I have the results somewhere. I went to the highest testable result is all I remember. I have battled dealing with skeptics for a long long time. I even start talking about diets of any kind at my SIL's house (at Christmas was telling my niece about the blood type diet cause she asked) and she just flat out says (no questions...no effort to know or understand whatsoever) "well I don't believe it...." I use to work in a Doctors office which was alternative back in the early 80s. I then ended up working at a medical clinic and one of the Doctors I really liked knocked using herbs. He even wrote papers on it. Of course being a Doctor some people are going to listen to him. Not sure why he feels so strong.... He was a good man. I had a neighbor friend I went to church with, too, who's husband was a dentist and even in our Bishopric. He poopooed it when I found out I was poisoned. Now he's an oral surgeon. I think in his case and other's, sometimes people just don't want to believe such a thing and believe the "establishment." (The ADA). I tried to tell my BIL about kidney cleanses about 15 years ago when we were at their house and he had a kidney stone. He was popping percocet cause he was in so much pain.... He told me he didn't believe in that stuff and listened to the Doctors... (And THAT was serving him well!!!) I've seen so much of that crap in my life. I don't mean this arrogantly, but its hard when you know you're right and people are too stubborn (or stupid??) to believe you. So many just go along with the status quo like sheep...My husband after all these years (and having his own doubts..) tells me now I'm always ahead of my time. Its on the news now matter of factly. I told one Dr. about my test, though, and he ordered a blood test to check for mercury to "verify" for himself. (Of course it didn't come back pos. cause I wasn't chelating). I thought about chelating then and trying again just to prove it to him but decided to drop it. I know I got him thinking. We had respect for each other. Another Dr. was an osteopath and friend. We went to church with both these guys. I left Andy's book on his desk for him to look at cause I thought he was open minded but he wouldn't look in it after he noted all the diseases this can cause on the front cover. He didn't believe it nor would he even look into it. Here I'm naively thinking he could make a difference in his position. Wow. That was an eye opener. This guy infuriated me by the time we left AK. I got my records to take with me and he'd put in there I was medically non-compliant. What really happened was that he had me on toxic dosages of Armour Thyroid cause he didn't know what he was doing and then told me I was manic. I told him I was on too high a dose and he raised it... I went behind his back while he was on leave (he was my PCP) to an internist who told me NOT to go to him for my thyroid - that he would see me. Now I'm on half the dosage this other guy had me on. I was bouncing off the walls. He did not want to be told HE was wrong but HE was taking my life in his hands and hurting me! When I refused his DX of me he pulled rank and said I was medically non-compliant. He just didn't like that I made him look bad in front of his "colleagues." Now he's retired and growing fat on the checks the drug company give him for the drugs he pushes. I love the other Dr. still. I have no respect for this guy, though. (My faith or not). He also got fresh with me while twisting me up like a pretzel once for one of his "adjustments." He was a sick man... Sorry....got me going there : ) I don't give my trust over easily any more, though. But back to the point, there will be naysayers. I've just learned to keep my mouth shut anymore which is kind of sad. People don't get it till it affects them personally as a rule.
