O/T Amino acid analysis and other tests in SA

[Guest guest]

Hi,

In AI - there are a number of tests suggested such as amino acid

analysis etc. I see online that there are a number of labs in the US

that you can order the tests online and then just go to a draw site

without a doctor needed to order it for you. This is what I did for

my hair elements test.

Does anyone know if there is anyhting similar in South Africa? I have

seen so many doctors and they will not order me any more tests and I

really havent had that many except full blood profile, glucose,

thyroid and a few others. I have fibro and poss cfs.

They refer me to a psychologist if I even mention mercury poisoning

or ask for any more tests and it's such a shame as I know what I need

to do but cant get any help with it. Even specialists just say to

me " your tests are normal - there is no need for me to send for

anymore as they will all come back normal. I can only send you for

more tests if something indicated I need to. " I just get told to eat

healthily and exercise!

Does anyone know if taking a supplement of free form amino acids can

do more harm than good or if it would be worth a try? I am confused

by the book as i know some may be low / high etc esp with

fibromyalgia.

There's so much info about our bodies that we could potentially get

but dr's just aren't willing to do it - well not here anyway! I'm

tempted to fly to the states and get them all done!
