Do I understand correctly that Dr. Peatfield can still see patients

but he can't prescribe medications?

Have you talked with him about chelation and what does he have to say

about that?

From what I understand yes, Dr Peatfield still sees patients

regularly. I believe he travels up and down the country very

frequently seeing many people in the different clinics he has around

the UK. Getting an appointment took a long time because he is so

booked up in advance. He told me he regularly has people fly over

from USA to see him for help.

He told me the story about him disagreeing with the " establishment "

over his methods of treatment. When I saw him it was part of the

literature he gave me about himself but I have thrown it out now. He

could not work with the system because he disagreed with the

traditional methods that so obviously don't work, so he re-educated

and re-classified himself as an " complementary therapist in the field

of nutrition. " He does the same thing though….he cures people's

metabolic illnesses.

Personally, after all I have learnt about traditional western

medicine, I think being struck-off is an excellent way to market

himself, because the system sucks and the drugs are rubbish and

dangerous. He is a very old, very nice man who is only the second

doctor that actually listened to me and my sorry symptoms.

It is true he cannot prescribe medication. Glandulars do not require

prescription.

I only saw him only once. I then exchanged 10-12 emails with him over

the last 10 months. Discussing my progress and what to do next. He

took a long time to reply to the emails but they me cost nothing. He

had to frequently tell me that it takes time and that it will work

and that I need to be patient. It did take time, 10 months, and it

did work. The one appointment cost £140 ($280) which is not a lot of

money considering some of the other money I have wasted on so called

specialists. The last specialist I saw cost double that and I

disagreed with everything he suggested so I never went back.

He was " aware " on mercury problems and he was " aware " of chelation

methods, but that was not his expertise. His expertise is metabolic

illnesses: thyroids and adrenals. People should not see him for

chelation because that's not what he does.

Before I saw him I read lots of books about all this stuff, educated

myself right up, but when I started the ACE I got all these weird

symptoms that no one could tell me why where happening. He sat me

down, listened to me, saw what I doing wrong and put it right. All I

did was increase my ACE dose too quickly, but nowhere did I read this

and it took his expertise to spot the minor error I made and put it

right. Because my adrenals where in such bad shape the sudden

introduction of extra hormones played havoc with me and I needed to

start at ultra low doses and work slowly up. I started at 25mg per

day and finished at 1000mg per day which is when things started

working for me.
