Brier,
I can say that I did see (correction, we all did see) very obvious
improvements in the first round. In the areas of socialisation and speech .
By the third round one of his teachers (4.5 yrs of ABA) said "he has changed
more in three weeks than in the past three years". I know not every child
responds so quickly and not getting improvements in the first round does not
mean that you will not get any improvements further along. So one round
would not be diagnostically useful. If they were my test results I would go
for for it. There is no level at which these toxins are safe for out
children in my opinion.
