Show Notes

Today, I am very honored to introduce Dr. Bill Shaw. William Shaw, PhD is the founder of Great Plains Laboratory (now Mosaic Diagnostics Laboratory). With over 25 years in running Great Plains Lab, Dr. Shaw developed cutting edge testing such as the Organic Acids Test and has published important research into the adverse health effects of certain fungal and clostridia bacterial compounds. Dr. Shaw is board certified in the fields of clinical chemistry and toxicology by the American Board of Clinical Chemistry. Before he founded Great Plains, Dr. Shaw worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Children’s Mercy Hospital, University of Missouri at Kansas City School of Medicine, and Smith Kline Laboratories. He is the author of “Biological Treatments for Autism and PDD”, originally published in 1998 and “Autism: Beyond the Basics”, published in 2009. He is also a frequent speaker at conferences worldwide. His collective work in the fields of metabolic diseases, toxicology, laboratory technology and assessments have served the medical community for decades. Many medical professionals and patient populations, including those with autism, mental health, and neurodegenerative disorders, have all received significant benefits from the information brought forth by Dr. Shaw. He is a personal hero of mine and his work has been tremendously helpful for my dad and family.

Today, we discuss a fascinating pediatric disease, hypokalemic paralysis, observed in two young brothers. This neurological disease highlights the critical role of potassium and ion channel function. The discussion with a neurologist further explores genetic research into such conditions. Hope this is helpful for you and your family!
