So far, not yet known with certainty the cause of autism. One said that the concept of autism symptoms arising from environmental toxins or heavy metals that can not be cleaned because the child has a genetic weakness.

To detect levels of heavy metals in the body of the child, available hair test analysis to calculate the nutritional and toxic minerals.

Inside the hair, nails and teeth, the minerals in the small form is stored. This is because hair does not change the structure so that the mineral that is embedded in the hair and hair levels unchanged despite lengthening. "Human hair is a historical record that could reflect changes in metabolism," added Igor.

Examination through blood tests considered less accurate because of the heavy metal will disappear in a few hours and removed the body. Similarly, because it only reflects the tse urine levels of heavy metals released by the blood by the kidneys in the short term.

Hair analysis by collecting hair samples of the child. It takes approximately 600 milligrams of hair to find out 17 toxic heavy metals and 23 essential elements.

According to Igor, the key lies in the accuracy of hair analysis laboratory credibility and expertise of medical experts in interpreting the results of the analysis.
