Wow, that's alot of $'s - it wasn't Dr Lee in Kew you were seeing? I saw him before I was put on to Bill and yes, the herbs are expensive because they are all powdered. I have started seeing a lady up here in Brissy now who does acupuncture and herbs, but herbs that you have to boil yourself. Even then, I pay $45 for consultation and $50 if I get herbs! Plus it is claimable on health insurance (so is Bill by the way!) Can I ask what type of result you are hoping for? If it is pregnancy - I have sent three friends to Bill who were nearing 40yo and desperately trying to get pregnant. All conceived within 6 months. One of them Bill also gave some tablets (don't think it cost her) and these assisted - but he didn't do this for the other two. I truely believe that because I had seen Bill for about 2 years prior to conceiving (for other well-being stuff), I fell pregnant quite quickly and had a very easy, fuss free pregnancy, birth and recovery. I was 38 at the time. I put it all down to him and I haven't been back to a western doctor since - even for a cold I go and get acupuncture and some traditional herbs and it is gone within days! I know it sounds crazy, but truely somehow and for some reason it works for me! But you have to stick with it because I figure it is working from the inside out, rather than western medicine which fixes the symptoms of a problem. Let me know how you go - it can take a while to get into Bill and they will book three sessions in advance for you.
