Amino Acids
Protein is the building blocks of many
controlling substances in the body. Without
these fine controls the system is unable to
rebuild itself or send or receive messages
between cells. Specific protein deficiencies
may be at the basis of migraine, eczema,
ADHD, and many other diseases of varying
severity. Urine or serum testing may give
clues to these potential imbalances allowing
the healthcare giver to focus and optimize
treatment. Inadequate protein utilization or
other metabolic disorders may be
illuminated.

circulating (plasma) or excretion of amino
acids with metabolites (urine). Essential

quantified. Functional deficiencies of a
number of mineral and vitamin co-factors can
be seen.
