Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 I know that lots of folks have had the hair and saliva tests done and are using the values to monitor their intakes of nutrients, etc...I think that this is great. There is one problem. My physician, who is 'supposed' to be alternative is having trouble testing 'independent' online labs AND the Great Smokies Lab in Asheville, NC apparently does not do a full hormone assay----just the gonadotropins. I find this hard to believe but the office nurse said that is the information that she obtained. (They won't give prices to patients) I know that there are online labs that do the saliva test but why wouldn't the Great Smokies Lab do it? Anyway, I want to get some labs done, as I never have had it documented that what I am experiencing can be scientifically documented, and I need to either get a script from the Doc or use the online labs so that I can have it in my chart, if you know what I mean.....j TK wrote: > > > > If I can talk the doc into it, which tests are recommend when you > only > > have a choice of a couple? > > TK--- Tests for what ? not clear on what you are asking for.
