As of 11/3/2025, Laxmi Mehta has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
She seemed to interact and to be more committed and involved personally than previously. That's very important to me. However, I was hopeful she might help find a pharmacogenomics testing site that I might be able to take advantage of before taking the new medication she suggested. This has been extremely helpful in the past due to my sensitivity to medications and statins, and the important information provided through this testing.
