What Causes Higher Levels Of Potassium And Copper In A Child?
Hi, my son is 4 and 1/2 still does not talk and does not socialize much. He is under ABA therapy and he is improving a lot. We have been doing some blood and hair tests. He is high in potassium and copper (sodium is ok) and low in vitamine D, no heavy metal intoxication. Any idea if we should check something in particular? Any vitamin he should take? Presently, he is taking omega 3 and 6 and multivitamins. Thank you very much.
