I’m not sure what it’s called exactly, but something that would test all the vitamins, minerals, metals, etc. in your body? I think this is the next thing I am going to do to see what I’m low/high in and try to adjust.
First of all, I believe there are a multitude of problems going on with many of us. The most elaborate test you can find would be best. IMO we could be looking at one problem in the prostate area and then another in the stomach. Damage to the stomach over time can cause “leaky gut” which lowers your bodies “good” bacteria, essentially opening the door for fugus, bacteria, parasites and other toxins can thrive. I do personally believe there is more than one problem going on that may not be connected.
Clearly many of us have tested positive for many of these already. Be sure to include these on any potential test you have done. The more I test, the more I read and collaborate with those that even experience a small level of recovery it won’t be easy if you have any of these. It will require incredible discipline with diet combined with other things as well. There is no simple “pill” you can pop to make things better. It could takes year of extreme diet to allow your stomach to recover as well.
One of the other problems when it comes to the testing is that they are not all created equal. Some of these tests have more sensativity than others. Do some research of your own. I have found Metametrix is considered one of the best. Many of the traditional tests can lead to “false negatives”. The main issue is most Primary care doctors won’t work with the newer technology testing and it’s not covered by most insurance. It’s quite expensive as well.
I have communicated with others on this forum that have had this type test done. It has revealed pretty much all of these problems. I’ll let these individuals speak for themselves if they decide to do so, since the topic seems to be so controversial on this forum.
Yeah man, your preaching to the choir on this one. I was on a leaky gut diet for about 2 months straight. I got an IgG anti body food test which showed that I have leaky gut because my body has anti bodies to basically every food except vegetables and meat. I always post on this forum that I get a recovery when I only eat veggies and fish. I can’t even handle fruit because my balls start aching if I eat fruit on a consistent basis, it’s annoying as hell. And regarding the meta metrix test, I really don’t know if we actually have parasites or not, I don’t really care about it because I all ready got a test on parasites/fungus and it didn’t show anything and it’s from a doctor that deals with it on a daily basis. If someone thinks they are successful with some anti parasite, then let me know.
However, when I am in “crash” mode or however you want to call in when you feel worse, I know there’s obvious imbalances going on. Yeah, the diet is important, but it’s also important for me to look at what is going on exactly during this, like what vitamins/minerals/heavy metals are building up to further build a better treatment.
