Uh, your endo is a total idiot. Pigs don't have diseases that humans can get like mad cow. In the past, there was a threat of trichinosis, which is a parasite, being transmitted to people through the MEAT. However, that threat has been fairly well eliminated with the wormers we use on hogs now and the way hogs are raised now. It's just not a worry that people will get some strange illness from hogs.

Do you HAVE to see an endo? Can you run away from him and never look back? If it were me, I'd find a different doctor rather than have one tell me I was harming my children.

My daughter's endo gave me the same garbage about taking " pig " hormones, with

some

dubious reference as to it being unsanitary. I just smiled and said, " Yeah, but

it's perfectly

okay for you guys to write out scripts day after day for BC made from horse

piss, right? "

The look on his face was priceless.

I have the same problem with my daughter's endo. She also sees a nutritionist

though

and I am able to get any kind of testing I need through him. My daughter is 9

and

unfortunately I am stuck with her endo for the next couple of years due to her

Type 1

status, but when she turns 12, my doc will take her as a patient in her family

practice. I'm

actually getting along better with my daughter's endo now. Let's just say we

came to an

understanding that he and I are not going to agree on certain issues. It's also

helped that

I've been proven right a couple of times in how I've chosen to treat my

daughter. It's hard

to argue with empirical proof, especially when it corresponds to testing.

Do Nutritionists typically do blood tests? I haven't gone this route yet, but

would like to find

someone to test ferritin, B12, Zinc, etc.

Thanks so much.

Not sure, my nutritionist is also a doc (chiro) so that helps.
