She told me that I have elevated yeast/parasite count, and severely reduced liver and kidney capacity for my age.
She was also asking questions about my general health that seemed to be leading her into her diagnosis which is sort of what I imagine meeting with a psychic is like...
Honestly, the treatment package she recommended for 1 month for myself and my wife was less than $450 and it is so believable that these things are actually happening and causing general feelings of tiredness, etc. But there is a big part of me that is screaming BS!

yeast is natural to have and is only of significance in the presence of symptoms. if your "parasite levels" where high, you'd be very ill. i've had patients told that they had bacteria/yeast in their blood, so i did a blood culture to prove that they were being led awry and naturally it came back normal. as for reduced kidney and liver capacity, there are simple blood tests for that - ask your GP to check your creatinine (and throw in a urinalysis for fun) as well as checking your liver function tests (different from liver enzymes). i highly doubt they will be abnormal. the symptoms you allude to have differential diagnoses that are pages long and to assign them to liver and kidney function in the absence of any validated testing (whether through an appropriate physical exam and/or blood tests) is untruthful.
