B-12 is $111

total testosterone is $162

magnesium is $57

free t4 is $249

free t3 is $227

===================

Good Lord!!

You can get the whole Thyroid Panel (TSH, T4, Free T4, Free T3) through

www.lef.org for just $100!! (Members get it for just $75!)

Vitamin B12 and Folate $44 (members $33)

Testosterone, Free (with Total) $132 (members: $99)

Magnesium: $18.67 (members: $14)

And you can order any old test you want (unless you're in NY or a couple other

states where docs and labs have tricked the legislature to outlawing it). Plus,

LEF sends the results to you AND to your doctor if you wish them to. (I bring a

copy to him to keep him in mind that *I* control my health care. No insurance,

so I have to...)

I don't know if they can do Canada and Britain or elsewhere, but for folks in

the U.S. it's great!

Here are all their blood tests (nine pages of 'em!)

Your insurance may or may not reimburse you -- it's worth working with your doc

to see if they will -- or just buy the tests yourself if your doc won't budge.

I just got my Vit D3 and fT3/Rt3 results, and am about to go see my local

vampire for the ferritin test.
