I just did the Salivary hormone profile from nptech and found my DHEA to be elevated above the normal ranges and my Cortisol to be just on par with the low ranges.

My Testosterone was crazy though. its 2389 when it should be 75 - 750 or something lol.

I plan on doing the thyroid panel as well and a blood serum of Testosterone and DHEAs to see if the results are high.

thanks joe. for a good comprehensive test that looks at defficiencies, and give indications for many problems, such as yeast, bacteria, parasites, etc, i highly recommend the Organic Acids Test.

WHAT TESTS DO PEOPLE RECOMMEND ON HERE!! PLEASE I NEED HELP AND NEED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD BE SPENDING MONEY ON AND NOT WASTING IT ON. THANKS

Which of these should I go for?

Serum Testosterone?(Since my levels were crazy in saliva test)
Do males do Estrogen and oestrodial tests?
Vitamin B12 (may contribute to depression??
Serum Folate (as Above)
Ferritin (Might have something to do with thyroid)
Iron/TIBC ??
Serum Insulin (Sugar levels?)
Liver Function Test (Not sure?)
Urea And Electrolytes (may show potassium levels and others)

Serum DHEAs (Might see if elevated high since my saliva was excessive?)
Serum Cortisol (is this worth doing?)
(Had the saliva tests done so is it worth doing blood tests for these cortisol and Dheas?)
Adrenal Antibodies ??
IGF-1 Insulin ??
Candida Antibodies (Might show candida but is it accurate and maybe I coudl just do the diet and not worry about testing?)
HomoCysteine (Not sure)
Blood Allergy testing (150 Foods) (its quite expensive but shows intolerances too which is good.


Im at a loss on what tests I should do.

At the moment I feel constant pressure or tension in chest or stomach and try to relax the muscles(they shake alot too) and notice my heart palpitations or pulse in neck when I lie down(could be mental based?)

I also feel slightly flushed and cant concentrate.

I would take the approach outlined in this book:

Hair Test Interpretation by Dr. Andrew Cutler

Basically, you can have the tests done inexpensively and then interpret them for yourself based on information you find in this book. Unfortunately, the interpretation is a little complex (hence, the book on the subject) because you're searching for combinations, indicators, patterns, etc., but it's nearly impossible to find a doctor that knows how to do this.

That's what I would do. It would be pretty inexpensive as well.

Hope this helps.

has anyone tried the www.neurogistics.com Amino acid therapy...sounds SO GOOD!!

is it the same as the IWDL one?

And is the FACT food test on IWDL any good or accurate? whats the best test done for food intolerances and allergies. I heard some arent that good or accurate. I just want to know if its making me foggy headed. or worth doing

I was interested in that neurogistics but its in America.

Also 5-htp didnt help me at all and made me worse.

I was also interested in AMino acid therapy
