LAB RESULTS SCANNED IN and Next Weeks Experiment: Protein Green Concept

I mentioned this before, but as a part of my Ayurvedic treatment plan, I have stopped taking all vitamins.  A few weeks ago I totally freaked because I realized all the muscle tone in my body had disappeared.  If I pushed on any area of my body I could push right through to the bone...my arms, my thighs, my calves, even my butt. When I asked Nick if he noticed anything he said my skin felt like a water balloon.  I went to see my medical doctor thinking I must have a terrible vitamin deficiency, but all the tests came back normal, with the exception of my protein levels.  He said I was on the low end and that was most likely the cause of the muscle loss.  Yesterday I learned that most fibromyalgia patients have a protein deficiency.   My Ayurvedic doctor had already told me the same thing.  She said the protein is oxidizing before it has a chance to be absorbed and gave me a recipe for the protein green concept and told me it would help the protein to be absorbed.  So beginning this weekend, I am going to eat the protein-green dish (which is basically meat and greens blended to a baby food consistency) for a seven day period and see what happens.  I'm not sure if I will be able to make it back to the doctors at the end of this 7 days, but I would like to try so I can get another blood test to determine if my protein levels did go up after this protein-green experiment.  For now, here are the current test results.
