Thursday, January 24th, 2008We got back last week’s VMA/HVA and it is good. VMA 4.6 (same) HVA 8.5 (down from 10.5). The Veg F number is 333. It was 31 in October. It is now five times normal. Five times normal is never a good thing. Veg F is an inflammatory marker and can signal cancer, it can also signal […]
