So I've sent my details. It's called RAW might be something about food maybe? But if it was doctor in the house I would love to be chosen :-). Posting here in case someone is interested.

Mild depression

Chronic pain

High blood pressure

High cholesterol

ADHD

Osteoarthritis

Osteoporosis

We are keen to speak to anyone interested in finding out more.

Thank you helvella that's easier with the link :-) . I'm so desperate to get better if they will check me holistically it might be helpful. Although hashimotos is not in the list, I suffer from depression and crippling PMS so maybe they'd consider me :-).

Good old BBC - staying well clear of ME!

Though that is only a list of "can include" (awkward way of putting it). So there is the possibility of any other disorder making it to the program - though this sort of list does seem to be a pre-ordination of what they are looking for and will include, maybe this time it won't be. And if they cover all that in series one, they might be struggling for series two. :-)
