Pyroluria is a disorder of some sort where your body cannot hold onto zinc and b6. Both are needed to manage stress. So if this is a problem, your adrenals will be affected. I tested through the roof on with this. Not everybody believes this is real - it may be a symptom of something else - metal toxicity? But either way, you have to replenish b6/zinc if you're not holding onto it. The doc said it could take awhile to balance out. ---------Val, how did this doc know to test for this, or what symptoms made him suspect it?---------Jackie The test is simple and doesn't require a doctor. It's about $80 and consists of sending a urine sample to a lab. -----------Do you mean through Direct Labs?----------Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Val and Jackie, I'm curious about the pyroluria issue, as I have seen it mentioned numerous times during my research on anxiety/depression and metal toxicity. I'm curious, do either of you have any problems with anxiety and/or panic? Thanks - Michele > > > > > ---------Val, how did this doc know to test for this, or what > symptoms made him suspect it?---------Jackie > > ***** I had myself tested.
