Hii...
I'd be very interested in having OAT testing done if I really felt it was genuine. The problem is that there's a lot of scientific jargon thrown around and it feels quite like the 23andMe bandwagon that everyone jumped on a few years ago. But quite a bit turned out to be hogwash.
This is from Great Plains Laboratory: "The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with over 70 markers. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. The cause of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors.
