Thanks dannybex. Oh that is so annoying that the other test has been discontinued as it also measure P450 cyp2d6 and other detoxification enzymes which I know mine are affected. Do you know of any other tests that also include P450 enzymes.
Does the new test also measure sulphur metabolism, I had a look but it wasn;t clear to me whether it did or not.
How much is that test?
The test you posted looks good and through but the other test was looking at areas I was particularly interested in as affecting me
Doctors Data and Metametrix has a detox panel. There are challenge panels where you take tylenol and other stuff and also a non challenge panel that checks for markers in the urine.
Genova offers Detoxigenomics (under their Genovations tests) that is a genetics test that checks for mutations in specific P450 enzymes and phase II enzymes such as GSTP1 and SOD1,2, etc. MTHFR panel add on is extra for $90 i think, separate is $135. This test is a genetics test and is not widespread nor is it covered by insurance. Right now there is a bit of a pharma war on genetics as they haven't figured out a way to make money on it so they are putting a stop to genetic testing by consumers and claiming it is "protecting the public from misinformation". What garbage.
If anyone is interested, there is also 23andme.com which has a wider and bigger database of 550,000 SNPs that you have available to you. They have about 75-80% of the SNPs covered in the Detoxigenomics and the entire price is arund $425 or so making it "better" pricewise. But it takes a bit of a hard scientist and work to find the right RS and SNP Ids and such. And you dont get any medical info so id go with Genova.
