why he couldn't have given me the SR T3 but he didn't want to give me the cortisone because I was pregnant. Out of all the doctors, I would have thought this one would recognize the need for cortisone in pregnancy. So here I am now, many years later, still with adrenal fatigue and still with a rT3 issue. > > > > Does everybody get to see Dr. Holtorf that goes to California or does > > he have other practitioners working for him that follow his protocols > > for treating rt3? > > > > My PCP is no go when it comes to rt3 issues though she does get the > > adrenal fatigue/saliva tests and willing to treat me for it.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010  They definitely are all about money...I am not saying Dr. Holtorf doesn't have it right, but it seems they really push the supplements and are all about the money....

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I emailed Dr. Holtorf's clinic yesterday, to ask about what pharmacies are carrying his SL T3 formula. Here was the reply: Hi Alixe, The non-profit National Academy of Hypothyroidism has licensed the new formula to a few pharmacies. He is working closely with a pharmacy, the American Integrative Pharmacy, to do it and to do some progressive therapies, which will open soon. > > > > > > Does everybody get to see Dr. Holtorf that goes to California or does > > > he have other practitioners working for him that follow his protocols > > > for treating rt3? > > > > > > My PCP is no go when it comes to rt3 issues though she does get the > > > adrenal fatigue/saliva tests and willing to treat me for it.
