Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Looks incredibly normal to me. You can try a few rounds of chelation just to be belt and suspender ssure (and I do recommend this), but most likely you need to search for what else the problem is. A few yellow range results don't mean anything.
