Thanks for the quick reply. After I did more digging on Google, I saw Dr. Holtorf's website too and I am planning on calling and making an appointment. When is your appointment? His office sounds what I was looking for in the Bay Area, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent, is there?
I'll check out immunesupport.com too. I assumed Holtorf was expensive, which is not good but what can you do? Were there any other negative comments other than that? Thanks again and hope your appointment with him goes well!

HI Earl,
I do not have direct experience with the 'Fibro & Fatigue
Centers'...but I do have an appt. w/Dr Holtolf at his medical
clinic...his site is www.hormoneandlonge vitycenter. com/hormonedocto r/
I don't know if I will keep it as I have read pro's and con's of his
care, office and mostly it's expensive. So this may or may not be
an issue for you. He books 4 mths out, his office contact was very
professional and encouraging when I spoke with her.
I researched his name on www.immunesupport. com (Rich Carson's
ProHealth site) to see what people's experiences were on the message
boards for CFIDS/FM. He's very current,obviously ,in integrative
medicine for treatment.
It is my understanding that he is no longer affliated with Fibro &
Fatigue...Holtolf Medical Clinic is his own now and yes, I have read
he is responsible for writing protocols for the FFC's...and Dr.
Teitelbaum is more the head of the centers...
Anyway...If you don't already have the above sites, hopefully they
will serve as some reference for you. Good Luck and let us know
about your experience if you do visit the Holtorf Clinic in Torrance
or FFC in other area.
