Dear ALCAN: My naturopath had me do tests through two labs:

DDI - Red Blood Cell Elements -- This measured regular elements (calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, etc) and toxic elements (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, thallium).

Bio Health Diagnostics -- Renal function, electrolyte screen, liver function screen, bone and mineral screen, thyroid screen, coronary risk screen, anemia screen, complete blood count, celiac/gluten sensitivity enteropathy screen, cortisol serum and auto-immune screen.

I dont' know if you have a good naturopath and doctor, but I can recommend mine to you. You live approx. 1 hr. 10 min. from Temecula, which is where I am located. My doctor and naturopath run the Stillpoint Wellness Center for Integrative Medicine center in Temecula, website: www.mystillpoint.com

They are familiar with and are very open to treating according to Andy Cutler's protocol, as well as working with you on treatments. Example, I wanted to use Andy Cutler's dosing schedule, they agreed to let me try it. I wanted to add hydrocortisone, they agreed to let me try it and increase my thyroid meds. Very, very open to the patients input and very knowledgeable as you will see from the site.

Worth checking into if you don't already have support.
