Pyroluria is a disorder of some sort where your body cannot hold onto zinc and b6. Both are needed to manage stress. So if this is a problem, your adrenals will be affected. I tested through the roof on with this. Not everybody believes this is real - it may be a symptom of something else - metal toxicity? But either way, you have to replenish b6/zinc if you're not holding onto it. The doc said it could take awhile to balance out. ---------Val, how did this doc know to test for this, or what symptoms made him suspect it?---------Jackie The test is simple and doesn't require a doctor. It's about $80 and consists of sending a urine sample to a lab. -----------Do you mean through Direct Labs?----------Jackie Quote

But there are others that will test for $50. The lab in Kansas had doctors on call that would discuss the results with you. If you google pyroluria you'll find a ton of info on it. > > > > Quote

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Val and Jackie, I'm curious about the pyroluria issue, as I have seen it mentioned numerous times during my research on anxiety/depression and metal toxicity. I'm curious, do either of you have any problems with anxiety and/or panic? Thanks - Michele > > > > > ---------Val, how did this doc know to test for this, or what > symptoms made him suspect it?---------Jackie > > ***** I had myself tested.
