opinion needed on OAT

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody

Just got some OAT results for my two kids (one went from severe

autistic to Asperger , the second is PDD-nos) and I was wondering if

some of you might have an opinion on the following:

Both showed similar results:

high oxalates results (550 for one, 680 for the other, when the ref.

range is below 80).

Now, the strange thing is that my kids are both on LOD and have been

for over a year. I have no idea if their levels were even higher than

that before but has some of you ever got such high results.

sulfur metabolism (again, similar for both)

high homocystein

B6 ok

Glutathione reduced body stores

depletion GSH

cystein (ok)

deficiency folate (B9)

B12 (ok but close to low end)

Obviously this points to methylation problems (porphyrins testing

came ok except lead for both kids). So the good news is the mercury

is gone (compared to previous porphyrin) but the methylation pathway

are not corrected.

Anybody can explain to me why the cysteine levels are ok while the

rest is not (all the info I read keep saying cystein is often low..

and that points to B12 deficiency but somehow, my kids cysteine level

is ok... any idea?)

Thanks in advance for any opinion
