Summary:[...]Tondo's logic is faulty when he asks which ingredient is effective. [...]Tondo displays a lack of familiarity with the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) when he asserts that the ingredients in this formula are up to ten times the ‘allowed’ amounts. [...]it may be in their best interests to do so: the one study published thus far that included costing information demonstrated that broad-spectrum micronutrient treatment (which resolved the symptoms) cost <2% of conventional in-patient care (which was not therapeutically helpful). [...]none of the investigators has any conflict of interest.
