Do You Know About TruDOSE?

I recently came across a novel treatment at an autism conference that has been used in regenerative medicine which is creating traction.

We learn in school about platelets’ clotting abilities, but they also can trigger cell production and tissue regeneration.

The regenerative treatment known as TruDOSE platelet therapy uses the healing power of the body’s platelets to restart the body’s immune and repair systems to reduce systemic inflammation.

Many studies have shown that there is neuroinflammation occurring in ASD, so it would make sense that this treatment could be therapeutic

The procedure involves testing a few drops of blood and analyzing it using the TruDose technology to personalize a dose treatment plan.

The blood is then drawn from the arm, spun down by centrifuge and the platelets are then administered back into the arm through an IV.

This is similar to a therapy known as platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections which have been used for years to increase the concentration of growth factors to accelerate the healing process.

Like stem cell treatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and fecal occult microbial transplantation, TruDose is not an FDA-approved therapy for autism.

As we know, there’s no magic bullet but it’s always exciting to hear when there are new options available.

I mention this because families should know all the available possibilities to consider.

More clinics are starting to use TruDose in the US.

As with other therapies, it is important to do your due diligence and collaborate with your provider to determine what’s best for your child.
