Chemical Sensitivities Tests for Liver Function

Messages

I have pretty sever MCS along with CFS and cannot tolerate supplements without becoming more ill or have NO effect at all. I am beginning to think this might be due to problems with liver metabolism...with somethings never becoming active (when I take D3 that level ZOOMS up but it never seems to convert to the active form) or "building up" to toxic levels because I can't break them down... I have seen people talking about tests for different types of liver enzymes and was hoping someone could give me specific details - names of tests, how and where to get them..

no one :(
I keep reading about phase 1 and phase 2 (fast slow, slow fast etc)
How do people figure out what they are? is there a blood test or something

I think this site might have what you are looking for in terms of testing:
I have had genetic testing for pharmaceuticals that tests most of these pathways. I found that I had a mutation in Cyp2D6 which is important in the metabolism of certain drugs. Now I have a wallet card listing the drugs that I should not be given due to this error.

Thanks for the reply
Is the link you provided where you got the genetics tests? what were they called?

No, my doctor used Asperio Labs, this test is specifically for certain pharmaceuticals.
Thanks Sushi...did the results help you choose treatments?
I did take the Genova test too and yes, it was helpful information for me--indicating a slow phase I which was helpful to the overall picture.
