New York, NY (PRWEB) December 27, 2005 -- Jetti Katz Labs (NY,NY) and

LookForHealth announce a licensing agreement for the technology developed by

Look

For Health for its proprietary test panels for gastrointestinal dysfunction in

children wih Pervasive Developmental Disorder including those with ADD, ADHD

and Autism. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

“We are more than excited to have a lab of such prestige and renown†come

aboard to perform the stool testing†states Dr. Joan Fallon, CEO of Look For

Health. “Jetti Katz lab and its medical director Dr. John Asher are well known

in the GI community, and Dr. Asher’s presence in this project is an honorâ€

further states Fallon.

Jetti Katz Lab best known for its tropical medicine work has an 80 year

history of performing the very testing that is necessary to examine the

gastrointestinal health of the children with PDD. Utilized by many fortune 500

companies, its director Dr. John Asher is a nationally recognized expert in the

field of tropical medicine, and gastrointestinal health who regularly appears as

a expert on TV and radio. His expertise is regularly sought by the medical

community both nationally and internationally

LookForHealth’s proprietary and patented work has demonstrated that children

with PDD including ADD, ADHD, and autism have gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Questions regarding the gastrointestinal health of children with PDD and other

conditions have been placed into question over the last few years. These

test panels which include a screening panel and more definitive panels will

allow the practitioner a unique window into the gastrointestinal health of the

child.

Undigested protein and fat can potentially become allergens and cause

substantial problems for the child. Further, these problems can create an

environment where pathogens can begin to flourish and these test panels are

designed

to detect the antigenic presence of pathologic bacteria and viruses which can

cause illness in the child.

“This agreement allows the child with autism, ADD and ADHD and others access

to the finest laboratory in the US for detecting GI pathogens and functional

changes in the gastrointestinal tract.†states Fallon " Dr. Asher’s expertise

will no doubt be a value to the thousands of children with these disorders.

If a parent or physician are interested in learning more or ordering a

testing panel further questions can be addressed by calling: Jetti Katz Labs
