should I do these tests: Elit-Gen-F and organix, or others?

As those tests are very expensive, and as they do not even tell me how I will be treated after getting the results, I wander to what point it will satisfy ...only my curiosity, or will help for treatment.

I am in Spain but there is a lab working with Genova (American)
and they propose this test:

and a very costly genetic test:
http://corporamed.com/elit_gen-f.php
(I cannot find it on genova's website)

They "gave" me a doctor who send me a questionnaire and told me to do those 2 tests.
I have not seen the doctor at all, as I do not live in the same island (Canary, I moved there for the weather, you guess why....), and we are suppose to have an appointment after doing the tests, either I travel or we have through Skype!

I already know much about my problems, but never got satisfiying treatments either... and anyway I will not take drugs that treat you and give you another problem or resistance, so no antibiotics nor antivirus etc.

TO WHICH OF THESE PROBLEMS WILL I HAVE AN ANSWER WITH THOSE TESTS?
Or what other tests?

I fit in those problems that are supposed to be linked to fatigue:
- Accidents and temporo-mandibular problem, tooth extraction, whiplash.
- virus and slight Lyme
- reaction to some molds but still do not know which ones. It made me super ill this summer as the contamination went undetected by my stuffed nose during weeks.
- sinus problems so I guess molds are growing there.
I was never proposed tests about this.

Important as life-long problem:
- Low metabolism from birth. I want to know if I have a Krebs cycle problem.
I always had pains and aches with very Little exercise.

I supposed genetenics played a role when my father started to have muscle atrophy. I feel my muscles never responded to my level of activity (though for sure it helped me not to "go down", through my life).

A normal blood test last year gave all normal but a high glycemia (I have this since childhood) and low progesterone (premenopause). Mg and thyroid were normal for example. But only this year I went back to a bad health.
Now: methylcobalamine is the best supplement I found!
I had to double the normal dose after 4 days, and still ok like this, 2000mg.
I got also improvement from p5p with Mg.
I take vit A-D-K
For guts, diatomeous earth got me much better, I never forget this 1st thing in the morning.
And also I take solgar digestive enzymes and add some betaine hcl at least when I have a meal with meat.

Thanks for help before I decide to go to the bank and make the money tranfer!
