Re: PDD-NOS. ADHD, motor and sensory problems HELP

[Guest guest]

My son's doctor is a pediatric allergist/immunologist DAN

practiotioner, did all that testing on our son, plus environmental

allergy testing, all except the hair as it is illegal in NY, I am

having it done myslef thru an out of state relative. His name is Dr.

Boris in Woodbury New York. We started the whole process beginning of

May, and we are quite pleased so far with my son's response. My son

has motor problems , sensory problems attention problems, and had

recently developed autistic type behaviors, after bad reactions after

MMR and Varivax last summer.Our son is 5.

Hi Margaret,

where do you live?

While you are looking for a doctor, you can order the hair test

yourself through www.directlabs.com , it's $89 and you don't need a

prescription.

we are very pleased with Dr.Usman.

Hello Margaret,

One option is that, if you want to, you can order many tests

on your own, through Direct Lab Services. There is info about

that, here:

This does not resolve your practitioner question, of course.

But it MAY help you figure out about if he is metal toxic.

good wishes,

Moria
