Well Peter knew this was the day to get all the bloodwork results with Dr DeNise for he needed to be picked up from school after only arriving 1.5 hours earlier. I knew it was going to be a rough day, the mornign was really rough. He seemed "off" and very anxious. So sure enough the nurse called and said she has a very handsome 5th grader with her and a very uncompelling story as to why he should go home. He complained to her of a backache, exhaustion, and other "benign symptoms" and since he is not a frequent flyer into her office, she entertained him in calling me. I explained what Peter has been going through and asked to speak with him. I explained to him this would not be a treat to come home and he was still responsible for getting his school and home work done. He was tired when he arrived home and rested for a long while then with the usual trial after trial the work slowly got done.
We went to pick up Dave at the train station and went onto to the doctors office. Chris came along this time, he saved up doing his homework, so he would have something to do there and of course the DS also was in hand.
Dr DeNise went over all the results carefully and meticulously. The blood work showed very low levels of Vit D, Vit C, and elevated levels of Aluminum. Not metal toxicity levels but an elevation none the less. So ultimately for these areas. Increase Vit D to 2000IU at night, and add buffered 500 Calcium 2x/day. And for the Aluminum, change over our pots to enamelled cast iron or stainless steel, and be aware of how often foods are store in Aluminum. Interesting.
Next was the look into the urine test which looked at the neurotransmitters, and low and behold nearly all of these were elevated or low. The diagram which demonstrated these results yielded symptoms that matched Peters. Ultimately the recommendation is for 3 supplements including Kavinace 2x/day, an evening spray, and after 2 weeks we add the 3rd supplement. The supplements will shift a balance and alleviate the symptoms. The doctor explains to Dave's question, what happens after the balance is achieved: she states one comes off the supplements. I simply cannot wrap my head around this, does this mean that once balance is achieved one is cured?
We will see, we are cautiously optimistic.
