We work with several laboratories to order both traditional and alternative testing.  Ask your doctor if any of these tests would be right for you:

•  PAML- This is the local lab here in CDA/Spokane.  We use PAML for many lab tests including blood counts, cholesterol, thyroid, urinalysis, PSA, anemia screens, autoimmune screening, etc.  We have an arrangement with the lab to get tests at a discounted rate if you are paying out of pocket, or the lab can bill your insurance

•  Diagnostechs- We utilize this lab primarily for salivary hormone panels.  By collecting a sample of your saliva, we can test for hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, DHEA, and others.  By identifying any imbalances a custom treatment plan can be developed.

• US Biotek - We regularly use this lab for allergy testing.  This can be done with a blood sample form the arm or, using new technology, with a fingerstick and a few drops of blood.  This lab looks at IgE and IgG antibodies to 96 (or more) common food allergies and also has panels for inhalants.

• Spectracell Laboratories - This cutting edge laboratory looks at the intracellular nutrient status of over 40 different nutrients.  By culturing your white blood cells on a sample sent overnight to Texas, they then grow them in different mediums with and without key nutrients to functionally assess how your body is absorbing and utilizing its nutrition.

• Doctor's Data - We use this lab for heavy metal contamination tests from either urine (preferred) or hair.  We also use them for detailed stool analysis tests that show how well your digestive tract is working and any imbalances in the bacterial balance in your gut.

• NeuroScience Labs - This lab looks at neurotransmitter excreted in the urine to identify any imbalances.  This testing can be helpful in psychiatric disorders, ADHD, and autism.  The results can help in formulating treatment protocols

We also can order other specialty labs if not seen on here.  Call today to discuss how lab testing can help personalize your health care to best tailor to each of our own biochemical individuality.
