thanks for all your insight. This DR is actually being a great help. & He IS trying to give a *quick fix*... as he says; support the body properly and it will heal itself. His head is on straight, he's actually one of the GOOD Drs! :) My health, as you've read, needs a *quick fix* to get me *on my feet* so that I can _do_ the things that are more long lasting later... things that take the energy I didn't have til now. He only wanted me to do the IVs for a month, I think... my guess is he just didn't read the flush protocol, since it wasn't my *appointment time*, so he doesn't know what's actually involved.. I'll discuss it more with him at my next *official* appt. in Jan. Thanks. :)
