Members responded to a parent in Corona, CA searching for a biomedical specialist to help their 9-year-old autistic son, with several recommending specific doctors and resources including Dr. Karima Hirani, Dr. Pantea Hannauer at Pediatric Minds in Torrance, and the TACA website's list of MAPS doctors by state. Several members shared encouraging personal experiences, including improvements seen through gluten-free and casein-free diets, gut health testing, and supplementation, with one noting that biomedical treatment revealed a dangerously high ammonia level that had been driving their child's aggression. A recurring theme was the power of parent-driven research, community support, and faith as families work hard to find solutions for their children.

I believe that "autism" encompasses many different disorders, some of which (including my son's) have metabolic issues that can be treated by supplementation and dietary changes. If we had not tested my son for biomedical treatment, he could have gone through life with an ammonia level in the 300's. Biomedical treatment for him resulted in resolution of the cause for aggression.

Just a quick question! When you started the biomed what was the first thing they did on your kid? What kind of tests they did? How long it took you see the improvement? Most of the good doctor are not in my insurance network. So I have to see!
