I just spent a year coming back from a serious illness-one of my fears was getting it again so l asked Doctor Whitmore about about urine tests every month and a half he said l can't do that did not explain why but gave me a lab request for a test now and that was that -- for the record l had sepsis and it went to my brain one year later here l am but live in fear of getting it again-l think staying alert and prevention is due here-- thank you
