FDA Authorizes Ten 23andme Genetic Health Risk Reports

I have very weird metabolic problems... the US medical model --- if you can't diagnose it in two or three visits-- it doesn't exist.

I actually have the 23andme kit right here-- I plan to get the genome data to submit to some other services to see if there's ANYTHING I can learn about what's going on with my body.

My doctors have basically been watching me die.

Best of luck. If you really didn't have a diagnosis after 3 visits, you probably should see another doctor. I'm just curious, what you mean by metabolic problems?

I don't want to go into my medical history here... but I'm sensitive to several common proteins and compounds. Chronically low on B*, D and Calcium. Doctors think I'm nuts. It runs in the family-- my mother and grandmother have the same problem. B vitamins seem to modulate one of the problems and not another. :)
