Transformed, you still have my vote on it being a great place for you..

peace-kim

All of my advice comes from research and personal experience. I strongly suggest that you each check with your doctor for approval before changing or adding anything to your treatment.


Peace . . . starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities, and so on. When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. And there are ways in which we can consciously work to develop feelings of love and kindness. For some of us, the most effective way to do so is through religious practice. For others it may be non-religious practices. What is important is that we each make a sincere effort to take our responsibility for each other and for the natural environment we live in seriously.

Thanks Kim. Do you know anyone who has gone and seen good results. It is extremely expensive.

I don't know of anyone that has gone, but the place sounds incredible and I fully support the approach they take towards healing the body..

It's just my opinion , I'm sure others will have theirs..but do what you feel most comfortable with..that's all that matters.

Will your insurance cover any of it? Is this all out of pocket?

What are your instincts telling you?

I pretty sure I will be paying for alot of it. My insurance will only cover so much and I am usually on my own for the majority.

It like what they stand for but I have also been to places like this and it was just about money for the

And they did not seem to really care and follow the patients. So it

Is hard to say.

Trying to find others who have experience w this or a place like it.

Thanks for responding Kim!

hi my ny friend,

i just posted this in ACTIVISM and see apparently this dr. morrison is listed in this book IF it's the same person; i don't know; just copying/pasting what i posted elsewhere on books.

THIS IS FREE ONLINE NOW

so why not read what this dr. says about he does??!!!!!

"Insights into Lyme Disease Treatment:

13 Lyme-Literate Health Care Practitioners Share Their Healing Strategies," by Connie Strasheim, is now available for free reading on-line.

TOUCHED BY LYME: Important Lyme book now available free on Google Books

29 November, 2011

Here's an excerpt from my, Dorothy Leland's, review when the book was published in 2009:

Each chapter functions like the comprehensive preliminary interview you’d like to have with any doctor before you commit to becoming his or her patient.

Asking questions like:

What’s your background?

What’s your Lyme treatment philosophy?

What antibiotics (if any) can I expect you to use—and what alternative medical treatments (if any)?

What do you do if treatment doesn’t seem to be working?

The doctors include:

Steven J. Harris, MD (Redwood City, CA);

Steven Bock, MD (Rhinebeck, NY);

Susan Marra, MS, ND (Seattle, WA);

Ginger Savely, DNP (San Francisco, CA);

W. Lee Cowden, MD (Panama City, Panama);

Ingo D.E. Woitzel, MD (Pforzheim, Germany);

Ronald Whitmont, MD (Rhinebeck, NY);

Deborah Metzger, Ph.D., MD (Los Altos, CA);

Peter J Muran, MD, MBA (San Luis Obispo, CA);

Nicola McFadzean, ND (San Diego, CA);

Marlene Kunold, HCP (Hamburg, Germany);

E. Hesse-Sheehan, DC, CCN (Kirkland, WA);

Jeffrey Morrison, MD (New York City, NY).

The 13 practitioners selected for this book come at it from a wide span of medical viewpoints:

allopathic,

naturopathic,

chiropractic,

homeopathic and

energy medicine.

While most include at least some antibiotics in their treatment regimens, several use none at all.

All thirteen incorporate some form of alternative medicine—some to a much greater extent than others.

Each doctor walks you through his or her approach to treating chronic Lyme—such as

drugs,

supplements,

probiotics, and immune system issues.

There are discussions about detoxification, healing the gut, the role of hormones.

Lifestyle recommendations focus on diet, exercise, financial considerations and how friends and family can affect treatment outcomes.

There are explanations of lesser-known treatments such as the Bionic 880 (a photon therapy device pioneered by Dr. Woitzel in Germany.)

Although commonalities exist among the doctors, each chapter presents a highly individualized approach.

The book doesn’t single out any one of them as giving the final word in treatment.

Instead, it portrays each one as offering important pieces to the complex puzzle of treating chronic Lyme disease.

Choosing the right doctor for you is one of the most important decisions a Lyme patient must make.

True to its name, this book offers the reader valuable insight into different methods for treating chronic Lyme and suggests the questions you should be asking about your own care.

Even if you never have an opportunity to be treated by the healers in this book, you can benefit from their wisdom and experience.

Hi, can anyone say anything about this place?

It looks top quality but it is expensive. I am switching doctors at the recommendation of my own to find one that mixes natural protocals as well.

I'm torn between this spending an extra few hundred dollars or going to a different one that seems nice and is cheaper but I'm not sure if she would be able to provide the level of service at Morrison. - http://lymecareplus.webs.com/

Maybe it is worth the extra few hundred. I guess maybe I could if my dad lent me money I could pay him back it just seems like Morrison center goes all out.

Thanks
