I envy your opportunitity to see that functional med doc. Not all of us have that kind of change jingling in our pockets. If you don't mind, how much out of pocket is that? Here in Indiana, USA, it was like 1,000 USD every time I walked in that office, can no longer afford to do it. It is the healthcare model of the future (or should be) yet it is so expensive... frustrating. And I have to say that people here have been more supportive, and if they spend anytime at all thinking about are questions that is more than many well paid docs. This is people helping people. It is a great resource because were not trying to sell each other lab tests or supplements or anything else. There is alot of BS but most of that gets self-policed pretty well.
