Smells of snake oil to me. May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertensionOn Apr 6, 2012, at 16:10, "lk.barns" <lk.barns@...> wrote:

The supplements referred to are of a grade and strength that cannot be bought OTC - Many Mito patients have their prescribed cocktail produced by compounding pharmacies since the volume/number of even prescription strength supplements are difficult to handle - Further, while many of the components of the cocktail are the same, each prescription varies with the patient. OTC supplements will do little or nothing for mito patients since they are unable to obtain the required levels of supplements - just lots of filler to plump up the horse pills.

Hmm! In the old days when I as growing up when the kidney was removed for say cancer they took out the adrenal and kidney in one fell swoop. So they should have some Adenal path.

Totally agree lk, what is done is done but I will add that we can decide if we want to continue the process to future generations! Ask any breeder of pedigree dogs! Something that may even have been unknown 1 or 2 generations back may now be known and identifyable or in the process of being identified! Let me give you an example. Why was my mothers kidney removed in 1944? Did somebody miss an opportunity 12 years earlier? Was there a problem then and they took to whole kidney instead of just the adrenal? Why did my brother have a kidney transplant and why does his oldest daughter have a kidney problem and are they related? (Those two are related but may not be relevent to my questions IMHO!) Is there an an issue for me and the gene pool that goes on to my next generation and I may share with my living brother and sisters?

My children's developmental specialist wants a neurology consult as she suspects they might be dealing with that. I won't go into my thoughts and feelings about that here, but I know mitochondrial disorders are passed through the maternal dna, and all of a sudden, I'm feeling like a genetic sespool. It's early on, and I know I'm wildly speculating, but has this topic come up for anyone else? My AVS is scheduled for Tuesday, so there's a high probability that I'm anxious and overreacting about everything.
