I know how you feel - my first appt with this current naturopath and it was

$100 for inital 1 hour consult
$90 for herbs (about 5-6 weeks worth)
$120 for other supplements
then
$160 for salivary hormone testing that she recommended I do (a traditional GP has since told me that they are a waste of time - not sure who I believe)

So that was $470!

Then 5 weeks later, another consult $90, more herbs $90, more supplements $80 = $260 more!!!

Ridiculous!!

Good luck with the new APer - I think I really am hooked on it
