You say ETG immunoassay testing at a cutoff of 1000 ng/ml is often used in combination with " more sensitive tests " . Specifically, what are these tests?

You state that 60% of the population are " high ETG producers " . Is this term synonymous with " hyperproducer " ? It seems to me if the incidence were this high, there would be a far higher occurrence of innocent positives from environmental alcohol exposure than the 2% at the 100 ng/ml cutoff that you have estimated.

You say " Medications may create innocent positives " and " Women may produce more ETG per alcohol exposure than do men " . As a result, what cutoff level are you recommending for women as opposed to men? What medications are contraindicated with ETG testing and should, therefore, be included in a contract to be avoided?

Statements such as " A negative ETG test usually means other drugs are not being used " and " Treating alcoholism treats other addictions " are suggestive that other addictions may be monitored by testing for ETG. I comprehend the gateway theory, but are you referring specifically to substance abuse addictions here? Are you suggesting that such addictions as overeating, shoplifting, and sexual addiction be monitored by ETG, and if so, could you provide a reference?

Could you provide a reference for the statement, " ETG testing saves lives " ?

Thank you.
