Details

April is the month where many organizations focus on raising awareness of Autism, and Metametrix would like to contribute by generating awareness of the laboratory tests that can help to uncover metabolic factors that may be treated in each individual with this complex disease. Practitioners who enter this field need a guide to treating the underlying problems that prevent patients with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) from returning to normal behavior and metabolic function.

In these informative video clips, Dr. Richard Lord and Dr. Todd LePine discuss:

• Laboratory testing
• Gastrointestinal disturbances
• Inflammatory stress
• Mercury toxicity
• Food allergies
• Immune systems fortifications
• Vitamin insufficiencies
• Genetic factors

Take a few moments to view these videos and see how specific laboratory tests can give you valuable information on moving forward with ASD treatment protocols.
