A member asked:

Is kryptopyroluria real? or is it a bogus diagnosis

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Dan Fisher answered

Kryptopyrroluria: Not main stream medicine. There is a lot of mention in the alternative medicine market, but it seems generally unsubstantiated and some of it is clearly odd.
