Amy, your information has been noted and will be passed on to Dr. Rosenthal, who I am sure will be in touch with him. No one from LIFE/AFA has contacted him as we are not the professionals who will be doing the research. I really think he would prefer to have a colleague discuss this with him as opposed to a bunch of lay-people. LIFE/AFA are only facilitating the funding for the research, not performing the research. We would prefer to leave that to the professionals. Anne Ryan [Posted in FML issue 2954]
