In reply to Getting testing done-ADVICE what supps to quit!!, posted by Jimmyboy on October 15, 2007, at 16:52:15
Yeah, like was already mentioned, call the center and ask their advice.
Regardless of their advice, I personally would stop all supplements a week before the appointment, or at least a couple days minimum.
It would be nice to see your true baseline. Supplements can indeed throw your test results off, in either a negative or a postitive direction. I think the recommendations for which supps to take and what doses will be a lot more accurate if you are not taking supps to start with.
I like these places that test people extensively and then treat it better than guessing. Still though, regardless of how much testing they do, it seems like something always gets missed. For example, say maybe all your essential metals and vitamins were low across the board and they give you megadoses of them. But did they check for gluten intolerance, candida overgrowth, colitis, allergies, and such that would put the intestines in a constant state of turmoil causing the malabsorption? Kind of like pouring more gasoline into a leaking gas tank when maybe it might worth taking a look at the leak?
