Dx Accuracy Rate

The following is a tally I keep so I can remember the total correct and incorrect diagnoses I have made. Data for each specific diagnosis is kept private.

These diagnoses were ALL made despite the initial disbelief of my physician or the physician of my family members and other’s individuals that I have helped.

Examples of the diagnosises I have made include:

Diagnosis (Gender/sex) – # of months before official diagnosis

# Diagnosis Gender & Population Patient Months or Weeks Before Official Dx or Confirmation
1 Asymptomatic severe H. Pylori infection Female – Adult Patient #2 2 months
2 Low testosterone Female – Adult Patient #2 9 months
3 Low estrogen Female – Adult Patient #2 22 months
4 Elevated angiotensin 2 (with low BP) Female – Adult Patient #2 4 months
5 Chronic infection (from international travel) Female – Adult Patient #2 25 months
6 Parasitic infection Male – Adult Patient #1 71 months
7 Parasitic infection Male – Pediatric Patient #4 10 months
8 Parasitic infection Female – Pediatric Patient #5 9 months
9 Parasitic infection Female – Adult Patient #2 25 months
10 Hyperthyroidism Female – Adult Patient #2 1.5 months
11 Low estrogen Female – Adult Patient #3 2 months

 

ALL or almost all diagnosis were made at a root cause level. So this means I looked at ALL available data, all physiologic processes, all mental processes, all aspects of chemistry, and neurotransmitters, hormones, and so on and between ALL of those aspects I made a diagnosis.

A diagnosis (or Dx) is ONLY considered correct IF confirmed clinically via laboratory values, massive improvement in symptoms following suggested treatment and verified improvement through short term treatment cessation when safe.

  • Correct Dx: 31
  • Incorrect Dx: 4
  • Unproven Dx:  1
  • Total Diagnoses:  36
  • Percentage Correct: 86.1%
