Sciona's genetic testing

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Here's a URL for " Cellf Genetic Assessments, " by the lab Sciona. These

genetic tests can be ordered online without a prescription and can be

done without a blood draw. This might make them attractive to those

who are bedbound or housebound .

I had a hard time accessing their website--maybe it is overwhelmed

because there was a short article about Sciona in Sunday's newspaper

supplement.

and

Included with the test results are suggestions for lifestyle

changes--which might be worthless--but the SNP results would at least

give us a basis for further research. If anyone has time to compare

Sciona's gene choices with those made by Genovations, I'd love to know

how they differ. When I get a spare minute I'll compare them with Amy

Yasko's choices.

groupings of tests below, combined. There's some overlap, and I

haven't counted the total in the comprehensive.

Here's the sort of information they give you on their website--the name

of the gene and the variations of that gene that they screen for:
