I told him it seemed to be behind, and…

went to naturopathic dr and am starting a detox cleanse Friday
Hi everyone, Well I finally took the plunge and went and saw a naturopathic doctor. Even within that realm, the "ND's" (naturopathic dr) don't all approach things in the exact same way. I've heard of others on the board who have gone and just started in on various supplements. I have felt like the supplement queen lately-…

nanoknife Dr says to get radiation
Looks like I'll be getting radiation instead of nanoknife. The Dr said a non-invasive procedure would be best. He did say that he could do it if he had to. But since there is another option, I should try it first. So it's back to the beam.
