RE: Re: Group Meeting Results/DAN Info.

[Guest guest]

Liz,

I surround my self with good people like you all. I only deal with what

works for me. He is a pretty good doc. Ironically enough, you were talking

about aluminium today and I opened up my mail box with the results of the

heavy metals test and there it was HIGH aluminium. Will post results shortly

because I will need help. Dan! and I are scheduled to speak next week.
