Order a Laboratory Test
Have you ever felt sick enough to be examined by your doctor, have blood tests done, and x-rays taken, only for to have your doctor report back that, "All your tests are normal"? Yet both you and your doctor know you are sick?
Unfortunately this experience is all too common. Most physicians were trained to look only in specific places for the answers, but they just order the same familiar lab tests or x-rays. Yet most of the causes of illness cannot be found where doctors commonly look. (Lamp story?)
The usual tests do not look for the causes of illness, or, the 5 Forces of Illness - things such as food allergies, hidden infections, mold exposures, environmental toxins, nutritional deficiencies and metabolic imbalances. Fortunately, specialty laboratories and innovative scientists have pioneered new windows into the mysterious workings of our bodies.
Some of these tests are available without a doctor's prescription. This empowers you to take charge of your own health. I offer you the unique opportunity to order some of those tests yourself on drhyman.com. For other specialized tests you will need a physician to order them and work with you who knows and understands them. That is why I have created a practitioner database (find a doctor).
When you order the tests, you will be given access to an interpretive guide for each test, explaining what it means and what to do about the results. More in-depth guidance in ordering specific tests to identify the causes of different conditions, and as well as in-depth recommendations, are available by going to Dr. Hyman's Second Opinion.
