because their blood tests seem cheap -

Eg Vitamin B12 for about seven quid. I read about these people a couple of days ago on the BBC website -

I think you might be referring to Walgreens buying Alliance Boots.

(Walmart own Asda and have done for quite a number of years now.)

Do you know who does "RBC tests" in the UK? BTW, does that stand for red blood cell? I was thinking of doing some tests using Genova. Does anyone know if this is a good online company for testing? Thanks a lot.

I hope they come soon and manage to keep the prices low, UK private blood tests are way out of mine and many others budgets. I would definitely use them rather than the blindly going by symptoms alone like I am at the moment.

Not what you're looking for?
