By the way, who is your DAN? We are totally unfamiliar with the

condition you mentioned. Googled it, and that's our Matt. The drugs

mentioned in your email..does Ament put his patients on these

indefinitely or are these used aggressively as Stan advocated the use

of antivirals and antifungals...to " hit it and hit it hard " ....and

then use dietary interventions and lifestyle changes to create good

health post the " real meds " as he puts it, intervention?

How many months in the cue to get a consultation with Mehra? Thanks

Diane and Warren, mom and dad to Matt 2.5
