IN terms of vitamins, they did not test me specifically for deficiencies at the clinic. Vitamin B12 deficiency specifically can be tested by your doctor--although supposedly neurological symptoms can develop before blood levels of B12 become low. The clinic does however test for various other things, such as thyroid and mineral levels and heavy metal toxicity.
You could always supplement with a very good multivitamin from a health food store (not Walgreens brands, they have little value).
You may want to check out the alternative board here if you haven't already.
I currently do emphasise my medication regimen as the primary source of help. But I support it with a vitamin and amino acid regimen. My belief is that part of the harm of the medications lies in them and their by-products building up on the cellular level--a nutritional regimen can helpo the body clear itself of these "contaminants."
Medications can do a lot of good, but they certainly can have their negative effects on the body. But I believe we can do other things to lessen the negatives.
Take care.
