How good are the reference ranges and what affects them? When is it good to do tests together or repeat them? When is a LOW value important?

Susan Owens, MAIS
Susan Owens, graduate of Vanderbilt University, began her work in autism as a graduate student at UTDallas in 1995. Her service over sixteen years has included membership in the DAN! thinktank with a detailed exploration of the sulfur issues in autism and, in the last six years, how autism is affected by the toxicity of oxalate to the gut and mitochondrion. She has analyzed labwork from many hundreds of children to find out HOW to study autism and spoken at more than 50 conferences worldwide.
