amino acids, excess of lysine and taurine

[Guest guest]

MetaMetrix Clinical Laboratories www.metametrix.com has a useful book called

Laboratory Evaluations in Molecular Medicine

Nutrients, Toxicants, and Cell Controls written by J. Alexander Bralley and

Richard S. Lord. Chapter 4 is on amino acids

http://www.metametrix.com/docs/book/ch4.htm. Its a PDF file and may take a

few seconds to load. This free publication provides useful information,

including low/high amino acids analysis results in the first few pages.

We've used MetaMetrix for fatty acid testing. You may find their services

useful for your son. Best wishes. Wanda
