Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Dear , You are mistaken to dismiss cytochome 450 testing as you do below. Testing for Cytochrome 2D6 ALONE covers Effexor, Prozac, Paxil, Amitriptyline, serzone, and a host of others. Had I had this info ten years ago I would have been spared years of unneccessary runaround by dismissive doctors.

Right. The best educators simplify. I have found that if I wish to keep the attention of the (regular) reader I must use plain writing and plain usage Otherwise I lose them. > As for http://www.cbc.ca , this is not what this group is about.

I have every reason to believe that this writer has the skill and motivation to make this difficult topic both understandable and useful to the world.
