Major COVID Spike Protein Announcement
We Now Have a Sars-CoV2 Spike Protein Test
We have been on the forefront of treating COVID related illness and conditions including Long COVID and many others. But up until now, we were never able to measure the quantity of the Spoke Protein in the body from COVID or from the Vaccine. NOW WE CAN. This is NOT a PCR test. Millar Functional Medicine has been selected to be one of the few clinics in the US that can test for COVID Spike Protein.
Europe has been working on this COVID Spike Protein test problem for several years without the political pressures in the US. They now have a blood test for the quantity of Sars-CoV2 Spike Protein from COVID or from the Vaccine. We draw your blood and overnight the test to the lab in Italy.
Once your results are back, (about 4 weeks) we can now treat your Spike Protein with a product used world-wide to lower the Sars-CoV2 Spike Protein. Twenty Seven countries are now onboard using this product which contains no nattokinase. This product was even discussed on the YouTube channel Dr. Been as a treatment option.
What is Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is a personalized systems approach where the Doctor looks at the whole body as one, naturally. The Functional Medicine Doctor gets to the "Root Cause" of your problem not just the symptoms; and, then treats that "Root Cause." It incorporates the use of sophisticated testing from traditional and functional laboratories to aid in finding that "Root Cause." By finding and treating the "Root Cause" we get "Life Changing Results" for our patients. Are you ready to really figure out what's causing your problems and treat that cause? Read on...
Here is the way we describe Functional Medicine. Let's say you have "water on the floor." You try to treat it yourself and clean it up. When that doesn't work you go to the doctor and tell him you have "water on the floor." He ask you a couple of questions, grunts and says, "Yep., You've got water on the floor." He then writes you a prescription for a mop and tells you to "go to the pharmacy each month and refill your mop and just keep mopping....just keep mopping." After mopping and mopping and mopping you finally get tired of mopping and you say to yourself, "This is not working. I need to try something different" That's when you come to us. We're going to work to get to the "Root Cause" of your water on the floor. We're going to look at the roof, and at the pipes in the walls, and the windows, and eventually we find a sink overflowing in the corner. We turn off the water and the floor dries up and you get to quit mopping.
So the question is ... "Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired? Are you tired of mopping your floor?"

Finally comes Phase 3- The Report of Findings visit. We charge a flat fee of $150 for the Report of Findings no matter how long it takes.
We know you want, NO SUPRISES. At this visit the Doctor goes over what we found in our intake visits. We then make recommendations for your care at Millar Functional Medicine going forward.
We give you a written report of: 1) What we found, 2) What test are needed and their estimated cost. 3) What treatment we recommend and the estimated cost of treatment. 4) What homeopathic remedies, nutraceuticals, Injections, IV's we recommend and their estimated cost. 5) What we think supplements will cost.
We get your full approval before we start anything. If you chose to go forward with treatment, as most do, then we start treatment and schedule future treatment appointments.
Phase 4 - Treatment Plan
Once we have your approval to go forward with treatment, now you have two choices. You can pay for visits one at a time based on the doctor's hourly rate OR you can purchase a package at a substantial savings.

Once we have your approval to go forward with treatment, now you have two choices. You can pay for visits one at a time based on the doctor's hourly rate OR you can purchase a package at a substantial savings.
So how do we get paid. Our Doctors are just like other professionals, lawyers or accountants. We charge an hourly rate. So if you have a 30 min appointment then you pay for 30 min of time. Just like lawyers or accountants we also charge for time we spend on your case when your not there or phone calls.
However if you purchase a package then its all included. Your package covers face to face meetings, phone calls, and time we spend on your case when your not there.
Our Business Manger will go over payment options and set up a payment plan if needed.
Feeling Overwhelmed
It is often normal to feel a little overwhelmed by this process. After all you've been treated with "sick care" all your life; and, now you're trying something new, "health care and wellness".
For years you went to the doctor and he spent 10 minutes with you (if that) and you had little to no say or input into your treatment. You basicall
It is often normal to feel a little overwhelmed by this process. After all you've been treated with "sick care" all your life; and, now you're trying something new, "health care and wellness".
For years you went to the doctor and he spent 10 minutes with you (if that) and you had little to no say or input into your treatment. You basically had to take what the doctor gave you without real discussion.
We're different. That's why our normal appointments can run from 20 min to 1 hour, with the regular follow up appointment being 30 min. We love questions and discussion about your health and our test and treatments.
We also need a different level of communication. Your treatment is a partnership between you and your functional medicine doctor. We love texting, emailing and phoning patients. We often hear patients say, "I should have done this years ago."
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Functional Medicine
The Good
"The Good" is that functional medicine really works. If it didn't patients wouldn't pay for it. We get to the "Root Cause" of your problems and treat that "Root Cause" to the limits of your body.
The Bad
"The Bad" is that insurance does not cover functional medicine for the most part. There may be some test like blood or urine test that may be covered. If you have an HSA, FSA, or HRA or other employer pre-tax account it may cover your treatment.
The Ugly
The Ugly
"The Ugly" is you have to pay out of your pocket for care. And we get it. Since you're paying out of pocket we have to deliver on the promise to get to your 'Root Cause" and help you fix your problem.
