Question for you:
What supplements do you take now?I've spent quite a bit of money, both insurance and my own, at a naturopath/psychiatrist combo office. The service I got doesn't sound as expert or throrough as yours. Mine never suggested checking gut or liver problems. They seemed focused on neurotransmitter precursors, thyroid, adrenals, vitamins and fish oil, and an assortment of herbs. They did prescribe herbs for liver function, but they never tested anything. They never evened mentioned gut problems or food allergies. I did take a food allergy test and am moderately allergic to eggs an milk, but I have heard from other people that these allergy tests are worthless, they miss things, and the only real way to find out is stop certain foods for a few weeks and then challenge them by reintroducing them again. That's the problem with naturopathy, they all have a different opinion and way of doing things. But I guess it's like that in psychopharm too.
I think finding good service is not so easy. And once you do find it, it does cost a lot of money. With an expert in this field I think it would be worth it. The problem is you never know until after you've already spent hundreds of dollars whether you are dealing with an expert or not.
It sounds like you got a real good practitioner and that great!
