I wonder if we can get handouts for child versions of all the treatment protocols.I think the only child protocol we’ve received is the antimicrobial one. I’m after the yeast one right now.

For example, search bar and typing in a keyword like organics bring up all the general organics tests for patient or provider instead of looking under documents and labs. This feature would expedite reviewing old labs to see patterns over time. Would you be able to request such a feature?

Chris Kresser: That’s a really good idea. I would love to see something like that. I think that would become...
