Joe -- Re: Visit with Dr.Marinkovich

[Guest guest]

Joe -- Any treatment plan starts with an appropriate and ACCURATE

diagnosis and " cause " identification. Dr. Marinkovich leverages both

IgG and IgE (most only use IgE) to achieve this. Therefore, I would

see this step as the first most helpful element.

The next most helpful element involves the art and skill of

listening. Dr. Marinkovich took the time required to hear about my

situation, review test results from within my home, and discuss the

various sympthoms I was experiencing.

After these things, Dr. Marinkovich made treatment recommendations

that did NOT include steroid-based inhalers. His approach treats

the cause, not just the symptom(s). Beyond that, each treatment plan

is unique to the patient; therefore, what benefits I saw may not

apply to another individual.

May I ask -- why are you so intrigued by my post?

Dr. Marinkovich is

also my treating physician. I am glad he was able to help you.
