Don't forget those amino acids

So I had a lot of testing done last month. One test was neurotransmitters w/adrenals, the other was ion testing that tested all of my amino acids, fatty acids, dna/oxidative stress, etc, etc. and I did mold and marcons testing.

Mold was negative...yay!!!

Marcons was positive (but according to Buhner it always is). Docs may suggest a nasal spray or antibiotic. Buhner suggests CSA. My doctor suggested a nasal spray.

My serotonin, dopamine, and GABA while in range are towards the low end and obviously not optimal. Nori and epi were fine. Cortisol/adrenals were ok as well.

With regard to the neurotransmitters my doctor stated that several of the essential amino acids are the building blocks to these. And what did I find? That my amino acids that are tied to these very neuros are low. So he has recommended that I begin taking an essential amino acid supplement. He stated that he often finds those with Lyme, co-infections, and other chronic illness are low in amino acids and that can often slow or impede healing. He also stressed the importance of gut health.

Wow Peteza that is an incredible story!! Thank you so much for sharing. That just goes to show you how important those amino acids are to our health. It's funny that sometimes we are looking for the big goose, but sometimes it's the little goose that's the answer to our woes.

I have never heard of those in IV. I may have to look into that.

Thanks again for sharing.

Definitely not going to go overboard. I am so tired of taking things that I want minimal as possible. Quite honestly, Sanesco (the company who did the test) recommended several products to support my difficiences in neurotransmitters and a follow-up test in 9 weeks. I'm going to check with my other Lyme doc before doing anything. Appointment is in 2 weeks. Boy oh boy do I have a lot to show him.
