Educational Seminar

Dates for 2010 Applying Laboratory Evaluations Seminars

Video clip of Dr. Richard Lord speaking on Amino Acids at the December ALE seminar.

This seminar is geared toward clinicians who want to expand their practices and improve clinical outcomes by effectively integrating functional laboratory testing.

The basics of amino acids, organic acids, GI function, and IgG4 responses are covered over the course of 2 days. Networking opportunities are also offered to meet other clinicians using functional testing to improve clinical outcomes.

"The ALE Seminar provided very exciting information. The material was very well presented, pertinent, and passionate. I'm really looking forward to treating my patients utilizing these lab services."
