Thanks Bex for the post. I appreciate it!

I am just concerned that even if I get better he might not believe me. Or if some type of complication comes up he might immediately blame it on the protocol or refuse to refill the prescriptions. I can't imagine any one of his patients actually gets better on the every other day protocol. I wish I could talk to some of them about it.

Even you had a doctor that saw you getting worse on his protocol, but continued to tell you it was best. I am sort of getting this vibe from him and it's scaring me. He was never like this at any other visit and I think I hit a sore spot with him.

I have no intentions of doing the every other day protocol. I was just really dumbfounded to see this doctor immediately reject Dr. Cutler's protocol without even knowing WHAT IT WAS or WHO HE WAS. It was just like, "Oh that's different than what I recommend, so it's bad". He copied a few pages from the book, but I told him to fully understand the protocol you have to read the entire book. I doubt he ordered a copy for himself tonight. Maybe I'll just say a prayer for him. I don't know. These natural doctors are blind too.

As long as he refills my DMSA prescriptions, I guess I will continue to see him. I just wanted to have a doctor that I could talk to about this protocol and it doesn't seem like he is the one. I feel like I'm going to be on my own with this protocol. I'd love to have a doctor keeping an eye on my progress, but no one in this area that considers themselves "natural" doctors wants to touch DMSA or even talk about it. They all want me to use chlorella, EDTA, cilantro, glutathione (sp?), and everything else Cutler says to avoid like the plague.

/sigh I'm frustrated tonight. Thanks for letting me vent!!
