Their main page describes their operation as one that "…provides specialty [sic] testing to healthcare practitioners around the world. A specialist and pioneer in essential and toxic elemental testing of multiple human tissues, the laboratory offers a wide array of functional testing. DDI’s tests are utilized in the assessment, detection, prevention, and treatment of heavy metal burden, nutritional deficiencies, gastrointestinal function, hepatic detoxification, metabolic abnormalities, and diseases of environmental origin."[2]

DDI sued the watchdog website Quackwatch in 2010 as a result of the latter's linking them and other organisations to the dubious practice of chelation therapy.[3]

The articles DDI is objecting to:

gollark: I will check, hold on.
gollark: Also that.
gollark: I really think you're overestimating how much people actually care. There have been various experiments regarding obedience and conformity which suggest that people will basically just do whatever people around them do.
gollark: Consider dying, for instance. People dying is quite bad for a variety of reasons, but because people can't really avoid it it got cognitive-dissonanced into being "good" in a ton of philosophies.
gollark: What?
