Dear Dr. Dan:
How do you test for nutritional deficiencies? Also, what are the most common nutritional deficiencies you see with the patients in your practice and how do you treat them?
John
Dear John:
We use SpectraCell Laboratories for nutritional testing because they have a patented test that that assesses what's actually getting into the white blood cells, not just what's floating around in the plasma. Although SpectraCell analyzes certain vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, the most common deficiencies I see are for general antioxidants (a.k.a. Spectrox) and immune function (a.k.a. Lymphocyte Proliferation Index). To treat deficiencies, we use proven professional supplements such as minerals complexed with the amino acid aspartic acid that delivers them directly to the cells where they're needed most. Nutritional injections and infusions are also very helpful because they bypass problems that may be associated with digestion. I hope this helps!
Dr. Dan
