| - I decided to give Dr. F. a shot at some of my health issues because of what an acquaintance had said about her. I usually like Applied Kinesiology - a muscle testing method - to determine core level issues and what kind of supplements work best. After three months of working with her, I told her I was feeling worse with my energy and brain fog and after our session and determining what kind of supplements tested well, she just turned to me and said, " Your are sick" This kind of shocked me because I appear to be in fairly good shape at 63. When I asked her if I could cut down on the number of supplements I was having to take 2 x /day, she said to me, " You need more not less". And that was it. When someone is in a weakened state we tend to want to trust our doctor have our best interest at heart. With those comments and poor bedside manner I decided not to go back, get a refund on my unused supplements ( which the office gladly did) and I never went back.
Early on I asked for some of her records so I could see what she determined as some of my issues that she had mentioned verbally - lung, parasites, infections, stomach/gut stuff - and the progress we had made. Her comment was, " I do not supply notes about our session. You can take notes if you like but I do not supply records " I told her how hard it is to listen during a short session ( you only have so much time) and take notes too. She did not have an answer to that except that it was my problem.
If you are looking for a functional medicine holistic doctor, do your homework, get references. Not easy to do but do not leap before you look. Live and learn sometimes.
