I was all set to have testing done at the natural health center for next week...
thermography, a full body scan looking for inflammation. Then some lab work done and vitamin testing and a urinalysis too. I was also going to meet and have the doctors visit to interpret the testing results. About $400 out of pocket as insurance will not pay for it.
The thermography test can help detect breast cancer before a mamogram can. In theory.
I found out that the vitamin testing is a hand cradle.
I asked what lab tests would be done and the receptionist could not tell me not what the uninalysis would test for. They were going to have the wellness coordinator call me. They changed my appointments on me and then said I would have to meet up with the doctor to read the screening.
I ended up not doing it and canceled the whole thing, I was going to have to go to 2 different places in different citys. A couple of my friends were leery of the practice so I just canceled it.
Instead I went to my regular family doctor and had lab work done and scheduled an appointment for my yearly physical(no pap). All done under a wellness exam so that is covered under my insurance.
I hope to see a new dr. who does practice wholistic medicine...will find out if she takes my insurance.
I will have to pay out of pocket to see her.
