I got my lab work back for my 2 years out (6 weeks away, but did it early).

Everything is pretty good.

Some of the high points (things I actually recognize):

Potasium was 3.7 - recommended is 3.5-5.3
Calcium was 9.2 - recommended s 8.5-10.5
Protein was 6.9 - recommended is 6.0-8.4
Cholesterol is all good.
White blood cells count is 4100, should be between 4000 and 10000
Ferritin was 143 - recommended between 12-282
Vitamin B-12 was 871 - recommended 250-1100
Vitamin D was 37 - recommended 30-100 

That's the basics.  I am super happy.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

Couple of suggestions and this is my opinion only.  Watch your B-12 yes it is OK but can tank QUICKLY.  On the Vitamin D, if it was me I'd be getting that one up; the 30s are in range but not optimum for US.  Low D will allow your body to leach the calcium from your bones, whi*****ludes your teeth.

Your Ferritin is ROCKIN, I so wish mine was there.

Good job George!

I trust you so much that I was going to send my entire report to you to look at.  Thank you for the comments.  I had already decided I needed to do two things.  Mary already takes Vitamin D, so I am just going to start using it too.  I also told her to keep OJ in the house, I will have a glass of OJ every morning when I come in so I can get my Potassium level up a little bit.  As far as the B-12 goes, I do not miss taking a minimum of one sublingual a week.  I have recently upped it to two, with the episodes with some of our dear friends here at TMB.  All in all, I am beyond happy with my results. Thanks again.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
