Normally I cringe a little when people ask me if Im the pharmacist when Im out, socially, having a bite to eat, etc. Many times people whove heard of me ask me to give a Curbside Consult. This AM was different :: A woman with a knitted cap on her head stopped to talk to me at Starbucks. I recognized her as a customer and I waited for The Question. Instead she told me that she has Lupus erythematosis & she reminded me that I had suggested that she fix her GUT/DIGESTION and, maybe, her auto-immune disease would improve. She told me that shes never felt better in her life! Even her doctor told her that her ALOPECIA AREATA (another auto-immune disease) had experienced a spontaneous remission & she didnt need any cortisone injections to prevent more hair loss! She had not taken my advice right away as she was scared to do something that would make things worse, so she asked her Rheumatologist if probiotics, digestive enzymes, & fish oils were OK to take. He said, Why not. They probably wont hurt. Now, she said, he is coming to the Pharmacy to meet & talk with me. I am very excited that she has remission & her doctor may incorporate our functional medicine approach in his practice.
