Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 This is a very interesting article, at least since I read that the Bb changes iron in our bodies to manganese, I wonder if there is a test to determine the levels of manganese in our bodies? It sure would explain my nervous system damage.
