Benjamin Lynch is in WA, not sure how far you want to travel though. If I still lived in Seattle though, I'd totally commute to see him, he's that good!

Jill Ghormley!

We are with Dr John Catanzaro and have seen a HUGE impact in one session. Their clinic does it all!

paul anderson clinic. i have my first appointment with dr. madison tomorrow. they were recommended by a friend who sees them for dna snp/methylation consulting. http://amsa1.com/

Is Dr Catanzaro a regular MD, and does he take insurance? What does he specialize in? Do you think he knows how to treat toxic mold/mycotoxins and Lyme along with gene mutations? Also, Susan Howard, same questions Regarding Dr Rinde??? What type Dr, specialty etc? THANKS all!! ..Looking myself for same in Seattle area that treats all the above, and unfortunately I have no naturopathic coverage with Regence Medicare Advantage plan. It irks me that many of the low cost Obama care plans that some pay next to nothing for (government subsidized) have naturopathic coverage (in fact plans may be required to, I think by law), yet I pay a good amount for my insurance, ( & have paid 30 yrs into it) but the Medicare plans will not cover any naturopathic, acupuncture, or other "alternative medicine" care, & only in very limited cases,short term chiropractic. Seems quite discriminatory to me.

Dr Benjamin a Lynch He has a podcast on you tube

Lindsey Liguori, could you also tell me more about Paul Anderson clinic and what their expertise is? Haven't heard of them either.. Only know of Klinghardt, Marty Ross, David Buscher (mold), & some naturopathic groups as some of the better known. Wasn't sure if there was anyone around here that really had all the expertise or that I could afford to see. THANKS.

Ben Lynch is great but he doesn't do consults and I traveled from LA to Seattle for 6 mos to see Dr Anderson I am MTHFR, CBS, COMT etc...I am a Nutritionist myself for 18 years and Dr Anderson did help me immensely with what turned out was Lyme and coinfections that were literally killing me. He did miss the mold that caused it all though even though I mentioned it. He does know his methylation. Dr Anderson is not taking new patients and when I was there last winter to summer he was gone a lot of the time. And I was paying to live there so it was a bit frustrating. But the IV protocols from Dr A saved my life. Dr Madison was not well versed in the SNP's when I was there.In fact Dr Anderson had told me she was running them through the support site and they never turned up for that appt. Maybe that has changed. She is a nice lady but she's young and not too long out of school (Bastyr) I didn't get anywhere with her personally. Dr Hetherington worked there at the time and he was great in my opinion. He is and ND and and RN. If I was living in Seattle again I would go to Bastyr Clinic and see one of the students/preceptors or NDs who work there. This is all new info so unless a Practitioner is going to classes taught by Ben Lynch, Dr Anderson, Dr Yasko etc.. or learning it at school or at the clinic there I don't think they will have this down. I've been studying it for over a year now and there is so much to learn to make it applicable to patients clinically. Ben Lynch's website is a great start if you can understand biochemistry.

THANKS, Juli Keene Padgett. I remember "talking" to you before on here. Problem is my memory is so affected now, I can't remember what you had told me before.. Had you also been seen at the Sophia clinic with Klinghardt or associates, or was that someone else? Remember talking w/someone who had moved up here for a while to see them. Didn't feel it was worth all the expense in the end. You're right, very complicated stuff!

If you need an MD covered by insurance you can try Arti Chandra at Swedish Hospital, she is a smart cookie, learning a lot on MTHFR but she is on board for leaky gut and like hard cases. She is not an MTHFR expert, she tries, but getting some tests ordered through her and covered by insurance may help. Also I am pretty sure she is a DO even better than MD

Dr. Ben Lynch is awesome; not sure he's doing consults but he has great website.!

not an MD, but an amazing MS DC CN CCN who we have been seeing for years. Well versed in all of the above http://www.designedclinicalnutrition.com/about-us/

Kathy Jaggi, there is a report for Hashimoto's if you search the Gene Library. Here it is: https://livewello.com/library/hypothyroidism-4878-1329?author=martin.dawson.606 What to do after you receive your Gene Results: https://www.facebook.com/notes/livewello/what-to-do-after-you-receive-your-gene-report/1055175377843626

