Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Ron, I live in the SF area and, like you, have found that some of the " best docs " are the most opinionated and RAI-oriented. You might call around and ask the Docs or their office whether or not they are open to B & R before you put down your money. You can also find out ahead of time how they feel about RAI. Dr. Shames in San , author of Thyroid Power, is big on T3 and might be open to B & R. He's got a site on the internet. Good luck with your search and health.
