That was my assumption. I am taking a very intensive course teaching root causes of osteoporosis and it has been a bear and expensive trying to get the testing wanted to understand how my body is doing in variety of critical areas ie , gut health, hormone status, etc . Soo frustrating. The costs of medical therapies , in my opinion , would go down if people could understand , get the treatment needed instead of waiting for the things to go drastically wrong and then just giving you pills to cover up the symptoms. Functional and Western medicine could actually work together to the betterment of the health of America - which right now is abysmal!!! Just my opinion!!!
