Getting the Correct Treatment...

[Poppet11]

I was reading the article last night by Kevin Byrne on the Enterohepatic Circulation. I've read it a lot - Kevin has a medical background, I haven't, and I really have to work through what he puts (it's brilliant by the way)

But he was talking about getting treatment and I'm not going to quote him directly but his analogy was relating to osteoporosis.

What he said in effect was that if you were diagnosed with osteoporosis and your calcium levels were low, would a doctor consider you treated ie the osteoporosis reversed, after they had given you treatment which pushed your calcium levels into normal?

Because that is exactly what they do with b12 deficiency patients.

Mind you we now know that they were doing that because doctors thought b12 was a blood condition first and a neurological condition last. Bit of an error, that one.

Who is Kevin Byrne?

[Poppet11 in reply to Secondchance]

He's a b12 sufferer who has a medical/scientific background.

The problem is, that he sometimes 'presumes knowledge' when it comes to the biochemical terminology etc. You tend to need to be near the internet when you read it so you can interpret some of the terminology he uses.

The frightening part is that I know he did a version for professionals and one for the layman. I don't know which version I have, but if I've got the layman's, then I'd hate to even see the professional.
