    That chart is pretty meaningless. suppose you have high normal Free triiodothyronine but also low normal Estradiol what does that indicate? How are they impacted my medicine? what if something moves from low normal to high normal?
    I've seen to many 'self diagnosis' go bad becasue people don't understand the other effects.

    It's not just a check list of normals.

    " "positive" for HIV or Hepatitis"
    so what does that mean?

    if you answer was anything other than ' take a second test' you fail.

    And of course a significant portion of people will never report or followup when they have an STD. They will infect others, and they will apply 'pop culture' 'treatments' to serious diseases.

    I look forward to people beating themselves with bushes to cure aids, and using prayer to protect others from getting infected~
