I don't know what to do! I'm just crying here, all the time.
I'm Swedish and live in Sweden and I have been reading all your post here, and the different success stories, and I decided that I needed to go see Matia.
I have just been on the phone with customs here in Sweden, and it does not look good. We have such strict rules on what is allowed to be sent into this country.
The want full documentation of the herbs to be able to allow them in, and from what I know, Matias herbs and bottles does not have any documentations?!
What should I do?! I'm thinking about perhaps calling Dr.B office and talk to them a bit more.
Is there no other patients of hers in other countries, besides UK and the US?!?!?!
There are other Chinease Medicin centers here in Sweden. Should I turn to them? they are ofcourse not specialists on exactly these types of symptoms... but maybe I should give it a try? Perhaps they can help me anyway!
Isn't chinease medicin the same, who ever is the practioner?
Hope you can give me some good advice. I know it is a tough question!
Swedish treatment
Hi Kristina,
I'm sorry that you're so stressed right now. I would call Dr. B's office and ask them if they know of a way for you to receive shipments? While it is true that some of the things that she uses comes directly from her - a good part of what she uses are ordered from other companies, that ship directly to you- companies that may very well provide to Sweden.
Here's the thing - even if you can't get things directly from her, it may not be the end of your treatment with her. Although, I can't promise that. What I can tell you, is that due to my own medical history, of estrogen positive breast cancer (totally well now) some of the things that she uses I wasn't comfortable with. She was able to swap those items out with alternatives. Those alternatives happened to be things that I ordered directly from the manufacturer.
All my best,
I've been in treatment 11
I've been in treatment 11 months and I have never had to use any of her own herbs. I buy all mine on-line at various websites.
Hi Kristina
Hi Kristina,
DLFox is right... I only order one herb from Dr. B, and the rest I order online from different websites. And she probably can give you alternatives. You should call the office because not all of her patients use this website. The office may know if there are other patients that might be in Sweden. You never know, give it a try.
Also there are other chinese medicine dr.s/herbalists but Matia spcializes in treatment of gastroenterological and urogenital disorders, with an emphasis on Interstitial Cystitis and its associated conditions (such as vulvadynia, IBS, and fibromyalgia). So she knows what we can and can't handle. She is very good and she has got my pain under control. Good Luck!

If you search my first post- there was a reply from someone in Holland.
Hang in there! Don't assume the worst. ((((hug))))
Thanks
Hi and thank you!
I have been emailing the office and even talked to them. They do documentation! And now I will just keep my fingers crossed that it all will work out bc I have my first appointment booked and will fly to L.A all the way from Sweden.
Thanks guys for all your great support!
