Re: Has anyone does testing with metametrix? What test would this be?

[Guest guest]

--What test would show the malformed red blood cells?

I use to be a dental assisitant and I was exposed to lots of mercury.

It just never showed up. I don't have but three amalgams.

Some of the labs that I have done testing with were much better than

the ususal labs.

I had several tests done with spectra cell and they were abnormal.

When I had b12 tested it was ok with lab cor but when it went to

spectra cell it was half of normal.

Also the immune tests my CD 3 was low at Lab core but when it went

to AAL labs it was much more detailed.

Some of those were well worth it.

It was during all the years I spent going to ND drs and having

electro dermal testing and then using homeopathy that I used a lot

of money and stayed sick.

I still feel bad and after so many years my body is getting worse

and not just my head. I had a CAT scan years ago when I went to a

sleep DR. I have seen at least 6 sleep neurologists.

The idea about inflammation just seemed to be something that might

be part of this head feeling.

I have done searches and things show up but most of the articles are

over my brain.

The Metramedix test is suppose to show a lot of things. I have

heard that Dr Sherry recommends it.

I went to her several years ago.

Her books were good but I didn't get much out of my 5 day appt.

I don't know this test, but you're 100% right in saying that some labs are better than others. Much better. Teaching hospital labs are often very good. I also liked Spectracell for their detailed reports on my nutritional status. I've done a lot of those kinds of tests, but theirs was by far the most specific and accurate, and I didn't look as nearly depleted as I had been led to believe by some of the ND types. Believe me, I feel your pain over the fortunes we've spent on this illness. I need to have a very strong leaning now, before jumping into anything. So many pie-in-the-sky promises. penny irishdrought1955 <irishdrought1955@...> wrote: --What test would show the malformed red blood cells?I use to be a dental assisitant and I was exposed to lots of mercury.It just never showed up.
