That is one heck of an article! I have learned enough over the last ten years to understand half of it and it is on the money IMHO. And I find nothing egregious in the rest.

My experience with NDs is similar to thatof soccertese - a lot of tests, talk, and money but with a different spin. The tests were for a purpose explained ahead of time, the talk was a real effort to educate, and the cost was due to three hours of quality time that insurance wouldn't touch.

I found this while googling PD and parathyroid as a recent blood test showed me to be deficient in calcium whic hcan be due to problems with the parathyroid. Does anyone know about this or has anyone been tested low for calcium?
