Jamie -
just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know I
have a girlfriend in the Dallas area that I grew up
with - she's a CN (certified nutritionist) - she can
do a hair analysis for you - I can put you in touch
with her if you like - her heart is in helping people
and she's very knowledgeable about MS because of me -
you could probably send her some hair in an envelope -
I'm only guessing here but could work - I can find out
the cost for you - she would probably talk to you too
- let me know.........
