Becky,

The Metametrix Pediatric Ion Profile is the 'cadellac' of tests and it is the

one that requires 13 vials of blood and a urine sample as well. An EMLA patch

is definately required!!! A three year old could sit on Mommies lap

and......look away! We were a little panicy to say the least but that test was

worth every vial for the depth of information on Mark that we got in return. It

showed us so much.

Now, my environmental doctor uses a combonation of these tests that you have to

pay for and tests that are 'governement' paid for. BUT we are in Canada and so

I don't know how others have experienced this for you want all of the results to

end up at your DAN's office. Surely they must be able to guide you on this?

I we did the Metametrix test first and then from there did all of the other

testing (which was all govt paid exept the heavy metals test).

We did CBC, TSH (Thyroid), Ts1, Ts2, Autoimmune testing, IGE, Iron, B12 serum,

D serum and hemogobin.

I believe that has a list of 'regular' labs that you should have done

(with the pediatrician) in the links section under labs for apraxia. Check that

out.

[sPAM][ ] Need to know all the bloodwork info

Hello all-

We've talked so much about all these tests and such-- but I'm just a

beginner when it comes to the whole biomed and the supplements etc

I saw that there is a DAN Dr that is somewhat nearby, and I will try to

arrange a visit with them-- but BEFORE I do this, I want to be sure that I go

through my normal Pediatrician to get *ALL* of the possible blood tests that

we

may need for the DAN Dr.

I have to go through the insurance for this-- or the cost will be too

prohibitive-- so I wanted to prepare enough time to be able to do this since I

know

it takes a while sometimes for the results and to get into the DAN Dr

Soooo-- this is what I need to know from everyone--

I need the FULL list of the blood test and profile names of what tests I

want them to run.

Also-- I know that someone mentioned that one of the tests needed 13

vials??? Is that true?

I'm not sure how my 3 1/2 yr old will EVER tolerate blood being taken, but

13 vials on top of it??

Help-- any thoughts or suggestions on this one????

I know that people posts links to the archives-- but to give fair warning--

my archives have NEVER worked, so that's useless for me,

unfortunately, because I know there's TONS of information lurking in those

precious

archives

<sigh>

Thanks in advance--

Becky

It depends upon what the doc is looking for- yeast/bacteria/fungal

issues/parasites in gut are all done via urine and poop. There is

always a box in the form to check for insurance coverage.

There is also a test called Organic Oats - it is also a urine test

(24hr collection) which shows creatine levels and various metabolic

things.

As far as blood goes - we never had 13 vials drawn - but we are

dealing with young children. Beware of the EMLA cream in a very

young child. EMLA is a numbing cream that you rub on the site where

either an injection will be given, or blood will be drawn. It can

cause the blood vessels to be harder to find and draw from. There

is a medical explanation but I don't remember what it was. We got

poked double due to this!

Our Dan doctor always worked with our pediatrician - he would send

her the tests he wanted via fax, and she would write the orders for

the draw. I was upfront with our pediatrician about what we were

doing with the DAN and she was willing to work with us and him. She

also wrote the script for the B12 injections. The only time she

didn't agree was when we asked for a script for Diflucan due to

horrible yeast/fungal issues. She didn't feel comfortable writing

that script for a small child.

Insurance has always paid. We've never had Autism or PDD as the

diagnosis code - it has always been under something else GI

related. This was no lie as we were having major GI issues at that

time.

Good luck,

Stephanee
