Vita Lady list of labs?
Does anyone have her most recent list of labs?
I really would like to compare hers to what my PCP is sending me for? as far as I recall, my PCP `s list sounds like her list. And I do not understand why some labs are needed, LDH,MMA, Homocysteine.,Osteocalcin?
Thank You

You might find her list on her website. Or else you can contact her and ask for it.
If you don't understand why some are needed, ask your PCP. Or email Michelle and ask her why she suggests them.
I don't believe I get all the labs on her list. I've compiled my own list based on my research, with input from Michelle and other sources.
I'd be really surprised and impressed if your PCP orders all the labs she recommends without you asking for them. Most PCP's order a pretty short list of labs unless asked to order others.

Thanks for the list, Poet Kelly. I've made a note of them to discuss with my PCP, so she will have a better idea what to order after I have the surgery and need to have labs done. I will also have a look at Vita Lady's site and see what her list has.
There are seven days in a week and "some day" is not one of them.
