Mosaic EDGE (formerly GPL Academy) has been educating practitioners for over 15 years on how to help patients heal through cutting-edge testing, research and protocols. During our recent Environmental Toxin Summit, conducted on November 6-8, 2020, speakers reviewed patient cases, explained how to use diagnostic tests for toxins, pathogens, and metabolic imbalances in their practice, […]

In the 1960’s, a great deal of progress had been made in discovering the biochemical abnormalities that caused a number of diseases called “inborn errors of metabolism” using a technology called gas […]
