I lost my dinner when I saw it for the first time.  I am not on any herbs from Matia yet, only supplements so I have yet to buy it. I buy my probitocs from I herb.  I asked Matia about the shipping costs in my appoitment and she said she has no idea, that all that admin stuff is handled by the people working at the desk, they choose that stuff and run it, but I do not get why they do not use the post office, it is way cheaper.  I guess maybe because the post office does not pick up from the office??? I really don't know.  Other people have said you can buy in bulk so you do not have to pay shipping as often, but also people have said not to do that at the beginning because she changed your herbs so often. So, I really have no adice but feel your pain, as we are not upper class at this point in our lives either.  ALL the extra goes to treatment, but I look at this as an investment.  It motivated me all the more to stick to the diet.

Yes, this is one of those things about this treatment.  It requires quite a financial commitment.  I've been on oil of oregano for a while, and the brand that works is quite expensive, and I go through a bottle so fast.  Yesterday I spent $62 on a 1 oz. bottle of it.  Even though it's MORE expensive, I usually order a couple or several bottles of whatever I'm ordering.  Even if I go off of it right after that, Matia will usually prescribe it again at a later time.  For example, right now I have ALOT of SF722, but that's OK b/c it's something that I go on and off, mostly on.  Also, sometimes before I place an order, I ask Matia if there is anything else she thinks I might be taking in the future.  Also, that way I have different things on hand, so if I'm having difficulties with symptoms, she has a lot more to choose from in terms of what I've got right here and can start right away. I'm glad we can sympathize with each other on this –– Our finances haven't been great and one thing I can point to that has been draining is this treatment.  But I don't feel like I have any other options that work.  I know I need to keep investing and do whatever it takes to pay for treatment. 

• I did contact her today to see if there was anyway there could be added shipping options besides fedx. I don't know what she is going to say

Try Amazon.com or Vitamin shoppe. I called the clinic for Eclectic Institute for goldenseal and Lynn said it was $30.00 without shipping. I paid $21.00 when I was there in person. Amazon had the exact same thing for $20.00 including shipping. Amazon or Vitamin Shoppe may not carry everything you need but what they do have will help in savings.

Have you asked if it is possible for herbs to ship via UPS?  BoMa Med would sell more products if they had regular shipping charges.  FedEx prices are pretty high.
