Methylation Pathways Panel - drawing own blood for test..

Messages
16
Hi All,

I live in the UK and am attempting to have the Methylation Pathways Panel test done, through the European Laboratory of Nutrients.

I have received the test kit, but it just contains 3 test tubes, into which I need to insert blood. Therefore I need to organise a private blood draw to get these tests done, however without a doctor's referral, I cannot do this. It seems to be a catch 22 and I do not know how I can get this test done. I wondered if anyone knows how I can daw blood myself, or privately, without having a referral from a GP?

Thank you for any help; I'm getting a bit desperate

Franz
