Researcher Akerfeldt is clearly over that hurdle: in a jampacked meeting last week U.S. researchers said that they had duplicated his method with minor variations, adding a chemical called DPP (for N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylene diamine) to serum specimens and getting the red reaction from patients with serious mental illnesses and some other diseases. (One notable exception: patients who have had schizophrenia a long time.)
