I'm looking for a doctor in Vancouver BC that is willing to check my blood every 6 weeks (WBC/ liver etc). Anyone in the area have any recommendations please PM me. Thanks...

I’m thinking you want a GP so you don’t have to pay for a dr visit?

I know a ND but you’d have to pay for the appointment - do you have extended health coverage that would cover a ND visit?

Appointment cost every now and then would be ok, say 2 or 3 per year, but if they wanted me to come in for an appointment to review results each time that would be to costly. I would prefer a GP.

Dr Murakami may know some lyme “supportive” GP’s.
You can call him and ask.. he is very nice and helpful.

Good idea I'll try that.

Who are the ND's that you would recommend?

The ND I went to was Dr. EC in Richmond. Problem with that is he'll want an office visit - maybe not every month...though.

And a short visit will be $80-100? But then the labs will be free, right? Maybe it's worth it.

I didn't think labs from an ND were covered by the provincial health care, are they?

Those were my thoughts - but I’m pretty sure he told me that they are.
I think there were a few labs he had me do at one point and I’m pretty sure they were covered.
