If you are suffering with a chronic disease or knows someone who is, this may be the most important thread you ever read. A little back story.
9 years ago goodgirl was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis; it is a very fucked up disease. Those of you that have met her probably noticed how quiet she was. There was too much pain for her to concentrate on a conversation. She could not stand around and talk because she had to keep moving to ease the pain in her feet. Two months ago her sister's kid had a baby. These days they test newborns for genetic deficiencies, they discovered a mutated gene and they did not know what side of the family it came from. The mutation can cause a dangerous vitamin deficiency that can have serious effects. goodgirl decided to get a B7 test run on her. After two months and two tests they determined that she had a profound deficiency, otherwise known as Biotinidase Deficiency.
So little is known about the disease that her primary care physician did not know what to do, but she had a vacation scheduled, so she left town. goodgirl found a clinic that would give her a B7/B12 injection, then went to the store and bought some B7 capsules. That was Saturday the 20th of July. On Sunday she stopped taking the multitude of pills that she has taken every day for the last 9 years. It has been a week now and I can not believe the difference. It is like I am with someone new.
There is far too much information for me to deliver in one post or article on my blog, so there will be a series written. I advise anyone that has been diagnosed with any disease to get a vitamin and mineral blood test done immediately. It could change or save your life. It did hers.
