Hi ,

You can go to these following web sites to print out (or order)

information for your doctor. Your doctor can then decide which test

he/she feels is best. I don't know the cost of either of these tests,

but insurance should cover them.

1) Exatest by Intracellular Diagnostics, Inc. Doctor takes a tiny

sample of cells by scraping under the tongue. Test shows current

2) Functional Intracellular Analysis (FIA) by SpectraCell Labs.

Non-fasting blood test measuring vitamins, minerals, and amino acids

in lymphocytes (white blood cells). Test shows nutritional status over

the past few months, not days, like conventional serum blood tests.

Hi,

I am wondering what the test is that gives a better idea about mg

levels than the blood test. 's doc's want to do the blood test

but they are open to the idea of other testing. What is the name of

the other test. I believe that it had to do with mg on a cellular

level. How is the other testing done? any info would be great!

Thanks!

Kim May have already gotten this to you but I thought I would

let you know in case. It is done by Exatest Labs. The web site is

www.exatest.com. My doc is also looking into doing this for Colgan.

When I told him about doing this he looked at me like I was crazy. I

think that he was surprised that I knew about it and he did not.
