Hi, thanks for the feedback, I looked through a few databases today, and found nothing on pyroluria.. I don't want to create false hope.. but according to this site, perhaps by a naturopathic doctor.. I'm not sure, there are six centers that test for it.. and some articles dealing with the condition, only a couple in the past two years.. it's very discouraging.. if one thinks that was a real hope..
thanks
