“well see i would disagree with that i think that there is going to be some in the blood you can do a provocation but the problem with provocation is there's no standardization and then people i think that if people have levels of lead or mercury or arsenic that are problematic you're going to see it in the blood i see it in my clients in the blood all the time i think blood is actually pretty good for these you you can't really tell what's stored in the bones too well but you can do a provocation but then again if you do a provocation with msa or dmso or eta you're not there's no way to standardize that”
