Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Jen, I don't know where to start. . . The naturopath didn't tell me exactly what he was testing for. He showed me a graph indicating " normal " with my results laid on top so I could see where I was out of bounds. I did ask him if anyone was " normal " . . . He said " NO " ! Being very acidic was the only place I was way out of bounds. He spent almost four hours just talking to me about lifestyle, diet, sleep patterns, exercise, nutrition, test results, goals, therapies, energy fields, balance, attitude, etc. . . If every medical doctor took as long to know their patient, what a different world this would be! ly, since you already have an appointment with Kenda's ND, I would wait until you see what he recommends. He sounds outstanding! If you click, you'll be able to tell him what's going on, and he will know what to do.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hi Jen, I don’t think we as patients should have to tell a doctor what tests to run, I think they ought to have enough medical knowledge and information about our health history to know what to do. If you have to tell a doc what to do, I’d find another. I have never asked Dr. Leu to perform any test, he has always directed me on what to do. I would feel really uncomfortable having to lead a doctor to get him to figure out what is wrong with me. Kenda thanks so much, I do have an appt with Kendra's ND but I was wondering if I should just see one here locally instead & if so, what tests do I ask for to check my levels of everything etc. When your ND did your tests on your saliva, urine & blood what exactly was he looking for or where they just his general tests? Thanks & oh is there any info anywhere I could print out about what issues/symptoms we face with implants? I guess I'm just confused on what tests to ask for since every ND has his/her own way of naming them.
