I am looking for a good Naturopath/Homeopath in Los Angeles

[Guest guest]

I have a friend in LA who has used naturopaths in the past - I'll see

if she has one she would recommend.

I think you are on the right track albeit rather long.

 

You might try Dr. Douglas Graham. It is only a suggestion and

one consultation would probably be worth the try given all the other

attempts you have had.

Dr. Graham is a Chiropractor and easily found on the web through any

search engine

[Raw Food] I am looking for a good Naturopath/Homeopath in Los

Angeles

 

 

 

I'm new to this board and have been having severe digestive

problems accompanied by heart palpitations and hypoglycemic

spells. I've been to a thousand Dr.'s. Symptoms include:

Inability to gain weight, lower abdominal pain (below navel),

Tinnitus, extreme fatigue, eipodes of nausea after eating, cold,

clammy skin, poor circulation in extremities, depression, severe

anxiety, chest pain, spells of tachycardia and arrythmia, slow HR,

weakness in legs, poor exercise tolerance, dizzy spells,

disorientation, pins and needles, etc... I can't work, have trouble

leaving the house, etc...I have ruled out heart disease and

cancer, and have had just about every medical test known to

man. I'm seeing a Rheumytologist who did an ANA test and said

I have an auto-immune/connective tissue disorder because of

my loe platelets, low white, and periodically low red count, along

with a low positive ANA. He wants to put me on a drug to treat the

disorder, but I hate drugs and refuse to take them unless the

disease is killing me! Anyway, I've seen one naturopath who is

too expensive and not very attentive so I'm looking for another.

I'm also considering seeing a well known herbalist (Van

Benschoten) but am not sure what direction to go in. I am a 37

year old male, 6ft, 165pnds, reasonably good health up until a

few years ago. I try to exercise, but feel too weak at times. they

diagnosed me with bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine as

I'm having trouble digesting carbs (pasta, breads, certain fruits). I

tried Primal Defense by Garden Of Life, but felt nothing for

weeks, then had severe symptoms (Hypoglycemia, Cold

extremities, nausea, fatigue). The doc says no Probiotics

because of the overgrowth, so I discontinued and feel a little

better. I am currently on an organic diet and eat raw vegies, fresh

vegie juice, fruits, chicken, fish, nuts and seeds and sprouted

grains. I supplement with Kyolic liquid garlic, Fish oil (liquid),

Ground flax seeds, E, B-complex, B-12, Caprilic acid (for

possible candida), Uva ursi, Kyo-Green, Sun Chlorella, and

goats milk (powder-Garden Of Life) and Soy or Rice Milk Protein

shake. Anyone know an excellent naturopath in Los Angeles?

Any advice on diet??? I'm going to read more about the raw diet,

but am concerned about my Hypoglycemia with this, as too

much fruit might cause problems. Any advice??? Thanks.
