Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hello, Dr. Franco's contacts are: A. Franco, M.D. (rheumatologist - IV and oral) Andre P. Lallande, D.O. (June 2000) Arthritis Center of Riverside 4000 14th Street - Suite 511 Riverside, CA 92501 P : 909-788-0850 F : 909-788-4966 I can send you the contacts for other doctors in California if you want them, but Dr. Franco has treated thousands of patients with antibiotic therapy and is one of the most experienced rheumatologists in the world with this therapy.

Is there anyone else in any of these area's? thank you very much, K I go to Dr. Steve , the son of Nick , the head of Igenex Lab that does many different types of Lyme tests. I like him, as he specializes in Lyme and goes to all the conferences. He is willing to treat pretty aggressively. We are trying Levaquin and Cedax now (Levaquin due to the Klebsiella and Proteus in my gut), alternating with Minocin every few weeks. His number is 619-977-8996. He practices in San Diego and Long Beach and may move to N. Calif, but come down to the L.A. area several days per month. He also is doing phone appointments with patients, which is more convenient in many cases for follow ups. I'm not sure if he deals much with insurance as of now, but since insurance often won't recognize the tests used, they may not be very relevant in many cases.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Dear K, Dr. Franco in Riverside is one of giants in AP treatment. He will want to start with a lot of expensive tests. Get a price quotation before you start. His website is http://www.thearthritiscenter.com I was able to obtain my first AP prescription from Dr. Svetlana Stivi of the Whitaker Wellness Institute, who is very good. See http://www.whitakerwellness.com/html/staffbios.html The Whitaker Wellness Institute is located in Orange County, CA, just off OC Airport. They work with Medicare, but not with any private insurance company.

I really think I will see him. Do you know how much longer he will be in San Diego and Long Beach? I should set up an appointment with him soon before he leaves. I am also having real bad problems with stomach bacteria, does he look into that and treat it? thanks, I think he said that if he goes up north, it won't be for a few months. I'm not certain about the stomach bacteria, but he does use Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab's stool tests, so I assume he would be able to deal with the stomach too, like with Helicobacter test and treatment.
