Re: --liver enzymes - testing lab process

[Guest guest]

Randy, not sure where I had my tests done, but during a bad herx, I had

blood tests done by a regular doc and he was freaked out that my liver

enzymes were so high.

Not much he could do about it tho,

Hi

I'm curious can anyone order those tests from genevia diagnostics or dies an

ND have to order/sponsor the tests?

Thanks much

Wishing you Light & Love & Ease of well being

Polymorphisms are variations in the gene-- some percentage of the population

has the less efficient form of each gene. I happen to have 9 of them. The

test was done by Genova Diagnostcs, which you can find online. The report

they sent with the results was very thorough. For each polymorphism they

detailed what things I couldn't process well, what the likely effects of

this would be and some suggestions for offsetting it.

and I take a lot of milk thistle and other liver support herbs, as well as a

lot of anti-oxidants. With conventional medicine I definitely take smaller

doses since they stay in my system much longer.

To clarify-- the test I'm talking abut has nothing to do with liver enzyme

levels. It's a genetic test that looks at variations in the genes that control

different liver enzymes. You need to have a doc order it and who can do so

varies by state. Mine was ordered by a naturopath in Vermont.
