Andy someone - pls help with intrepreting Metametrix Fatty Acids test

[Guest guest]

We are into 20 months of chelation(AC protocol - 83rd weekend round)

for my 8.5 yr son somewhat verbal(with chelation). We have seeing

steady progress with improvements in many areas but speech is still a

major issue. We just did the fatty acids to rule out any metabolic

issues. Any help in intrepreting this test is greatly appreciated(I

have put this in the descending order with tab delimited based on

Andy's post in the archives about posting fatty acids test).

It would be the most convenient if you can scan the report and upload it to the

files

section.

If not I will need to know the asserted reference ranges as well as the results.

WHen you get this done send me the post number of the message discussing it in

private

email so I can find it on the web interface for the list.

What my son needed for speech is written here

I can't interpret your fatty acid test, but I can tell you that my son

needed mito cocktail before he properly absorbed fats

He seems to need more EFA's generally. This suggests using assorted vegetable

oils like canola, soy and adding some flax or fish oil. Also he needs a lot of

vitamin E to retain and use them (or they get oxidized), and mixing some of that

in the bottles of oil, and refrigerating them, will help keep them fresh.
