Lab Consultation
Hello LL:
I can understand your financial situation. I know that Medicare would not be involved or interested in reimbursing you.
I'd like to let you know that I know several people who've paid out of pocket - close to $1200+ - and received negative test results. That's a lot of wasted money and false hopes, in my opinion. If you read "What Happened to Proven Sciences" it may help to put into perspective as to why test results are faulty AND why costs for those labs are far less expensive.
Perhaps if there was a better understanding or appreciation for Apxr's work, testing methods, dedication, and very long hours he puts into observing specimens the issue of money becomes moot with exceeding the value/benefit with achieving results.
I can personally say that I've spent thousands of $ on accumulated cleanses, herbs, and medications over the years, on top of physical pain when the beast started to fight back. When I first started out I had no idea that things would drag on as long as they did. IF there was a RHR Plus available when I started out I may have been skeptical at first; BUT, in the end when results are unequivocally achieved and the benefits out weigh the costs there would be no hesitation on my part, particularly when I want to end the agony and get on with my life. I would’ve even tried out AZ Labs & GS – only IF I knew for sure that I could rely on them without submitting several tests over and over again! The money does add up along with everything else that I was trying to do with my health. In the end, the overall costs comes out to about the same or more.
In my opinion, this comes down to what is valued -- it's either we spend money on our health or make allowances for other things -- these are choices we need to all put into perspective.
Again, it's not that I don't understand where you stand on a fix income; it's happening to more people these days. I guess the real question for you is how much money have you put into your health over the years and are still looking for "answers"? If you knew that you had one shot to get an answer with a service that can deliver results, would you do it? This also means that your practitioner can use the results for a direction for healing. How do you put a value on something like that?
I've said this many times before, the lab consultation service isn't a 'get rich scheme' and far from it. Believe me when I say this and there are other costs that must be met.
I want to thank you for your post because I believe that this will help give people some perspective about the services, expectations, and our position with the fees.
Best of Health!
