I really hope it helps. Of course, you just don't really know

what's going on and it's kind of a stab in the dark, but right

now safe stabs in the dark might at least give you a sense of

control. The other thing that might help right now is just

trying to believe in something, like God or the powers of the

universe helping you to keep going until you can get the liver

support. I'm not religious in any usual sense, but I really

believe this helps.

Which pathways were blocked and which was overactive? I'm

guessing the overactive was a phase 1 and the blocked ones

were phase 2 pathways. I know some on this list have had

liver pathway testing and/or would have the knowledge to

suggest ways to address these blockages.

That's right - I remember now you said the only way you can

get a medical benefit is if she signs off on things. That's

a real drag.

Remember that Andy's supplement recommendations can help a

lot even when you can't chelate. Are you getting enough

vitamin C and all the antioxidants, fish oil, etc? The

antioxidants are really important right now. And milk

thistle would be a very good thing to be taking for the

liver, no matter what pathways are blocked.

You also might try adding an anti-inflammatory (like turmeric

or ginger) to see if that reduces your pain. Those wouldn't

strain your liver and might help it as a side benefit.

Definitely worth telling some good lies to avoid a bad

protocol. I know I don't have to tell you that. I'm glad

he got you the liver testing. I know that's going to help

you, assuming he makes good recommendations for treatment.

Yes, sounds like you could do a lot worse in a dentist, so I'm glad

you have a someone who is doing the best he can on the extraction

and replacement side of things.

When do you leave for the trip up there?

I'll be wishing good thoughts in your direction.
