Complaint Review: STACEY J. SIEVERS A.P. P.A. - St. Petersburg Florida

I first went to Stacy J. SIEVERS, A.P., P.A. (head of the INTEGRATIVE HEALING ARTS MEDICAL CENTER) because of heavy metal poisoning (lead), severe allergies (caused by the lead poisoning), and severe fatigue and brain fog (also caused by lead poisoning). Dr. Sievers assured me that she could deal with these problems. She gave me what she called "drainage formulas" to detoxify my body. I kept asking her if this treatment can remove lead and she assured me it could. She also gave me Bioset treatments which are supposed to cure allergies. She informed me that I needed more than one bioset treatment for each allergy that I had because the treatments only seemed to relieve my allergies for a day or two. She said if I got enough bioset treatments, then they would "stick", and my allergies would probably go away.

I asked her the whole time about the fact that lead can cause the body to develop allergies (a medical fact) . She assured me that the "drainage formulas" are for getting rid of the lead, but I still needed the Bioset treatments to get rid of my allergies. I drove 3 hours to get to her office for each visit (6 hours there and back). I even slept in my car overnight each time so I could get another treatment the next day. After dozens of her treatments and $5500 later, I was no better off at all. I threatened to take her to court and I asked for $500 back which she did give me. At that time I would have asked for it all back but I had no proof that I indeed had lead posioning. I just suspected I had it because of past exposure to lead and because I had the symptoms of lead poisoning.

This was about 3 years ago. This wiped me out financially and left me in a bad place. I was still sick as hell and could not work. I had to live in a 10 X 20 wooden uninsulated shed for a couple years. I finally begged and scraped up enough money to go to another doctor and his test showed that I was right all along. I have HUGE amounts of lead in my body. He said I have more lead in my body than anyone he has ever seen. I have since been chelating (removing lead) with the drugs edta and dmsa and my allergies and fatigue and brain fog are gone. I feel like a new man. The recent lead test shows that Dr. Sievers "drainage formulas" and other hocus pocus did not remove my lead even after months of treatment. All they did was drain my wallet. Now that I have positive proof that I really did have lead posioning, I want all my money back that Dr. Sievers took from me!

She does not have the training or correct medical license to treat lead poisoning. She had no right telling me she could treat such a problem.

I believe Dr. Sievers takes advantage of sick people who are desperate to get better. She gives them false hope. She kept on assuring me she could fix my health problems even though she is not qualified to treat my condition. She ripped me off for $5000. Now that I have my health back and am strong, I have the energy to fight. I want my $5000 back ,Dr. Stacy J. Sievers or I'll see you in court. I will not stop until justice is served one way or another.
