[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2029224, member: 160246"] That's so great you have regular contact with the natural environments. We have extensive trail systems throughout our city and parks adjacent to the ocean, river, and creeks. I feel so fortunate to live here. We sometimes have up to four deer in our protected back yard, tons of squirrels, a family of chickadees, but could do without the possums! C-Peptide test is used to rule out a deficiency of insulin, which may lead to further testing for LADA. hsCRP is used to track inflammation which is important for me because I'm have a lot of fear around having a heart attack or stroke. I really don't know anything about PH levels: what they should be and how to get them there. Could you tell me more about this? :) Here's the link to the article on the importance of [I]increasing[/I] salt intake - (when you think you're at the end of the article, be sure to scroll down further; the article is broken into two parts, and the last part gives very specific recommendations)...
