FAQ/Sublingual Drops
You said most insurances pay for the antigen. I assume you mean sublingual drops. Does that include Medicare and BCBS?

Dr Roby Answers: Blue Cross and Medicare do not pay for sublingual drops. They only pay for traditional injections. For those patients we prepare standard injection antigen and instruct them in self-administration.
If the drops block the Progesterone, will I still have my period?

Dr Roby Answers:
it blocks the side effects, not the physiological effects. It doesn't ordinarily affect periods but it can make them more regular and less uncomfortable.

Question:
Where can one obtain the progesterone sublingual drops? I have many of the symptoms and would like to try taking it. Thanks.
Dr. Roby Answers:
I prepare and sell the drops. They are covered by most insurance plans, by the way. Also, if your Doctor would like to know how to prepare them and use them, there is a pysicians' section on my web wite. There is no charge to physicians for this information.
There are more Docs using this everyday. Amazingly effective for a wide range of symptoms and no side effects.
A few questions about progesterone after visit
Wednesday, August 14, 2002
Question:
Hello Dr. Roby. I made it home to Ohio. I wanted to let you know how glad I am that I came to see you. My mom and I were both very impressed with everything that we experienced and saw. Your staff is wonderful...professional, polite, sympathetic, funny and on and on. After several years of feeling sick and visiting several allergists in the Cleveland area, I finally have hope. For the first time I feel like this is something I'm going to conquer. It was worth the trip to Texas 100 times over. I know that nothing is a quick fix, but I am committed to everything we discussed and finally have hope that my allergies are controllable. After looking over the material several times I have a few questions:
1. When do I take the progesterone. The literature says 2-3 times a day as needed. Does this mean when I'm feeling sinus pressure, when I've hit a brick wall and am tired, when I'm having asthma symptoms, all of the above?
2. I currently carry an epinepherine shop with me at all times. Is this something I should continue to do? Is it necessary?
3. I was given a new inhaler at your office..albuteral. Should I continue to use this and throw out my old inhaler..maxair auto-haler? Should I call for more albuterol when this one is gone?
4. I'm currently taking singulair before bed at night. Should I discontinue this?
5. I'm a little confused about the food families. If I'm allergic to one or two foods in a family, does that mean I should steer away from everything in that family? For example, the test showed that I'm allergic to broccoli, which is a pretty large food family. However, I was not allergic to cauliflower or horseradish. Also, I showed up allergic to mellon. Squash is in that family. Does that mean I should steer away from that as well?
6. I'm a little worried that with all of the diet restrictions these allergies cause it will be difficult to eat a balanced diet. Should I consider seeing a nutritionist?
Thanks again for everything. I look forward to hearing from you. Please pass on to your staff how wonderful I thought they were.
Dr. Roby Answers:
You should take the new progesterone today. use it as often as you need to. there is nothing in it that adds hormone, it simpoly "blocks" your own hormone...progesterone.
Yes, use the albuterol if it helps. You don't need the maxaire...it is a steroid and your chest tightness is NOT an inflammatory process therefore steroid won't help. It is a stress-related problem (adrenalin) and steroids only complicate it by giving you more candida.
No Maxaire.
Stop the Singulaire. Same reasoning as previous para.
It might be a good idea to see a nutritionist. A couple of good books are "Five Day Allergy Relief Diet" and "Food Intolerance" (l989?) by Robert Buist, MD. Try Amazon for copies as both are out of print. I got Buist's from Amazon last week.
Let me know if you have questions...you will.
How long before the antigens that I'm taking take hold and help??

Dr Roby Answers: They help right away. If you cannot tell any difference when you use them, move up to the next dose each time until you can tell a difference within 1 to 10 minutes after using the drops.
