@GodswillChemist And for stupids like me who took the MRNA experiment D dimer and?

@GodswillChemist Regular, thorough blood work can catch hidden issues before they become serious.

@GodswillChemist Knowledge is key - annual extensive blood tests are like reading the fine print of your body's health contract. Always aim for the full picture.

@GodswillChemist I’m a Leukemia patient. I get most of these tests twice a year if not more.

@GodswillChemist Thank you for the information

@GodswillChemist @gymsociety @grok is this true and feasible?

@GodswillChemist It’s so expensive to get all this bloodwork. Any recommendations as to where to get it done? No insurance for labs.

@GodswillChemist @grok resume in a point list

@GodswillChemist @Artofphysique_ My trust issues with the entire medical industry keep me from seeing what we call doctors for any reason… I don’t trust the β€œscience” don’t trust the validity of the education β€œdoctors” receive.. The system is broken

@GodswillChemist I'm of the strong view that majority of the these tests are Totally waste & useless as different labs give variable reports for same blood & urine? Moreover, subject to intake, blood, urine, stool can change instantly & report will definitely mismatch, therefore useless Isn't?

@GodswillChemist Don't skip crucial blood tests, prioritize your health today.

@GodswillChemist No need for any Blood tests till you fill your body responding well. If you go for any taste your result will be positive or negative, if it's positive you fill happy and if outcome negative unnecessary you will get panic, better do om, meditation, yoga and pranayam little walk☺️

@GodswillChemist Regular blood tests can be life-saving, don't overlook their importance.

@GodswillChemist If I do all these yearly, my flight ✈️ to heaven will be delayed for over 200 years. Thanks though for your thoughtful help.

@GodswillChemist Doctors are not arsed doing this even when you ask

@GodswillChemist What lab do you recommend

@GodswillChemist You’re missing a pretty important one. PSA, in fact it should be ultra PSA. it saved my life

@GodswillChemist Nobody needs a blood test. Ever. The body heals itself. Mind body resonance.

@GodswillChemist 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 have fun getting a Dr order this and getting it covered by insurance.

@GodswillChemist . No pΓ²

@GodswillChemist Thank you ! Most of these are already done but the inflammation markers are the one I am concerned about…. blood work coming up!

@GodswillChemist Ahh money mill.

@GodswillChemist Thank you for this!

@GodswillChemist No reason to do these checks when you don’t have symptoms. When you worry about vit D or vitB12 you can take supplements without testing.
