Can you provide any tips on what to do to reverse or help these issues? I’m getting nowhere with my internist in fact she outright told me “we don’t know why the liver gets elevated levels and we don’t know what you should do to make it better” apparently the only reason I get my lab work done for my doctor is show she can simply point out I have a high level of something and if there’s a rx she will prescribe that but otherwise it’s just diagnosing me with an issue that she has no knowledge of helping. This is my 6th dr in the past 15 years and I’m getting nowhere fast. Need information on what to do for liver problems that cause elevated enzymes.

I would like to know more about adult dormant strep and adult dormant staph infections. The person I know that has both (according to their primary) also has diabetes and has had it to the point that they have had neuropathy for years. Is there a way to defeat either of these issues?

Can one get CME credit from watching the videos?

you’re supposed to have your board all done before you start offering explanation to your audience instead of us watching you write things down and repeat yourself.
