Jane asks, "My father-in-law has diabetes, possibly rheumatoid arthritis so he was put on immune suppressors. The inflammation is so bad that he can barely use his hands. Now he has so much inflammation in his hip and spine, so it is pinching his nerves, is on pain killers, will have surgery next week. He is depressed. He smokes. Is there a practitioner, preferably near Burlington Vermont, or can work with him remotely to assess allergies, toxic overload, possible need for GAPS? Maybe it has gotten bad enough he might finally try alternatives to his doctors. He tried acupuncture but it was too painful. I don't live near him. Any other suggestions? Many thanks!"
