"My wife and I thank RTL for
the service you have provided for the past year. The staff at RTL have
been instrumental in saving Liana’s life.
My wife had a lesion in the
base of her brain associated with her sinuses. The diagnosis was
different in three different institutions. The mycotoxin data from RTL
enabled our doctors to give my wife antifungal drugs. The improvement
in her condition has been dramatic over the past month as the mycotoxin
levels have decreased.
Thank God for medical
professionals who are concerned about the cause and effect of toxigenic
black molds. Please keep up the great work you are doing. …… Nov
2007."
