Bottom Line


Within minutes a reader can get an analysis done, instead of waiting weeks for me to have time. The analysis above is still lacking the benefits of my deep-dives into bacteria genus, but that will change as I move the data across.

The same person may return in two weeks and find additional suggestions.

This is an education post to facilitate discussing this approach with your medical professionals. It is not medical advice for the treatment of any condition. Always consult with your medical professional before doing any changes of diet, supplements or activity. Some items cites may interfere with prescription medicines.
