Guest guest Posted December 26, 2000 Report Share Posted December 26, 2000 Yes, Great Smokies is better, but you don't have to be near them as whatever samples you get (blood, stool etc) are mailed to them.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2000 Report Share Posted December 26, 2000 Drs have a hard time writing orders for labs that they believe will not give you worthwhile results. The tests at GSDL are much more standard and acceptable to most physicians than Great Plains and the interpretations aren't as suspect.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2000 Report Share Posted December 26, 2000 Dcotors Data for the mercury. The yeast test is really a misnomer. It's not really what anyone thinks it is. The yeast part is really only a figment of GPL interpretations. The skin pricks do not work and if you based her restrictions on those results, yes, get the blood testing done by ImmunoLabs or GSDL because they will likely be very different. Go see my site at www.geocities.com/ARNFL and click on medical.

The skin prick test has a high ratio of false positives, but the blood test has a high ratio of false negatives. So to be on the safe side we are doing both, and for now are completely avoiding anything she showed 3+ or more for on the skin prick test. There is so much conflicting info. out there, not to add so many personal opinions that I really believe one must go with their gut and do the best they can. I am not going through great plains because I have heard so many people complain about them, and back their complaints up. We have to be careful when going off others complaints, as everyone could have one bad experience. I have heard complaints on here about Kirkmans, but no one could convince me to go with anyone else. I think they are wonderful! So we will go ahead with the yeast testing because if nothing more it will get us a medical evaluation to justify treatment to my insurance company. We will probably get the allergy testing done through great smokies, as soon as we can find a Dr. to write the order. Anyone know of a good Dr. in NC, maybe even eastern NC, that can help us? If not we will go out to Asheville, anyone have a good experience to share with me about one of the Dr.'s in Asheville, NC? Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Which font are you using? This is Bookman Old Style 14. But If I switch to another font like Times New Roman and use a 14 it looks like this. That doesn't really help, does it? lol SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
