Snobetty- I am so happy you have found this doctor. He seems to be on the ball in trying to find the cause of the AF and not just treating symptoms.
I think chronic infections are a huge issue that many would rather not deal with. I am currently in Mexico at a clinic receiving treatments for chronic infections/lyme. The supplementation of vitamins and minerals, changing diet, reducing stress, removing Amalgams are all beneficial but will not get rid of a chronic infection.
Your doctor understands fow multi-faceted AF is and is approaching it from many different angles.
Good for you. I hope he restores your health quickly and you can soon enjoy good health.
