Re: Urinary Porphyrins Results

[Guest guest]

I wouldn't worry too much about the overall numbers. Basically, your

kid has a mercury problem. He could benefit from chelation. That's

all I think you can learn from these tests.

if you want to compare results, then there is a file on either CK2 or

autism-mercury which you can use to compare results of various

children.
