and who knows, maybe GG and Cathy know each other

Well, I know Cathy wants to avoid getting too deeply involved with any naturopaths that have a self-serving agenda (prescribing stuff that either won't work, she doesn't need...or that will create more problems that it solves) - just to pad their own wallets.
I work with a guy who has a naturopath on speed-dial (guru - I call him) who sells him so many different 'snake oils' (my words) that he spends half his weekly pay on herbal pills, vitamin extracts, drops - and ends up with more chemical imbalances than you can imagine. Mentally and emotionally he's a wreck, but the naturopath has him wrapped around his finger - hell, he'd ingest cyanide if this guy told him it'd fix a hangnail.
We'll take it one step at a time. Getting tested for B7 deficiency will be first - followed by a consultation with her specialist (she sees him again in Sept).
