Physicians who treat Blastocystis 'hominis' infection

Blastocystis infection is commonly treated in all countries by many physicians.  However, medical culture varies, and in some parts of the world it may be more difficult to find a physician to treat the infection.  This is especially true in Canada, the Northeast states in the United States, and the United Kingdom.  Additionally, if first-line treatment fails, some doctors may be reluctant to prescribe other drugs to treat the infection.

The list of physicians below is taken from e-mail testimonials provided by patients to BRF, and from studies in peer reviewed medical journals. 

The advantage in using such a physician is that they have previous experience treating difficult cases, and the patient does not have to pay for visits to discuss the general issue of pathogenicity.

If you are a physician and would like to be added or removed from this list, please contact BRF.
