HELP

The phone rang and a very frail voice said "happy belated birthday" in a whisper. Whoah, my friend sounded OLD. We're not old, but yet the voice on the other end sounded like it. They missed my birthday (we talk twice a year) They were ill and I got the lowdown. Doctors said there was nothing wrong, been to 3 or 4 (I'm not even skyping and I could tell something was majorly wrong). Started in July - irregular heart rate, exhaustion, insomnia.... So what happened before July? (These things just don't occur on their own) Nothing,  No what really happened? Dad died - didn't want to bother you. (bad news, my heart sank. Dad was 96, an innovator, embraced life, he was riding horses last year. I adored my friend's parents, Another great generation laid to rest) and before that? I was taking care of him and my Mom. Well that explained a lot -  total burnout mentally and physically. Grief plus exhaustion. No reserve. 

I said I could help - this is my field of medicine, an off the wall detective-like type of medicine that looks for a chain of events cause, and everything made sense. I wrote up a plan and emailed it off. 2 seconds after the email the phone rang. My friend is a PhD Chemical Engineer who analyses everything. I can't do it because I've read ......... I get a lot of that from my patients. yes I am from Mars and no, you have not seen anything like this approach, but I know what I am doing, so just try it. Well I can use this and this instead (GOD, my patients do that and it drives me crazy when they substitute and make up their own plan - even after I give them details and specifics, they come in with totally different nutrients) I feel like asking "so how's that working for you?" (but sarcasm never gets one very far) Usually it's not. They tell me that my suggestions are not effective and then I kindly point out that they are not doing ANYTHING that I suggested but have created their own program. (have to work on my assertiveness I guess, I am surprised that I am not bald from pulling out my hair). The objections were over-ruled. the body is an exquisite creation that responds to TLC and I am sure that my friend will improve - physically. The emotional hit will take a bit longer to heal though.

I also ordered functional testing from Metametrix  to get even better results, but while we were waiting for the tests, we could begin a restoration program. The nice thing about nutrients is that there are few, if any, adverse effects and if you give the body what it needs, it does what it was meant to do.
