I found Dr. Barkins on the internet. I was looking for someone that did holistic health and phone consultations. I’ve had rheumatoid arthritis since childhood and I have it pretty much under control and I also have diabetes. I wanted some recommendations for supplements that would help my blood sugar and general inflammation. I’m not on any medication currently for my arthritis, and I don’t want to take medication. My MD had recommended Methotrexate and I knew I didn’t want to take it since it made me feel terrible when I took it once before. Dr. Barkins was very helpful and her supplement recommendations were easy for me to follow. She also helped me with some diet and lifestyle changes and explained that by following an anti-inflammatory diet this would help my joints. The food recommendations helped tremendously and I don’t have the fatigue and inflammation that I had before. She e-mailed me handouts to follow so that I everything written down. I am glad that I found her and I will do follow-ups with her every now and then.
