Is it just us getting older or is our house killing us. Thank you
Answerwhile these look like a cluster if similar cases from radon, sick building syndrome, at the OSU CIM we evaluate the lab tests more carefully to correlate the diets which most often are similar if in the same household to eliminate nutritional toxicities and identify deficiencies which when replaced bring about recovery and health, even in cancer and situations you describe.
Feng shui is another approach to use on the home but does not account for work and food toxicities we find in every patient we have seen over the last 21,800 visit at the OSU CIM
