Well, I suppose...I guess that means that those of us without

a doctor who knows what to do for us are outta luck then.

Hi ,

Pat here,

Lack of good medical care, of the right doctor,

is a Big problem. That's where groups like this

help to fill a big need.

One advantage of ZRT Labs

http://www.salivatest.com/

is testing without a doctor. So in some ways we

can get around the Doctor part. Going without

proper testing is Very hard. There are just too

many variables. Too many symptoms can come

from multiple sources.

I've dealt with hormones for 25+ years. Even my

own hormones I test rather than guesstimate.

Sadly, it is a Big problem on many levels. Just

having a Doctor is no guarantee of good advice.

But just stop to consider for a moment: If someone

looking for hormone replacement ends up mistakenly

taking levels beyond pregnancy. If those levels

generate the range and kinds of symptoms seen on

this site. Isn't chaecking with a Doctor part of a

reasonable process?

That said, many people in this country don't have

access to adequate medical care in a structure

they can afford.

Back to me. How much can I know of someone reading

these posts? Do you think it is reasonable for me to

give specific, individual advice to someone I don't

know who has been a victim of a misguided experiment

that generates the kinds of symptoms seen in RL?

Would that help or make a bad situation worse?

That is a honest question, not a rhetorical one. If you

have suggestions for how you think I can help, I'm open.

Right now I'm limited because I was writing a series of

Posts about Testing. I thought taking time and doing it

right was important. But my computer is in repair and

I have limited access to another. And my Drafts are in

the repair shop! Safe, but beyond reach, for now.

But I'm pretty open to suggestions and plain old brain-

storming. I read today that ZRT takes a month! That's

not ok, if true. I am used to a lab with a 5 day turn-

around. In short we need to do better ... for all.

Sorry. I am painfully aware that there is not always a

good or adequate answer.

All the best,

Pat
