Key Takeaways:

Pamela's son had health issues that were difficult to diagnose and treat so she had to do a lot of research and testing to find solutions. She recommends taking notes on symptoms and patterns, getting tested for allergies and infections, and looking at lifestyle factors that could cause inflammation. With the guidance of a neurologist, she made supplements from plants to treat her son's infections and symptoms. Pamela acknowledges that doctors are under pressure and may not have all the answers, but also believes there needs to be more access to cost-effective testing. Her son is now healthy teenager and continues to be conscious of his diet and activity.
