Answer
Kathy,
OK, basically what they are saying is that see a very mild problem.  It is so mild that they cannot cut on you just yet. So, they will want to wait until this gets bad enough that you come back in a year or two, you can then be a candidate for surgery.
Hopefully, you respect yourself just a little bit more than that.
What I suggest is to have an evaluation done by our testing protocol that is highly sensitive and looks for the cause of your health problem where other cannot even see it.  How can we do this?
Because we have been specifically trained to be able to locate  and to correct an obstruction in your nervous system that 99% of the time is the cause of your abnormal health condition.
You know your body better than anyone else ever will, and so what you are feeling is something that they just simply cannot pick up on yet.  So does that mean that it is not happening, to them possibly but obviously not to you.
I would love to help you and if you could come out to our St Louis clinic I can run the necessary tests and know for sure if you fall into the 99% or the 1%, but either way you and I will know rather quickly.  If by 1% chance I cannot help you, I will be able to send you to the correct place that certainly could, is that fair enough?

Yours in Best Health,
