Just a quick note…..

Here are the results of Alyssa’s Glycated Hemoglobin blood test, ordered by Jeanne Wallace ~ Nutritionist ~ She also looked at all CBC numbers.

“HbA1c = 5.5. This is up a bit from your previous reading of 5.3. This is a measure of blood sugar balance. We expect that if you tighten up the blood sugar balancing aspects of Alyssa's diet, you will be able to bring this test closer to the ideal level of 5.0 over the next three months…….

Alyssa's thyroid panel (TSH and free T4) are great, exactly where we would like them to be. Her thyroid function is very good, and her TSH is in the high normal range. Research indicates that having a thyroid on the slow normal side may be advantageous with regard to creating an anti-brain tumor body environment.

Alyssa's
CBC looks very good!…………..”

Mostly good news ~ except for we really have to clamp down on the sugar intake. Lovely……..with Halloween coming that might be difficult!

Still waiting to hear from the hospital….
