Dr. Taz, the problem I'm running into with Primary Care MDs is that if they take Medicare, they have to follow the guidelines of Medicare, and will only pay for those test and procedures to save money. To deviate from those standards takes up more time the doctor often does not want to spend fighting with insurance companies, so they easily do what they are told to do. Some even get mad at the patient if the patient keeps pushing for things the doctor doesn't want to do, and they label you non-compliant! I just recently got lectured by my new doctor to trust her to do her best for me and to be more compliant. Shes' only 37. I picked her because I thought being so young, she would be up on the latest studies and trends, but her med school training and beliefs were very traditional. But I will give her a chance because I'm tired of jumping from doctor to doctor. That is tracked in the medical record too, who was the last doctor, and you are looked at as being a psychologically unstable patient if you jump too much or are too non-compliant.
Very important to mention, if you ever do a a video like this again: certain minerals neeed to be measured in the whole blood (like Zinc, Mag, Iron, copper etc) not only in the serum and testing for heavy metals is also very important. We call this test (nurtients + metals) 11+6 in Germany and the price is roughly 80-95Euro (not coverd by insurance). Most doctors dont know how important that is and subconsequenly will not inform us. Tests for chemicals are important too because they are everywhere (especially in americanized countries), but these tests are very expensive. 230bucks for Formaldehyd, BTX, CKW, Lindan, PAK-Mix, PCB, PCP, Permethrin, Latex, 1,6-Diisocyanatohexan, Phthalsäureanhydrid, Dichlofluanid) Guys, what are the cost for bloodwork in your country ?
Thank you for this good reminder. I do push my physician for tests but it’s really hard to get more than the basics. Would you be willing to recommend any brands such as those you had in video, I just want to make sure I choose a source that provides the most accurate results. Again thank you for being there for all of us. Kathy
Hi Dr. Taz, I get exactly what you're saying and I have been having the same issues with Doctors for over 25 years!! I have been to way too many doctors, Integrative, Naturopathic and no one as of yet is putting my puzzle together. I am tired and very discouraged. What are we to do with the suggestions if our own doctors don't even believe in at home test kits or the very least do not think some of the testing is even helpful? I could use some insight and so you offer consultations ? Thank you for your time.
Question: I have two primary care doctors here in arizona. Neither will write the script for HOMA IR. Or fasting insulin. Quest requires doctors script. What can I do? I am 70.
Hello Doctor..I suffer from anxiety and tension when I face a problem. My body trembles, my heartbeat increases, and I feel difficult to speak. . I tried beta-blockers and my condition improved a lot..but I suffer from bronchiectasis and phlegm, which negatively affected my health..Are there nutritional supplements or herbs that work like beta-blockers?
I have an extremely oily face (looks oily after 30mins of washing it) and get hot/sweat an abnormal amount on my intire body. My face is all the time but the body sweat isn’t. Dr wants to say it’s hypohydrosis but I know that’s not what’s going on especially with my oil production on my face. I know something isn’t right and it’s effecting my life. Any suggestions of Blood work testing I should consider doing? Thank you for your help 🙏
Can somebody answer a question? Got my blood test results, the printout they gave me read 38 mmol/mol. According to their numbers this is under the good range. The other 2 are moderate and poor. Yet they sent a text saying that my cholesterol is high, without making life style changes. I could head towards a risk of cardiovascular disease. At reception they were unable to explain it and the chances of speaking to a GP is slim as it's too busy. Can anyone explain by any chance?
Are you familiar with hair dialysis test? It tells us what minerals are lacking or not. My dr will not order this test. Our body has too much estrogen and we need more progesterone . Home tests are costly.

Yesss Dr Taz! It’s so important to take control of our health and advocate for answers. 🎉
Great video Dr. Taz, thank you!!

I think we have to plug ahead because all data helps. And we have to find partners in our health care- which is what we do @centrespringmd

@@DrTazMD Are there supplements to treat my condition?
Ask a good orthomolecular doctor.

Doctors won’t order extra tests or interpret or treat
😢 reality 😮
Go online and order the kizs, labs will send you the results..Downside is that you might have to pay out of pocket.

Our body has too much estrogen and we need more progesterone .
Home tests are costly.
I feel like I have to seek out an infection diease doctor because ny primary care physician tells me the same thing every time I am chronicly sick
hmm - look at your gut health - often the root of the immune system
Why not put a PDF file or just type the tests in your comment area?
Yes, I need a LIST of actual tests to ask for!
Just write it down on paper
