Clostridia Bacteria, Autism, and the Organic Acids Test (OAT)
Kurt Woeller, DO, FMAPS
Overview
Mosaic Diagnostics is proud to sponsor Clostridia Bacteria, Autism, and the Organic Acids Test (OAT) by Kurt Woeller, DO.
The organic acids test (OAT) has long been used to analyze gut microbe imbalances, including bacteria, candida, and mold. The clostridia bacterial markers on the OAT are a critical component of this test that has important clinical significance for individuals with an autism-spectrum disorder. This lecture from Kurt N. Woeller, DO, FMAPS of Integrative Medicine Academy will go this topic in detail, and he will also provide new information on other related compounds such as propionic acid, certain fatty acids/metabolites, and cellular protein dysregulation that can be affected by the presence of clostridia bacteria.
NOTE: This is a one-time, live event. A day after the live broadcast, the webinar will be available to watch at mosaicdx.com/resources
