Re: DDI Hair Results-andy, dana?

[Guest guest]

Thanks Moria,

I wonder what your (and anyone else's) take is on the counting rules

per these results. He had 5 essential and other minerals that were

above the 50th percentile, and three that were in the white area,

right at the 50th percentile. So I wonder if that truly indicates a

high probability, and if I can confidently pursue chelation at this

point or should consider a different option first.

Andy, Dana? Any thoughts?

I have never learned how to apply the counting rules, so I can't help

you there.

ALA caused some very nice improvements for my kids, so I would

definitely recommend you consider it.

Consider removing sources of current exposures
