Re: Which supplements to stop before/after surgery?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thank you for those links and info. Seeing the team performing the op

on Monday so will find out about the nitrous oxide etc. I'm not so sure

how to address it all as I'm certain they will not take much notice of

our concerns especially as we have no diagnosis of a mitochodrial

disorder etc and/or anything to prove that he has difficulty with

detoxifying...... except for a chromosome deletion and duplication

which no one seems to have much knowledge of .....ummm I wonder if this

would give us a leg to stand on??!!
