I've already benefited hugely
from organic acid testing, as have the 150 people I've been working with over the past six months.
So
whilst organic acid testing was designed to help with fatigue in the chronically ill, it serves equally well to increase athletic performance.
It is also the

And — you know — when you add those up — you know — you can check RBC Glutathione or Pyroglutamate
on organic acids test.
You can enter your 23andme data and then what you can also do is — while they are running their analysis on that — enter blood work, enter results
of organic acid tests and results of stool.
Next is, without getting
an organic acid test, is there a kind of a universal protocol supplement that can be taken for hormonal balance.
In my next article on fungal overgrowth, Part 2, we will discuss methods of diagnosis including blood tests (rarely if ever helpful),

The way that I and many functional health practitioners look at GABA levels is through symptom questionnaire's and

The organic acid test above is from my own personal test.
The organic acids test includes the following:
In dopamine - secreting neurons, dopa is metabolized into HVA, which can be measured in the urine
organic acid test.
In these neurons, dopamine is metabolized into homovanillic acid which can be measured in the urine
organic acid test.
My organic acids test did show very high D - lactate, but not too high in other bacteria.
Spasms, pain, altered BMs, episodes of lightheadedness, etc — saw alternative dr who did stool testing,
organic acid tests, food sensitivities.
The organic acids test can also be helpful.
In January of 2018, we will be adding six
organic acid tests (OATs) to the DUTCH Complete ™ and DUTCH Plus ™ tests — at no extra charge!
