My wife recently started having some health issues, and I truly believe they could be addressed based on the protocols you advocate. We are already working with doctors, but we aren't really getting anywhere. She has lost some motor functions and couldn't walk with good balance for a while, which meant I had to drive her around. The right side of her body has now tested weaker than the left, and we just don't understand what's going on. This all happened right around the time I found your content, so I have got her to take some supplements you have recommended. Not sure if it was by chance, but she has slightly improved, though she still experiences periodic issues.
I think our next step should be DNA testing, but I am nervous about trying to help her on my own and also about what the doctors may want her to do or what they may want to put her on. We are both pretty nervous, and any insight you could provide would be amazing. Apologies for the long-winded question, but your content is truly inspiring, and we are stuck with no answers right now.
