Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hello, doctor Kempf is a good doctor but you need to ask him to give you the antibiotic protocol otherwise he puts you on the biologics. I was treated by him when I lived in land, then moved to Arizona.

I haven't had a lot of tests yet because once I was diagnosed by a doctor because of my RA level in my bloodwork it took me a long time to try to see a Rhuemy at land U. Once i was there he took 5 min with me and told me to get more blood work and come back in 6 weeks. i became discouraged. Now that my symptoms are getting worse and I can't live off advil I have been trying to learn everything I can in the past 6 months. I am looking for a doctor in land/Northern VA that might use the AP treatment. I looked into a holistic doctor knows to do the AP but he is $450 an hour and my first day I will be there 6 hours and doesn't take insurance. Unfortunately, I can't afford much of anything right now. I got the name of a Dr. Kempf in Virginia off of a website but can't find much info on him, has anyone ever used him or heard of him? Any help is really appreciated I'm glad I found a group where I can try to learn more about these illness's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 You might try Gabe Mirken in Kensington MD. He has retired but I believe the practitioners running his business will do AP for RA. His phone and address are: (301) 942 7900, 10901 Connecticut Ave, #100, Kensington, MD 20895 El Ps you might want to make sure you don't have Lyme's underlying the RA. _____ From: rheumatic [mailto:rheumatic ] On Behalf Of tcregon Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 10:35 AM rheumatic Subject: rheumatic AP Treatment in land Hi everyone: I'm new to the group and have been trying to do all the research I can on my diagnosis of RA.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi, Ethel!  I recently moved to the DC/land area, as well. I would love to have a list, also. At the moment, I'm traveling back to OH to see my AP doc there since I know no one here.  Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm going to see my rheumy tomorrow for PA and am ready to go on MTX. Ran a Half Marathon last year, and now pain full all over. Celebrex keeps it in check, but am worried about the future. I'm in Carroll County, MD. Can I also get the list of MD docs that will do the AP? Thanks, > > Hi everyone: > I'm new to the group and have been trying to do all the research I can on my diagnosis of RA.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 when they put me on MTX I got worse very quickly, not only did the arthritis get much worse and spread, but the mtx started to make me sick (like any chemo drug might) with nausiousness, dizzy, tired, hair falling out, etc... Id take my pills on weds and by sat I would be sick.. But the pain got worse. So just be careful, MTX lowers the immune system and IF you are fighting a mycoplasma infection that allows the mycos to grow even more....
