Linda,
About six months ago I started seeing a doctor that incorporates Functional
Medicine into his practice. I am on many supplements and my health has
improved, but the lead levels have recently risen. He has me taking Metallo
Clear by Metagenics for thirty days and if there is not significant improvement
I will have to return to EDTA or DMSA. I will let you know the results.
