Joy,

Yes thanks. We are waiting the results of a hair elements test along

with a urine porphyrin from Paris which I found an interpretation

method to use it with. I am still in complete CONFUSION over the

difference in protocols between the ARI and Andy. The two major

conflicts seem to be frequency and amount. Their ideas of the half

life of DMSA are different and the amount is 20 times more with the

ARI - DAN protocol. It is very troubling for a skeptical parent.
