If so, was one of those insurers United Healthcare, by chance?

Really appreciate all of your input!

Thanks so much,

Sending this back up in the hope that someone might have information on this that he/she cares to share. [Smile]

No, they won't cover herbals.

Thank you, faithful.

This is what I had thought, but, was still holding onto hope with my positive Babesia results. Was also hoping that Doctor-prescribed Cryptolepis might make a difference (especially if advised by 'the' NY doctor). My stubborn Babs has had me taking the stuff on a few different occasions (periods of time), now. Those charges -alone- can really add up. [dizzy]

I really appreciate your response, faithful!

Hope that you have a good day.

No, as was said above, insurance doesn't cover herbals. But I think that there are cheaper sources for Cryptolepsis than Infuserve. But the other source (Woodland Essence?) has alcohol in it, I am pretty sure.

If you want to get the alcohol out, you can pour hot, almost boiling water over it, and let it sit for a while. That evaporates the alcohol out.
