Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi: The plasma amino acid test and the custom blend were both recommended by a DAN doc, Dr. Cave, and came as part of a complete 'package' of supplements we worked up to. Enzymes and probiotics and Brainchild Vits and Mins were in place before we got to the aminos (actually all were in place before we even got to Dr. Cave). My daughter never had the ASD diagnosis, or any diagnosis. She was a late walker and a late talker (31 months for speech) but with above average receptive skills. She also had some sensory. As it turned out she had all the biomedical markers for autism and easily could have been one of those children who just.slipped. She is only partly vaccinated but I am loaded w/amalgam and my family history on both sides includes some auto-immune. Today she is thriving on the supplements and simply has a few remaining gut problems. Taking her to Dr. Cave was one of the best things we ever did. I should add that when we came home from our first visit to Dr. Cave with a boatload of supplements, I ran straight to a wonderful nutritionist I had at the time. Not only was she proficient at reading the test values, she is a gifted muscle tester. She helped me sequence the supplements. We didn't have any setbacks at all and I belive this was in part b/c this nutritionist told me how to add what Cave had recommended (We have since moved and I MISS this woman and havent been able to replace her skills yet - muscle testing is terrific when it is done properly but not everyone who claims to do it can do it you know?) Take care, Josie Josie, Was the plasma amino acid test & custom amino blend done by a DAN doctor or a regular doctor? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
