Lotus, I contacted Dr. Kokayi’s office via email yesterday, and am waiting for their response. My son went to his doctor yesterday and told him of his wishes to cut down on the meds. You can guess the doctor’s answer…
I was talking to one of my friends today who takes about 8 medications a day. He has gained over 40 pounds since being on them, and has now been getting pains in his legs. He is also interested in how we make out with Dr. Kokayi.
Keith, We can’t thank you enough for recommending us to him.
Your friend shouldn’t worry about those pains in his legs — they have a new drug for that! Let me guess, he’s taking one of the statins. So with all that weight gain, does he have type 2 diabetes yet? I really hope your son is able to make some positive changes with Dr. Kokayi. From what I’ve read about him, he seems like the best bet.

Alfred, You may want to call the office as well I have not used e mail to make appointments.
Will do, Keith.
Maravilla, You’re right again. Lipitor.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad how they’ve managed to make people’s idiosyncrasies and quirks such as shaking your leg now into an illness (restless leg syndrome) that needs to be treated with meds that then may really make someone ill. Af few months ago I heard a commercial that made me want to jump thru the TV screen when they said that high blood pressure was causing an epidemic of impotence in men. Well, they forgot to mention the “middleman” causing the impotence wasn’t being hypertensive, but the medications prescribed to treat the high blood pressure! What an ommission–I couldn’t believe this was allowed to air! Something must have happened later because I haven’t seen the commercial again, but it’s disgraceful that such misleading information was allowed to air at all.
Alfred, I hope your son gets to see Dr. Kokayi soon so he can figure out how your son’s meds should be dealt with because I assure you that he will feel much better once he’s off of them, but this should only happen under a doctor’s care and with the appropriate alternative care because asthma is nothing to play with and neither is going on or off of some of those medications he’s probably on.
