Episode 97:New stuff that we found – MMR/autism, metformin, A1c and colchicine

In Episode 97, Mike and James present listeners with 4 ‘diamonds in the rough’ which should have an impact on practice, or at least get you trending towards a change. Information on MMR and autism, metformin and Vit B12, HbA1C not being zero, and low dose colchicine are presented with the usual clarity and profoundness listeners have come to expect from the podcast. At the end we refer people to the show notes to clear up all the misinformation presented.
