Get Dr. Bock's " The 4 A's " . You can go to " generationrescue " to get more

suggestions for books. My advice is to do your homework first. There are a log

of things you can do before going to a DAN! We've been going to a DAN! for

almost 2 years now and have had incredible improvements. Read first - educate

yourself.

planning to do some more changes. I am hopeful as he has already made some

progress in the two weeks.

Are you already doing the fish oil supplements? Here is a link from Dr Agin's

(The Late Talker) website with more info http://www.dbpny.com/nutrition.html.

We do the Nordic Naturals 3-6-9 and the EPA. We are going to see a DAN dr next

month to talk about further testing. I just got the 4 A's book (the actual

title is Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma and

Allergies) and also The LCP Solution by B Stordy, Ph.D. We are also looking

into MB12 shots for to help with speech. I agree with the other poster

that you have to do your own research first before you see a DAN.

a few of the test we had run for gut issues were:

~tissue Transglutaminase IGA, Serum

~IGA, serum

~fat qualitative, Fecal

~Pancreatic elastase, stool

~food panel IgE (which is a food panel that checks 7 of the most commom

allergies, but doen't check for gluten)

these are through his insurance

out-pocket were:

~Comprehensive food panel, IgG (this food panel checks over 70 foods including

gluten and rates the allergy from a 1 to 3)

~Metabolic Analysis profile (this test checks on yeast, bacterial and

malabsoption markers, which is neat because one of the markers tells if the

child is under stress!!)

~OAT- Orgainic Acid Test (this is one of the first test we did, It is a test

that people get when they are baby to make sure levels in the body are where

they need to be. To recheck this test by doing it again helped us know where my

son's levels where of his body)
