So a functional medicine doctor is trying to get my mom to put down thousands of bucks for a heavy metal toxicity test and then treatment that would "depend on the individual" (they didn't specifically say chelation but that's a concern) and I gotta talk her out of this. She's not stupid, not at all, but is desperate to find a way out of her insomnia. She has childhood-onset insomnia that won't let her get a job or even feel normal, a.k.a. non-zombie, five days out of the week and six months ago she was so sleep-deprived we had her at the emergency room, the psych ward, everything we could think of. She's been on every sleep drug on the market and they just stop working for her after what she calls a "honeymoon period".
Does Dr. Ray Peat skype or engage in anything more helpful than email? I really want her to talk to him, like be able to tell her story and establish some trust in him. Or, second best, do any of you have success dealing with insomnia, that would convince her to try Peat-ing instead of throwing her money at this crazy a-hole??
