All the blood tests that we ought to do - suggestions pls

[Guest guest]

The Triad Test at Metametrix is a good overview profile to do. It includes

an Organic Acids profile (urine), food allergy testing and amino acids. Add

on Fatty Acid Profile (blood) and urinary porphyrins and you will have an

overall picture of what is happening. If there are red flags, you can always

do

more.

Regarding the frozen blood; certain tests actually call for freezing, but

usually after centrifuge. You can call one of the labs to ask that question.'

Good luck

Hi

Since my spouse is a thalassemia carrier, we thought

we should get our ASD 7yo son tested.

What other blood tests are good to do - we don't want

to have to draw more blood from him in future as he is

getting bigger & more difficult to handle/hold?

Appreciate if anyone can suggests if the following are

good to have :

a) IgG, IgE blood tests & good labs to use

Food allergy tests (synonymous to IgG & IgE?)

c) Oxidative test or glutathione level tests (by Smokies

Lab or Dr Jill ?)

d)nutrient deficiency - I recalled someone mentioned

before on this list that there's a test which measures

how much mineral/nutrients is a person deficient so

that we can customize a vitamin+mineral+...(amino

acids?) + ..... to suit the person? Is this test done

at Pfeiffer Institute?

e) Sugar level test if any?

f) Thyroid, T3, ...... level?

g) any other tests worth doing?

Can extra blood be drawn, frozen & in case future

tests are needed, we just test the frozen/dried blood?

Any suggestions on how best to draw blood from an

uncooperative 1.37meter tall kid is most welcomed

Thanks
