So maybe all the pieces do fit nicely into a channelopathy. If so, you're right - anesthesia could be dangerous.
I wish everyone could focus on HEALTH from birth, including ridding our planet of toxins, deciding that bad food IS bad food and shouldn't be given to kids and so many other things that are good for us being taught when we're young like meditation. The power of "energy" to heal is truly amazing.
I hope you find answers. You may need a 2nd opinion again from a channel expert.
