I wish desperately that I had gone to California and dealt directly with him. I also feel at this point that I would need the rEEG done again, because I really don't believe the Kava was out of my system, even though I followed their guidlines. I tried to express this to someone at CNS response but they just pooh-poohed it and never passed the information on to Dr. Emery. I believe because Kava is an herb they don't take it seriously. It affected me dramatically. I even had sexual side effects from it and the last week I took it I was an absolute zombie, which didn't clear for several days beyond the 48 hours they told me to stop taking it.

I don't think they should refer people out if they are going to get sub standard care. Certainly if I knew the difference between the treatment you received and that I received I would have gotten on a plane to California without question. I wasn't that impressed with how CNS response handled all this.

I think he should certainly know that if I had known the level of care I got would be so far below what you got I would not have hesitated in going to California. No one at CNS response ever indicated this would be the case. I also don't know if he would let me redo the test due to the Kava issue. If he wouldn't, there isn't much point anyway.

I'm also surprised that they didn't take the Kava issue more seriously. I was explicitly told that herbs and supplements could throw the test off. I wasn't even supposed to take vitamins, and especially not fish oil, because they could compromise the scans.

I am going to tell Dr. Emory about your case the next time I see him. Since CNS Response is his company I'm sure he'd be concerned that things weren't handled well with you. I really think you should write a letter though so that you have all of your issues stated and see if he offers anything to help you out. If anything, I would think that he might reinterpret the results taking the Kava into account the way he did for the doxepin.

Is California a long flight from where you are?
