are really the result of doctors not listening. A friend lived with lots of pain and ill health, something she thought she inherited from her father, until she found the answer - in her 60's. Celiac. She was able to save her nephew right before he was going to have surgery to remove some of his intestines. Fight is the right word when doctors will not listen or are stuck in the past.

Example: My 70 year old doctor was told in medical school it would be rare if they came across cases of diabetes. It is now practically an epidemic.
