hello roz;
I am interested if you or anyone has seen an alternative Dr, esp. for infection instead of drugs. and is there a blood test for getting results of sputum faster? I keep hearing there is, but have no info on it. I would think Jewish center in Denver might have more info on this. and also, I saw it mentioned on here once -- does anyone take nitrous oxide and what exactly does it do
thanks gg

@akron3 Hello, not roz here, but there is a new, faster blood test being TESTED in a few clinical trials right now. It is called CRISPR, is that what you are hearing about?
If I remember correctly, the trials are due to end later this year, then the results will be analyzed, and approvals requested if warranted. It does sound promising at this point so - stay tuned for further updates.
Nitrous oxide is way outside my experience, sorry.
