Today I asked my doctor to order blood work for a standard nutrition panel (check for deficiencies in vitamin D, B and Magnesium). Her reply: ‘We don’t order it because we frankly believe it makes no sense’. I was a bit shocked. Poor nutrition and vitamin deficiencies have been shown to cause a vast arrary of health problems down the road. I was displeased and think this attitude and I feel it’s part of whats with the US medical system. Should I just order these tests on my own and pay $300 online somewhere?
Thanks for looking to reach out! I try to reply to every single email I get (really!), but sometimes it takes a little while or some messages just fall through the cracks, usually by accident.
