Organic Acid Test (OAT)

Hello there,

Remember there is no cure for autism, as of yet.

Most "Leaky Gut Syndrome" testing is promoted by Great Plains Laboratory, who have shifted to different target demographics over around 30 years. ME, Insomnia, Diabetes, Acne, Eczema, Huntington's Disease, risk of stroke, risk of dementia, HIV related complications, ADHD, Depression, Cancer, Headaches, "Mood changes", and things such as premature aging, plus weight gain.

Seems like it is the solution for everything. Which makes me all the more doubtful.

I find it very hard to trust in it just because of the way the marketing targets extreme desperation, fear of death, and things that may cause extreme insecurities. Desperation, fear, and despair are powerful marketing tools to some. 

It also targets conditions that haven't been sufficiently researched yet. Including autism.

Remember autism is in a stage where it is still being understood, they don't even have a real, solid indication of what causes it. This leaves holes for the quacks to peddle their false therapies, and cures. Autism is a relatively untapped revenue stream, but companies, and modern day Snake Oil salesmen are realising this quickly. This "therapy" is mainly marketed in the US, remember they also have ABA in the US, which is basically torture, which parents pay for, and causes more problems than it solves. They also market Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to parents, which basically does nothing.

Here a are a few articles highlighting the validity of OAT testing, also called Intestinal Permeability Testing. Lab Tests Online is peer reviewed, so it's quite trustworthy.

This guy is a big advocate of OAT. He has a big online presence and is a media figure.

Read the list of what he says it can do. Impossible.

Read the part "From Dr. Jockers". Any doctor that says "Many years ago God spoke into me and gave me a vision of my life. He put a passion inside my heart to clean the living temple of God by creating a powerful resource for community health and clean, principled living. As I pursued this vision, God blessed me with the knowledge, skills, and education to instruct, encourage and empower individuals to have more faith in their own God-given ability to heal naturally."

He's throwing a bit of religious stuff in there too to exploit the faithful, in my opinion.

I'm not knocking you for looking into it, far from it, helping your children, and yourself manage easier is admirable.

A bit ranty, but I hate to see people exploited.

All the best to you and yours,

Cloudy
