Al Pater's Mom's lab tests

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Mom had been feeling down physically as of late and had a visit with the more

throrough doctor replacing her regular laisez faire doctor. The below are the

results and an analysis.

13 June 2005 lab tests for Mom are below.

She was diagnosed, based on the urine tests that were done upon her suggesting

they

be done, showed that she again had a bladder infection. She got an antibiotic.

Her low vitamin B12 was a surprise. She eats an omnivore ad lib diet. Looking

at

the vitamin B12 levels in foods that she eats, she eats less than the RDA,

whereas

my pilchards ~ herring give me more than the RDA, which is consistent with my

lab

tests.

She weighs 133-134 pounds first thing in the morning wearing her clothes. She

used

to be obese in her 40s-50s.
