Eating well but not Being well

I have appreciated your empathy, compassion and listening skills. It was useful when you were able to refer back to your earlier notes I could see I was making progress, or where I really need to put effort in and make changes. You accepted that my physician had a role to play – not forcing me into an either-or position when selecting healthcare approaches. You thought outside the square and looked for a range of approaches to health issues, rather than one-size-fits-all. It worked for me to “start small”– when we started making changes. At all times I have felt respected – not slotted into a category [age OR illness category].

Phillipa, thanks for “being there” over the last year.  Having a regular “sounding board” has helped me, lots.  And you were the one who put me onto hair testing for toxicity… which my GP then checked out, using the before-and-after urine sampling through the Chicago lab   …  thank goodness.
