Lightbulb re: testing...

Most doctors do not know how to interpret the results.

Naturopaths may be better, or worse if they want to sell you stuff!

Right now Vit D is getting huge attention. So you can be accurately tested
for that.

The B12 may test normal (if you are sure of the numbers being interpreted)...but its biological activity is really most accurately tested by the MMA test. There is a folate test. A B6 which may not reflect reality.

You can test magnesium/calcium, iron. Normal magnesium in serum does not reflect intracellular however. There is a test for blood serum zinc and a urine excretory one. There is a copper/zinc ratio test.
There are tests for amino acids which are hard to interpret.
