Re: iodine/bromide testing done at hakala labs? - Does it require a Doctor's order?

You do not need a doctor's request, just order it yourself.I found them  to be great.Once you receive the lab back, call them. They aremore than happy to explain your results.AliOn Nov 25, 2008, at 6:23 AM, augustmirth wrote:This is mainly a "bump" up for the post about hakala labshttp://hakalalabs.com. I was under the impression that you had tohave a doctor's order to get an iodine load test -- is this not thecase at hakala labs? If you don't - that would be very good newsbecause not everyone lives in an area that is easy accessible to aniodine-friendly doctor - although it would be desirable I think to beworking with a doctor for iodine supplementation - it seems like itmight be better than nothing to at least be able to get the test doneto see where you are with respect to iodine supplementation. Also I would like to know know if anyone had had their testing donethouth Hakala and if you thought they were reliable.>> You can order the two tests (iodine saturation & bromide toxicity) at:> > http://hakalalabs.com/contact_us> > or order iodine at> > http://www.jcrows.com/iodine.html> > It is delivered right to your door,> although I don't know if Lugol's> works for a skin test.> Ali
