When I say that you have to listen to this broadcast of the Health Matters Show, I really mean it. Join me in welcoming Dr. Freida Eng, a physician working in the trenches of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome- every day, all day!
I began interviewing Dr. Eng with the intention of learning more about the problems that her Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients and many of you are having with the "step therapy" program strategy being imposed by the big insurance companies. (They make it tough for some people to get the drug therapy that they want and their doctor orders.)
But... we not only talked about that issue, but so much more! Everything from the basic protocol implemented at the Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Centers-- to hormones-- to Thyroid problems-- to vitamins! Yes, we covered a lot in this 31 minute 40 second broadcast. Don't miss it. If you do, click on the download button and save it to your computer or I-pod so that you can listen to it anytime. As a matter of fact, you'll want a copy of this one to keep! It's packed full if valuable information. (Hint: Be sure to share this broadcast with a friend.)

Dr Eng's points were well spoken. Insurance Companies are not Doctors! How can they dictate what medicines patients can have? Subjecting someone who is already ill to step therapies or fail first regiemes before allowing them to obtain what their doctor prescribes is unconscionable. When state of the art medicines are available and well matched for a fibro patient or for any patient, let everyone have the access they need and deserve.
Also -- the pharma industry is great in helping those in need get the medicines they want. THe Partnership for Prescription Assistance is a great place to start. go to the website www.pparx.org/ -
