Re: Lab Tests for Anxiety and Depression

The only place I know of that does really specialized testing is a place called Pfeiffer. They have an excellent website to browse through.

They say most psychiatric symptoms can be traced to one of several general conditions:

Histimine high
Histimine low
Pyroluria
Toxic metals (the most common culprits are mercury and copper...copper is in most multivitamins)
Over methylated (must avoid multi vitamins)
Under methylated (need high dose vitamins)
And a few other things.
They basically say that most problems are not caused by a deficiency of something, but rather an excess of something. They scoff at all the retail companies coming out with various versions of high dose vitamins, because they say trying to find one correct dosage of things for everyone is like trying to find one shoe size that fits everyone. For example with some people the last thing they need are B vitamin supplements or copper in a multivitamin.

Anyway, Pfeiffer does all these tests. Unless you are willing to travel there, you probably won't find the tests local. They do have patients that come from around the world.

By studying their website you can get good ideas. For example if you high histimine, you should notice an improvement with a sample test of benadryl. If you are overmethylated, you should notice a very uncomfortable reaction to SAMe. If you are undermethylated, SAMe should feel good. Pyroluria responds to high dose zinc and B vitamins, but takes time. A local naturopath doctor can test you for toxic metals.
