I have already posted about my BAD experiences with the Holtorf Medical Group, but couldn't find my old thread to link to. Several others had also posted their bad Holtorf Medical experiences on that thread, with complaints similar to mine. (Was that thread deleted?)
I consulted with one of the Holtorf Medical doctor back in January of 2009. I was prescribed hormones--both thyroid (T3) and hydrocortisone (HC). The HC reeked total havoc on my system, caused severe side effects (severe anxiety, severe insomnia and worst of all--cardiac arrhythmia), followed by a crash of my adrenals that ended in the MAJOR relapse/setback that I am still recovering from to this day. When I called to ask my "doctor" what to do about the severe anxiety, I heard him rifling through some books, and then he responded that
"hydrocortisone does not cause anxiety, but it can cause psychosis." As for the cardiac arrhythmia, he didn't think it had anything to do with the HC and recommended I
"go see a cardiologist." In other words, he was clueless about what was going on with me, and useless at helping me remedy the crisis I was in.
It took me 6 weeks of potent herbal therapy (4-6 capsules of Holy Basil every hour, and as much magnesium as I could handle), along with acupuncture treatments every other day, to begin to get on top of the HELLISH ANXIETY and the cardiac arrhythmia that was caused by the HC. It took me 4 months before I could get out of bed.
Prior to my "treatment" with Holtorf Medical, I had been riding my bike 2 miles a day, doing yoga for almost an hour a day, and functioning on a minimal level out in the world. AFTER my "treatment" I was a wreck.
In addition to being harmful to me, they were also
WAY OVERPRICED--$400 per visit (well actually $395

) and not worth a cent. Needless to say I would NOT recommend them.
