Mrs. D. In response to your query this is what David just emailed me:
Decreased reflexes on right compared to left. left side normal. at times no reflex on right but then Dr. will try again and get a decreased reflex. if the doctor tries the reflex test 10 times will even get a normal response once whereas other side normal on every tap. one Doctor conclusion is its decreased on one side and means systemic issue. another doctor thought the same but changed mind based on EMG and says sometimes age or just unknown reasons decrease the reflex.
Never smoked. moderate drinker. have not taken drugs below. need more blood work but Drs. do not think this is caused by toxins.
Thanks Mrs. D

Cipro, Flagyl, Levaquin, Avelox, statins, etc.

What is his uric acid level? (gout). Any vaccines lately?
Does he smoke?
Things like that.
Dietary issues, and going gluten free may help. Or he could get the gluten blood work done.
