Who has tried amino acid testing?

[Guest guest]

After a week of amino acids Deb Merlin's boy totally improved. His

diagnosis was somewhere between ADHD/autism. His essential amino acid

levels were low to very low: He was very low in isoleucine, leucine,

lysine, histidine, valine, phenlylalanine. He was low in all the

others. His glycine,serine,taurine levels also quite low; his

asparagine, glutamic acid levels were low. His only high amino acid

was ornithine. I don't know why more docs don't test for amino acids.

I am getting this done for my kids at the moment. He is still on amino

acids to this day, and is getting As in college. He was a D student.He

was already on a casein free diet, tried an antifungal w/o much

success. They also gave him fish oil, taurine, GABA, inositol, B6 and

a multi. His facial tics and oppositional behaviour totally

disappeared. cath
