seeking provider in Melbourne, Australia

[cyberdog]

Hi, I'm a 27-year old male from Melbourne, Australia who is seeking a GP familiar with a PANDAS/abx-protocol ..

 

I realize I'm a little old, but my primary motivation is to try an antibiotic for severe, treatment-resistant OCD, and I'm having tremendous difficulty convincing general practitioners to try this approach.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

We see a Biomed dr for DS who is now 19 and doing really well. We are in Melbourne too. The Biomeds do tend to do quite a bit of testing (best to find a medical dr who can order tests which will be covered by medicare, though not all are! (By the way - not all practitioners with Dr in front of their name are medical doctors.) However, targetted testing is most worthwhile. Ask for copies of the resuts and keep them in a folder. For us, treatment saw slow but steady improvement and life is just peachy for DS right now. So worthwhile!.

You can find Biomed practitioner lists by state on the websites for the following organisations - MINDD Foundation and Walsh Institute/Biobalance. These organisations bring medical practitioners to Australia to train our practitioners in biomedical protocols which have evolved from amazing work done in the Autism community. You do not have to be on the spectrum to see a Biomed dr...so much of what they've learned applies to other conditions too. Our Biomed doctor is quite prepared to prescribe antibiotics among his treatments. Contact me by PM if you would like to talk further.

I was just searching the web and came across this fantastic site. It is in Australia but I have no idea how close it may be to Melbourne. It looks like they have a very comprehensive approach with PANDAS
