Targeted Amino Acid Therapy: Re: The Epidemic of Mental Illness - brain[ti] AND plasticity[ti] - amino acids

[Guest guest]

What would be the best way to find a practitioner that does both urine and

plasma amino acid testing?

 

Thank you

, it's my understanding that there are two primary places that offer this

in the U.S.: Neurogistics or NeuroScience. From what I've read though, this kind

of testing and use of targeted amino acid therapy (TAAT) is much more common in

Europe.

Neurogistics is willing to work with families directly. I believe that they have

a social worker on staff who does the intakes, etc. For kids who are very orally

defensive and struggle with taking oral supplements, I think that they have

creme formulations of many of their supplements that can be applied to an area

of the skin that is thinner, e.g. behind the knee.

Here is Neurogistics' link:

http://www.neurogistics.com/index.asp

NeuroScience is the older program (the head of Neurogistics used to work at

NeuroScience), but they will not work directly with families. Therefore, you

have to work with your DAN! doctor, homeopath, naturopath, etc. who will serve

as the professional liaison with them.

Here is the link for NeuroScience:

I have no connection with either business but know quite a few families who have

used (TAAT) with good results. I'm contemplating trying this with my daughter

and have an appointment coming up with our naturopathic doctor.

HI,

My training as a DAN MD indicates looking at urine neuro transmitters is not

helpful as we have 2 brains. the first is in ones head and the other is in the

gut. The gut produces much more neurotransmitters than the brain in the head. So

neurotransmitters would be hard to decipher as to which source. Thoughts?

Regards

Doug Hulstedt MD

I use oat andsometimes will rx pan amino acids for apparent deficiencies.
