Re: [Everything doTERRA] Re: OnGuard v MDCK cells (study) - query

I'm glad we have such demanding clients, Dan, it helps us learn and understand more!

Thanks for following up on your question, I read the study, but my lay brain couldn't make much sense of it.

After some reading, the closest to an explanation that I can get to,
is that MDCK cells are commonly used as a means of testing drugs and

understanding that MDCK cells are very good for testing as they
produce reliable results, and the cells are very generic with human
cells.

Not very technical... but that's the answer I gave and the lady was
happy enough.
