Vitamin Testing Beneficial for Specific Diseases
The treatment of certain diseases can potentially be improved via specific tests. Below is a list of diseases along with an explanation of how vitamin testing can be beneficial.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – This disorder frequently involves mitochondrial inefficiencies (deficits in cellular energy production) that can be revealed by comparing the organic acids, amino acids and minerals test results.
Cancer – Malnutrition/cachexia is usually an exacerbating factor. Overall nutritional testing helps determine the degree of supplementation needed.
Immune Disorders – Deficiencies in a wide variety of nutrients, from amino acids to fatty acids to zinc, are seen in immune dysfunction.
Developmental Delay, Autism, Down’s Syndrome – Increasing numbers of children are experiencing dramatic improvements in development and achievement due to supplementation based on vitamin test results.
Mental/Emotional Disorders – The biochemical imbalances underlying these conditions can be elucidated by testing for organic acids, amino acids, minerals and fatty acids.
Learning & Behavioral Disorders – As might be expected, neurotransmitter precursors and their metabolites are often deranged in disorders such as ADHD. Organic and amino acids need to be assessed.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivities – In such conditions, functional nutrient levels are affected, including many of those involved in cellular respiration.
