They do extensive biochemical testing of blood, urine and hair samples looking for patterns of deficiencies and specific biochemical imbalances. Then, they prescribe and compound custom supplements to address these imbalances. At least one of their physicians is a DAN doctor and they are doing extensive research on autism as it relates to a metabolic error in the metal metabolism process. It is fascinating and ties together all the gut-brain-metal issues, IF it turns out to be what they think. They have a website www.hriptc.org with a lot of information. Incidentally, they highly encourage the GFCF diet for all children with ASD--at least a trial. So, there was someone out there who didn't think I was nutty for doing this diet. Fondly, J--mom to Graham (7 yrs, probable Asperger's syndrome) and Hayley (11 yrs, mild ADD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
