All participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on their dietary habits and their health experiences subsequent to any dietary change. A selected group of those who complete the questionnaires will be asked to supply specimens of saliva, urine, blood, and stool for analysis of blood type, liver function, amino acid profiles, lipid levels, digestive function, intestinal parasites, food antibodies, carnitine status, vitamin B-12 levels, mineral status, and many other parameters. Results of the analysis of the questionnaire data and laboratory tests will be made available to all participants.
