»Ø¸´£º Re: Seeking advice for my 4.5-year-old son with leukemia

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Thank you so much for those who replied! Yes, we are

seeing Dr. Dan Labriola. We are making some diet

modifications to reduce pro-inflammatory ingredients,

and I have requested a vitD check. Don't know whether

they will do it or not, but it'll be interesting to

see how it is.

Again, thanks a lot!
