Dr. Amy Nett: I think Chris has been able to order the NUNM SIBO breath test. I believe acupuncturists can. I don’t know if you contacted NUNM, and they said that “were not able to,” and there are things that you need a physician’s license. It can often be a good idea to try to work with a physician whether an MD, DO, a naturopath, but whoever has sort of the credentials that you need to be able to order the tests, supplements, medications, or whatever it is to see if you can sort of find a partnership.
I think that that’s one of the reasons that Chris was drawn to starting CCFM. There were multiple reasons, but one of those was you know he was able to join up with Dr. Sunjya Schweig, the co-founder of CCFM, and then I was working with him, so he was easily able to refer his patients to me if they needed a prescription or something that required a physician’s credentials. If you can find an MD, someone like that to sort of pair up with who can just help you out when you do need to order something like that, that’s probably the best way to look into it.