Here's what SNPedia has to say. I looked it up because I have Hashimoto's and always wondered if there is a genetic component. http://snpedia.com/index.php/Rs1867277

These are the links I took to my doctors. Dr. Amy Yasko will publish a book soon on understanding biochemical lab testing. www.knowyourgenetics.com http://www.autismnti.com/yourbodyschemistry.html http://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/113616573 http://knowyourgenetics.com/media/pdf/Simplified%20Protocol.pdf http://chronicdiseaserecovery.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/mthfr-and-lithium/

Dr Andrea Rosario at Functional Longevity Institute in Sacramento http://www.flihealth.com (916) 993-3808 (916) 550-0567 She does phone & Skype consults Dr. Rosario specializes in thyroid and autoimmune disorders. She trained under Dr. Kharrazian (functional medicine/thyroid management) and also does functional neurology and nutrition based off genetics. She truly addresses the whole story and gets amazing results. Her practice is a very warm and healing environment. She also is a Hashimoto's sufferer since she was a kid, so she practices what she preaches.

Dr. Nancy Mullan works with Dr. Yasko and is an expert in methylation http://nancymullanmd.com/ I've been working with her for several months.

Marcia - I sent a message to Dr Mullan. She's actually about an hour and 15 minutes away from me.

Dr. Mullan looked like a great choice! I hope you get the help that you need.

I just heard back from Dr. Mullan's office. Her initial consultation fee is $997 for an hour to an hour and half visit!!!! plus $497.00 per hour for follow up visits. I cannot afford this, unfortunatley.

No wonder she didn't have any price info on her site. I was wondering about that but figured I would look into it later. I am seeing a new functional medicine doctor tomorrow who is under our new insurance plan. I had MA Health which nobody worth seeing would take. Thankfully my husband just got a permanent job after being laid off almost 3 years ago and having unemployment and contract work since then. Trying to get back on our feet financially and get better at the same time.

Suzi Westby-Gibson Macdonald-Hi neighbor! Small world! I am over there in Newburyport all the time. Volunteer at Arrowhead Farm for a CSA share and have been seeing Dr. Dan Eyink(who got rid of my chronic Lyme and so many other issues). The functional medicine doctor I am seeing is at Visions Medical Center in Dedham, MA. Her name is Dr. Milanovic. I noticed in a newsletter that she went to one of Amy Yasko's seminars. She is on a youtube video talking about functional medicine as well so I thought I would give her a try since I need a primary doc for insurance. The other doctors in the practice have some experience in methylation issues but are not taking new patients. My old doctor left to go to Rothfeld Center in Waltham so I had to find a new one once I got off MA Health(Visions won't take it) and my husband found a permanent job with new insurance. I dread explaining everything to another new doctor, though, if you know what I mean.

Where did Dr. Catanzaro get his genetics training? The only training I saw was Bastyr.

You might also want to try Dr. Nancy Mullan. I think she works with Dr. Yasko in some capacity. She also does a free weekly Q&A call to discuss methylation and SNPs.

Go to functionalmedicine.org and search your area.

Ellie York Cook and Mary L. Russell, Dr. David Berger at Wholistic Pediatrics in Tampa. He is seeing adults now. I just took my son there last week. He has a really good reputation for helping mothers concieve too.http://wholisticfamilycare.com/

I don't know how far you are from Orlando (if you're in Clearwater, it shouldn't be too bad). Dr Maggie Ruiz is a functional medicine doctor who's obtaining her MD soon. She says she very experienced with mthfr, and her prices are very reasonable). I don't have any reviews on her.

Dr Kelly McCann, Costa Mesa Ca.

Dr. Kelly McCann in Costa Mesa. Love her!

I've heard of Dr. McCann\

There is a doctor list at MTHFR.net that might be some help

I know it's a longshot, I hope you find someone. I know there are various lists on different websites. If you follow Dr. Lynch's personal page on Facebook and ask him that question, he might have a suggestion. He answered a question for me that way, once.

Also, asking questions on MTHFR.net might elicit a response from Dr. Lynch.
