Thank you for this. I'm peripherally aware of all the "other" permutations and possibilities like heavy metals, parasites, SBIO, low stomach acid, etc. I don't even know where to begin with all of it, to be honest, but I hear what you're saying about not casually closing doors or discounting anything that may be connected to the cause of our dis-ease. Testing for some of these things is 1) hard to get an MD to agree to, and 2) tough to do privately in Canada because the labs don't exist. There are a few but the level or granularity of testing is not often there. Actually item 3 on the list of impediments is $$$... ;)
Will check out the other forums, for sure
Thank you for this overall guidance as I begin this long process.
