Spectracell nutrient testing

[Guest guest]

Is anyone familiar with Spectracell testing? From what I have read, it

claims to be a way of determining nutrient status of various amino acids,

vitamins, and minerals by analyzing how well the patient's lymphocytes grow

in a culture containing these nutrients.

The " normal " values are based on a reference range that is itself based on

" how this patient's result compares to thousands of patients previously

tested " - but how does this determine what is " normal " ?

I am skeptical especially since this seems like a way to push possibly

unnecessary, expensive supplements...but I'm trying to keep an open mind

too. I'm interested in your thoughts!
