Digest Number 1882

[Guest guest]

 

 

Thanks for your reply. While I was surprised by the results of the first

test I never seriously considered whether or not they were erroneous and

in answer to your question they were never checked for error. How would

one go about checking for such an error?

 

Also, thanks for the info about the Naturopathic therapies. I will look

into that. Do you know if there are online resources discussing these

therapies? Do you think it would be possible for me to educate myself

enough to employ these methods on my own or is some background in

Naturopathy really required?

 

Thanks again.

 

Sincerely,

 

Greg
