I believe we are capable of finding out through research that food, supplements can provide answers to many of our different health issues. Unfortunately, not enough money is made on the other end as pharmaceuticals, so we’ll never see that same effort. It trickles down to medical training. Little research means little learning about food and nutrition for doctor training. The potential for breakthroughs, relief diminished. My GP doctor looks at me like I’m crazy when the topic comes up. He still can’t understand why my B6 was so high.

I recently had a complete blood work up. My doctor said everything looks good. I went through the entire report. I saw that my B12 level was at the extreme level. Previously, my former GP did a DNA test to see if I needed to switch to Methyl B12, which turned out that I needed. The dosage was never brought up. I called my doctor and asked if this was a problem. He said yes, it is dangerous, you should cut your dosage. Duh!
