> Hi Ed,
> Enjoyed your website. I've been wanting to get the various Pfeiffer Institute testing done for some time now but can't afford the out of state visits to the clinic. I have an alternative-oriented doctor who is totally clueless to these exotic mood disorder tests but seems willing to order them up for me. I just have to direct him. After receiving back the results I doubt he'll be able to interpret them but I'm hoping that the lab results will have some recommendations.

> My question is, is there a listing anywhere of which tests to order and a good lab from which to order them? My dx is hypothyroid (already got that handled), fibromyalgia and bipolar-II, mainly depressive with anxiety, but who the heck really knows. I'm hoping narrowing down some biochemical disorder will help. Thanks. - BarbaraCatDear BarbaraCat,
As regards Fibromyaslgia I have found it useful to prescribe naltrexone 4.5mg at bedtime.After a few months patients seem to be a good deal better painwise and in better form too.See www.lowdosenaltrexone.org.As regards the Pfeiffer tests I know they do over a hunded tests but I cannot go into the details here. It costs over $3,000 to get those tests done there.It seems to me to be a good long-term investment in one`s mental health-it can be done in a day and they visit different places around the states too.Mind you,you will have to buy various nutrients in due course but many people with rapid cycling bipolar for example have only a kryptopyrrole disorder which I have seen improve greatly in a matter of weeks.See www.hriptc.org.I would like to acknowledge how much I have learned from their experience. I do some of the Pfeiffer tests in my own practice in Ireland and as a result there are many people whose mental health has improved greatly,especially young people or those who are ill for less than 10 years.
