Our cells have to communicate with each other to carry out their function not only speedily but in an organized, orderly, non-chaotic manner.
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals which are used to relay signals within the brain and all organs of the body. Where there are disruptions in the levels of these substances, certain disease states or severe symptoms could develop. Through modern technology, these substances can now be measured by taking samples of the cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and urine.
Because the use of urine sample is non-invasive and safe, and the clinical correlations are quite consistent. The urinary neurotransmitter testing we offer is found very useful in such conditions as depression, insomnia, anxiety/panic attacks, fatigue, pain, ADD/ADHD, autism, post-traumatic stress, and in conjunction with specific hormonal and autoimmune conditions. Specific amino acids and adaptive supplements are recommended to eliminate these conditions.
Medicare and PPOs usually cover urinary neurotransmitter testing.
