I do love CEs, and I was doing them on a everyday basis but I have a tendency to high blood pressure and I have noticed that CEs increase my BP, unfortunately!!!
Regarding the practitioner...I spent huge amount of time and $ and I tried different natural modalities( naturopatic DRs,acupuncture, herbs, homeopatic DRs ) but they were not able to help me with my problem ( hyperthyroid) and actually they were insisting to reduce my meds hoping that their treatment will support the reduction. It was not happening, which caused high pulse rate, palpitation and ER visits.
I have noticed that few DR understand thyroid problems, and even they were trying their best they were absolutely no help to me .
This is just my experience and I am pretty sure there are a lot of people who were helped with different natural approaches. It just did not happen to me
