Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Yes, it looks the same for magnesium content. But the RBC test and EXATEST I took both checked several minerals including sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus for those the prices I mentioned. Seems like a deal if your only looking for magnesium levels. --- Zoe & <ZOEA@...> wrote: > , do you think this RBC test would be equivalent to the one you mention? > > RBC MAGNESIUM -- LEF > This test is used to evaluate magnesium deficiency. $66 for members. $117 for > non-members. > http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/itemLC080283.html > > Zoe > > > I megadosed on mag for 3 months and then took an > EXATEST and it showed I was still mag deficient!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Those are just some of the minerals that are checked. It also checks for Toxins. http://www.doctorsdata.com/test_info.asp?id=7 --- Zoe & <ZOEA@...> wrote: > , I haven't been able to find a link for an RBC test checking sodium, > potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.
