I just bought 4 copies there now. . . . 2 are destined for doctors one being my saviour on this front .. . . . Maybe she already has it, time will tell. . . . . . If she already has it she can pass it on. . . . . She quite clued up on this front .. . . . Another is destined for my nearly daughter in law another doctor. . . . . Consultant Anesthetist. . . . . They were not dear . . . . .

One thing that struck me while watching this was the doctor they interview giving a contrary opinion. He mentioned something along the lines of "We don't want to give someone B12 and assume their symptoms are from B12 deficiency and then not look for a more serious underlying disease."

AHHHH!!!! This is like not just missing for the forest for the trees, but then taking a flame thrower to the forest because it's shading other things that might be on the forest floor that aren't seen 'visible' enough. Yikes, but also seems to be the misguided approach of many doctors....

Dr. Chandy was really between a rock and hard place. So grateful for his work!!!

Thanks so VERY MUCH for putting this link to Dr Chandy's video on this blog. I am going to ensure my GP in Sydney Australia, watches this!

All the best and well done again 😊

That must have taken a lot of guts and we all know how significant it is when a doctor believes us and treats us, giving us our life back!
