He is apparently a firm believer in alternative medicine. He is also attending a neurologist who feels that messurement of gadolinium levles may assist in easing his concerns. He has already had a range of metals measured at a laboratory in germany that support his belief ( following a chelating agent) as it found high levels of copper, iron, and gadolinium in his urine. Does anybody provide a service for the measurement of gadolinium, preferably within the NHS, and what are the arrangements for sampling and cost etc. Regards, Michael Ryan _____________________________________________ From: Esmonde, Tom Sent: 25 October 2012 15:45 To: Ryan, Michael Subject: Reminder GADOLINUM LEVELS?
