Make a Microloan for 5-yr old Joshua's Health!

This loan is being repaid!



First Posted On: September 20, 2010

Name: Joshua Z.

Age: 5 years old

Location: South Carolina, USA

Diagnosis: Autism

Loan Sought: $450

Loan Needed For: TRIAD Profile test (blood & urine) for metabolic and nutritional needs

Repayment Terms: 12 months ($37.50/month)

Other Notes: Joshua's mom, Jackie, writes, "Joshua was diagnosed with autism at my urging. We knew something was not typical and refused to believe that he was just a 'Late Talker;' there were many other signs as well. Luckily with persistence and therapy, he is a high-functioning little guy with autism. We started Joshua on a regiment of Cod Liver Oil, chelation baths, and B12 Patches. We have seen much improvement in his abilities to focus, as well as a decrease in his anxiety!!

My husband is self employed as a contractor, and, lately, as with most people these days, we are struggling to make ends meet.

We are requesting a loan for the TRIAD test, which is from blood and urine, to get more information on Joshua's body's needs. The test covers: Vitamin and mineral sufficiency; Insufficiencies of carnitine and NAC; Oxidative stress and antioxidant sufficiency; Detoxification adequacy; Functional status of B-vitamins; Neurotransmitter metabolism; Mitochondrial energy production; Methylation sufficiency status; Lipoic acid and CoQ10 sufficiency; Specific markers of bacterial and yeast dysbiosis; Essential amino acids sufficiency; Food sensitivities; and Intestinal hyperpermeability."
