Re: safe to work w/ a practitioner not approved by Dr. Wilson?
While I don't know what Dr. Wilson's people learn through him, I know it is very specific. If you read much of his website, you will see his opinions regarding diet, rest, supplements, etc.
I first consulted directly with the lab and spoke regularly to one of the consultants who happened to be Dr. Eck's son. Doug was very helpful, but since he did not work with clients, he was lacking in advice on the need for
coffee enemas and saunas which, in my case, have been very necessary for healing.
At some point I asked ARL for a list of practitioners and was sent one. I saw one name on there of a woman I knew from our celiac support group here in Phoenix and asked her for help. She is a great person (an acupuncturist) but did not help me. In fact, if I'd followed her advice, I would have regressed. Lots of people use ARL to help their clients, but I do believe the training Dr. Wilson offers is super important. NB is not replacement therapy which many use it as, i.e., your calcium is too high on the test so you don't need calcium supplements, rather than understanding that it's biounavailable, and, yes, you do need calcium supplements.
My advice still is to reach out to some Dr. Wilson-trained people, tell them your situation, and see what they say. I can recommend some people if you wish. Let me know.
