Re: Mold- My HLA DR interpretation

[Guest guest]

Dr. Shoemaker is brilliant, but that " Rosetta Stone " is a headache, isn't it? I

think I recall

that Shoemaker will interpret your test results for $35 or something like that.

Contact him

through the www.moldwarriors.com website; they will respond.

Simpler than trying to interpret it yourself, or worse, having someone clueless

doctor try.

Go to the expert.

My

above at

beach.

There are a few things you can do. I had my genetics done with

LabCorp and they offered to have one of their doctors talk to my

physician to interpret the results. Dr. Shoemaker will also speak to

your physician. My doctor wasn't interested so I sent the results of

the tests I had done to Dr. Shoemaker and he replied with a letter

(hard to read his writing) with his interpretation. At the time this

cost was $50.00. The information on doing this is on his website. He

cannot diagnose nor treat unless you see him but, you can get the

genetic numbers and what they mean.

My brain couldn't wrap itself around his explanation in the back

of the book.
