Just HAD to share this one..

What do you all think? Would this picture qualify to document Salamander's "significant improvement"? (in response to a request that Stan Kurtz put out on various biomed listserves.. he is working on a video tribute to Dr. Rimland and has asked for pictures of recovered or significantly improved kiddos).

Not that long ago, just the thought of Potatey touching him would have sent Salamander into "flight or fight"....

Got Salamander's most recent Urine Amino Acid test report back today.. the improvements are nothing but spectacular. For the first time in 3 years all essential amino acids are WITHIN RANGE!! And he is not taking any amino acid supplements (beyond a very good multivitamin that has trace levels of only a few of the essentials..).. this improvement is the direct result of very targeted supplementation of his metabolic pathways, so his body can actually USE the foods he's taking in. I am in the process of figuring out how to get some of Salamander's test reports added to the blog..
