This question is just out of curiosity.
Some of his stuff seems so strange and exotic to me. If I hadn't known that many people respect him, I would have just shrugged it off and thought it was weird.
Does anybody disagree with him? Do some people think he's crazy? Does the great majority respect him and think he's a genius?

Lots of things in life are strange.
I think he is brilliant and compassionate. I have made significant progress as a result of working with him.
I have the utmost respect for his approaches and continue to incorporate them into my journey.

Personally, I don't believe in his urine therapy or ART, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have something valid to say. I keep an open mind, but I have healthy skeptimism, as well.

At first I thought many of his ideas were strange, but as time has gone on, I've realized that he is quite brilliant and I believe in/respect a lot of what he talks about.
I have learned to keep a very open mind when it comes to treating this complex illness. I think it is important to do so. Thinking outside the box and trying different things seems to have helped many that are not helped with antibiotics alone.

I should also mention that I agree it's good to keep an open mind. In no way would I ever try to "judge" Dr K, and in whatever way I look at it I'll still consider him very gifted just because of all the people he's helped.
I was just curious if most people don't doubt him at all, or if there is some skepticism.

There are certain things that he says/does that I'm a little skeptical of.. I can understand how people would be. A lot of the stuff sounds odd.

If I had the $ I would be very happy to be treated by him.

I have heard him make outrageous statements that can not possibly be true. That doens't mean he doesn't have some good ideas though.
I know he has helped some people and I am glad. IF you have detox problems or are very sensitive to medications, he might be able to help you (though his antiparasite protocol is heavy duty western medicine)
I would not go see him though

Both? it's a strange disease, and I admit I've done some strange things to get well.

The objective answer is, MOST people respect him and think he's a genius. It's almost impossible to get an appointment with him, and it's unheard of to miss or cancel it. I had a friend who recently was too sick to make her appt with him, which she waited MONTHS for, and was going to have to wait months to reschedule, and the clinic staff were shocked and appalled she missed the appt. It was basically, like missing an appointment with God.
I have numerous friends treating with him right now. Personally, yes, the stuff sounds really out there. But I do believe he is a fantastic healer, and I have faith that he is a genius. I've just heard way too many stories about his success rate, his ability to bring back the sickest of the sick, and above all else, his reputation preceeds him.
Many, many LLMDS incorporate Dr. K's protocols into their own treatments, and many use ART. ART is becoming pretty widely accepted. I know several LLMDs who practice it or refer patients for it. I think it is just too widely used now for anyone to think it is hocus pocus.
So yes, brilliant scientist and amazing healer. We should all be so brave and so fortunate to be able to treat under him. I'll see how it goes for my many friends who have just started treating with him; I have five very close friends in the early stages right now.

is art the same thing as bio-energetic testing?
Sure, if I had the money and I lived close to him, I'd go in a heartbeat.

I wish I could believe in the energy testing. It would make diagnosis, treatment and life in general so easy. It just has never worked for me.

Energy testing is very dependent on the practitioner's expertise and neutrality. It can be great or worthless, all depending.
Tracy, can you let us know how your friends do on his protocols? I know it's different for everyone.

When I first joined this site I thought a lot of Dr K's protocols and treatments were hokey pokey.
Most of my negativity towards what I was reading was probably due to the fact that it was ALL way over my head and I didn't want to believe MY case was that complex.
Then in 2009 I read a post by GiGi regarding Dr K and parasites.
So I decided to try some anti-parasitics and see what all the fuss was about.
The rest, as they say, is history
FWIW the verdict is still out on ART testing in my experience. I'm just not sure I'm fit for it. Probably too much a skeptic (though I've met people at the healthfood store I work at who swear by it. Hard not to believe them - just not for me though)

I seem to be doing a lot of things that I would have shrugged off as being nonsense a year ago! I have no experience with ART, but my chiro does do muscle testing with him and has done NAET with my son for food sensitivities and the results have been amazing.
You could have never got me to even consider the NAET thing a year ago. Now...I swear by it.

IMO most doctors know about, understand, are limited by, are educated to think in the way to treat such and such symptoms with such and such medicine.
Very very very few know about, understand, are opened up by, are educated in the understanding of how the body really works, how it really heals, and what it requires (not meds) to regain helath and stay healthy.
Dr. K. is one of the few.
What was strange to me in the beginning of my journey has now become sane.

What's interesting about energy testing is, you can block it being done on you. It may not work for you because of your disbelief. Even though two of my kids think it works for me and my daughter because it's been so evident that it has, they won't allow me to test them. When we've tried, answers are very ambiguous.
They likewise can't test me very well. Two of my kids are great testers, but these two, can't test or be tested.

Yep! Same here. I'm actually changing my career path because of it!
