William Shaw, PhDIMCJ Integrative Medicine • Vol. 16, No. 1 • February 2017 Abstract Context: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder for which a number of genetic, environmental, and nutritional causes have been proposed. Glyphosate is used widely as a crop desiccant and as an herbicide in fields of genetically modified foods that are glyphosate resistant. Several […]
William Shaw, PhDAutism Parenting Magazine, Issue 66 After working on the causes of autism for almost 25 years, one of the most fascinating and puzzling aspects has been the marked increase in autism that has been noted over the last 30 years. To qualify as a cause of autism, the factor needs to be something […]
Townsend Letter – January 2019 Measuring the Mind Measurement is the basis of all scientific medicine. Clinical diagnoses, treatments, and success rates all rely on definitive, quantifiable data that can be accurately assessed, evaluated, and monitored. Numbers allow physicians to create comparable references and scales that identify and characterize a condition and its severity. Discrete data […]
William Shaw, PhD; Matthew Pratt-Hyatt PhDTownsend Letter – November 2019 Abstract Seven different mycotoxins, including aflatoxin M1, ochratoxin A, sterigmatocystin, zearalenone, roridin E, verrucarin A, and enniatin B1 that have been associated with human illness were tested by LC/MS/ MS in urine samples of a control group of 89 healthy adult volunteers and 103 adult […]
Sidney Baker, MD; William Shaw, PhDIMCJ Integrative Medicine • Vol. 19, No. 4 • August 2020 Abstract Context: A child with symptoms placing him within the autism spectrum and with urine biochemical markers consistent with fungal (Aspergillus) colonization of the gastrointestinal tract was first treated with the antifungal probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii. A dramatic Herxheimer reaction provided strong clinical indications that […]
Since the creation of the Organic Acid Test, by William Shaw, PhD, many people have found answers to lingering health questions that could not otherwise be explained. To many seasoned and new practitioners, the wonders of the OAT have been known, but oftentimes practitioners still pose the question: When should I run an OAT? This […]
On March 25-27, 2022, Mosaic EDGE (formerly GPL Academy) hosted the Mold and Toxins: Integrative Strategies & Protocols live-streamed online. This three-day event focused on the epidemics of toxin exposure, including both toxic chemicals in our environment and mycotoxins from mold. These toxins can cause symptoms of many acute and chronic health disorders. Those who […]
Jim Adams found that in an evaluation of hair samples from children with autism that lithium values were significantly lower in young children of autism and their mothers. I have made similar observations on many children with autism tested through The Great Plains Laboratory. The lithium values of some children with autism are in the […]
The dysbiosis marker 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxypropionic acid (HPHPA), the predominant dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid isomer in urine, is also measured in the Organic Acids Test offered by The Great Plains Laboratory. This marker was proven by Dr. William Shaw to be due to a combination of human metabolism and the metabolism by a group of Clostridia species, including but not […]
TEST IMPLICATIONS FOR YEAST AND HEAVY METALSWILLIAM SHAW, PH.D. What are Oxalates? Oxalate and its acid form oxalic acid are organic acids that are primarily from three sources: the diet, from fungus such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, and possibly Candida (1-9), and also from human metabolism (10). Oxalic acid is the most acidic organic acid in […]
