I appoligize, but the acronyms MAH and MAS are new to me. Could you please expand. (I work for the Federal Government of Canada, so you'd think I'd be used to acronyms - og figure).

Thanks

Peter

Dear Bill,

Only a licensed physician can order the tests. Since they change so often, and need to be matched to the person, you will just have to go to a doc to answer these questions.

The ones I am familiar with are expensive & not very accurate even if they are positive. Since I have not ordered one for more than 10 years, even the costs would be outdated.

Once I learned that putting a name on a condition was mostly a waste of time--IF the person wanted to be well rather than spend thie life "treating" the symptoms--I no longer needed to lable things so much.
