All the diagnostic testing and diagnosing just amplify the signs and symptoms, but the tests do not find the cause nor do they find the cure. No, these tests are to scare you into buying more interventions such as drugs and surgery. After all, what is the bottom line? However, if you feel good you do not have signs and symptoms and therefore there is nothing to diagnose .

Any correlation between vo2 max and resting 02 level taken routinely at doctor's office? (Mine is 99 - 100%. Resting pulse 60.)

VO 2 max is ….. body's ability to deliver oxygen to muscles and use it for energy production, serving as a key indicator of aerobic fitness and cardiovascular endurance. Higher VO2 max values indicate better aerobic capacity.

Great article. Exactly why I quit going to conventional medical doctors. All they do is look for a reason run more tests and give me a bunch of pills. God gave me a perfectly designed body; my job is to follow His plan for maintaining that body until He calls me home.

I will have to get a measure of VO2max to see how good a job I am doing.
