All true, and also, THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO SYMPTOMS.
You could walk in on fire, and they will look at your labs and say all your tests are "normal."
I recently watched a video by Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, who is a pioneer in treating chronic fatigue. (He recommends low carb.) He says lab values were originally drawn from shockingly low numbers of people, and then calculated within two standard deviations. Resulting in meaningless numbers in terms of diagnosis and treatment for most people.
His example is that if he ran a shoe store that way, he'd be out of business in a week. |
