You know my wife who like yourself and Ross, is a graduate of PCOM, does treat Lymes and alphagal. She has told me many times that some patients come in thinking they might have one/either of these conditions but actually do not. Or conversely, some will have those conditions, get treated for it and then mistake other influences as the diseases "coming back".

Unlike a western medicine doctor, she doesn't have the luxury to blame the patient if her treatment does not work. She will do an assessment and treat whatever is going on. Lymes/alphagal or not. Sometimes Lymes/alphagal and other things simultaneously that have overlapping symptoms.

Many people, being very effectively brainwashed by establishment "healthcare", only seek "alternative" treatments after having made several rounds with western doctors with no relief. So, by the time the give up on that process, they can be deeply affected by numerous imbalances, allergies, and other less-than healthy conditions (to include the emotional body).

I even know a guy whose wife has alphagal diagnosed (by western doctors), but "doesn't believe in alternative medicine", so she can't even go near a restaurant that serves red meat. She can't even smell it, or she goes into some sort of shock. Also, she can't take certain medications because, big surprise, they include whatever traces of animal proteins.

Some people will apparently prefer a substantially degraded condition of health with little to no relief than, god forbid, considering that a different way might be more valuable. Meanwhile, my wife's practice has no open slots. Long, long, waiting list. Some people never get to see her that want to.

"Maybe you should go see an acupuncturist?"

"Well I don't like needles!"

"OMG! The first person in history that doesn't like needles, where absolutely everyone else enjoys them thoroughly! Good call! I'm sure you'll suffer zero discomfort seeing your MD!"

Thank you! Re "genetic engineering" - it does not exist. Nobody can genetically engineer anything because nobody knows what genes do or how to make them do anything. I strongly suspect they are imaginary mathematical concepts and do not represent anything real in biology. Current GMOs are basically selective breeding, sometimes starting from initial injury to produce some effects/variations to select from.
