Consultations
Welcome…we hope we can be helpful.
Dr. Nathan is available for consultation appointments.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
This is the informational email that we send to all queries. I think this will answer many of your initial questions and I am happy to address any others that you may have. We encourage you to read Dr. Nathan’s books, Toxic, Heal Your Body and The Sensitive Patient’s Healing Guide, to learn if his words speak to your symptoms.
Let’s begin here…
Have you had a RealTime Labs mycotoxins test? If so, can you send us a copy of the mycotoxins test? Dr. Nathan can review the results to learn if he needs additional testing.
Before we schedule, Dr. Nathan insists that you have a current RealTime Labs mycotoxins test. https://realtimelab.com/product/mycotoxin-test/. The RealTime Labs mycotoxins test has proven to be the most reliable test available on the market. No other mycotoxins test will supply the information that we need. If applicable, for Lyme Disease, Dr. Nathan prefers the IGeneX Immuno Blot IgG and IgM for testing.
Dr. Nathan’s recommendations to get the best results from your RealTime Labs mycotoxins test:
If you take a sauna or hot bath the night before you collect your urine, this is more accurate, and if you can also take 500mg of glutathione (suggested brand – Researched Nutritionals) twice a day for a week before you collect your specimen, that is more accurate still. If you have a reaction to the glutathione, stop taking it immediately, collect your urine sample and mail in the test kit to the lab. The RealTime test takes about 10 days to get back the results. If you are taking binders, stop taking them for 3 days before collecting your urine sample. Dr. Nathan does not recommend that children under 10 years old take the glutathione. Only a warm bath the night before.
At this point, we are asking that your treating physician be involved in all discussions. Why? First of all, Dr. Nathan is only a consultant. He retired from his clinical practice and is no longer treating patients directly. We have found that involving your treating physician (MD, DO, ND, NP, PA with prescriptive authority and NOT following Shoemaker protocols) from the beginning is the most productive and successful approach. Your practitioner can follow through on Dr. Nathan’s suggestions and observations, order labs, and most important, prescribe your medications. We can schedule follow-up appointments (usually in 4 month intervals) if necessary. Please contact your doctor to see if he/she is willing and able to play this role. Your treating physician needs to be well versed in treating environmentally acquired illnesses i.e. mold toxicity, Lyme disease, CFS, MCAS, etc. We have found that optimal treatment requires regular adjustments to your program. Dr. Nathan, as a consultant, cannot do that for you and you need a physician who is knowledgeable enough to be able to provide this level of care. There is a list of medical practitioners who have studied and consulted with Dr. Nathan on the website. Just to clarify, you do not have to choose one of these physicians. Your current medical practitioners may be the right person to be involved in your consultation discussion.
Dr. Nathan can sort through your laboratory work and review your symptoms and health history to help you and your treating physician to understand what may have been missed in terms of diagnoses or treatments and to provide direction as to how to0 move forward and to understand the bigger picture of your illness. The majority of patients who use this service have had a lot of testing and seen many health care professionals but do not feel that they are progressing and are missing something or going in the wrong direction for treatment.
For further information regarding Dr. Nathan’s work, please visit www.neilnathanmd.com. His ebook, Mold and Mycotoxins 2022, may be of interest as well. Dr. Nathan has many discussions available on YouTube and we highly recommend the BetterHealthGuy.com podcasts.
After we have confirmed a consultation appointment with you and your doctor, we can send you a Zoom link and all can easily join in the discussion from different locations.
Cost of a phone consultation: $550 for the initial 60 minute consultation and we can schedule follow up appointments at $400 for 45 minutes and $275 for 30 minutes.
If you have any questions and/or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
