Re: Really worried about high VMA on OAT test

[Guest guest]

Similar results on my daughter's. I read the VMA could be elevated

because of yeast, but I posted and awaiting response from anyone who

could share more info.

One possible reason for increased VMA is a growth spurt. High VMA is a poor

marker for tumor growth in children especially in homvanillic acid is not

elevated.

High VMA was listed as one of the marker for mercury poisoning on Dr

Amy Holmes' website. My son's is also elevated. Kim
