Being a guinie pig - as many of us know - is not pleasant and I would love to be able to show list to docs?????? Anyone with suggestions?  |
I would suspect any doctor who did not help with this, as being ignorant.
Here is another site with the ethnic breakdown of the various enzyme systems:

Don't think all doctors understand liver metabolism. I would venture to say,
Kmeb's does not. He won't entertain the thought because it would show his ignorance.
The new liver metabolism test is expensive, and I don't think it is covered by all insurances.
How to order a test:

Done with a cheek/buccal swab.
