Cortisol Testing:
Total urinary cortisol levels have been found to be significantly lower in CFS patients than in normal controls although, in contrast to CFS patients, cortisol excretion in depressed patients was actually increased. ... found normal cortisol levels in CFS patients in a subsequent study perhaps underlines the superiority of total cortisol excretion as a means of evaluating adrenal status.

Adrenal Gland Size:


DHEA and Pregnenolone hormone levels.

Thyroid irregular dysfunction

Thyroid Scan - Description:
There are two types of thyroid nuclear medicine tests.
A thyroid scan produces a picture of the gland to help evaluate any lumps or inflammation, or to investigate the cause of an overactive thyroid.

A radioactive iodine uptake test is performed to see if your thyroid is functioning normally and to determine why thyroid hormone levels may be elevated. For both types of test, a small amount of a weakly radioactive substance, known as a radionuclide, is either injected into a vein or given to you as a pill.

Mycoplasmas:
These are specialized blood tests called polymerase chain reactions (PCR) for hard to detect pathogens (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Gulf War Syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic undiagnosed infections)

C Reactive Protein are inflammatory markers which, if elevated, return to baseline along with Triglycerides, Alkaline Phosphatase and 1,25D as the MP does its job. These markers typically start to drop after about 6-12 months.

FIA™ Comprehensive Profile 5000
Includes Vitamins B6, D, and Fructose Sensitivity.

SPECTROX™- a total antioxidant function test which assesses the ability of cells to resist damage caused by free radicals and other forms of oxidative stress. Due to the considerable number of cellular antioxidants with extensive interactions, redundancies, repair and recharging capabilities, measuring total function is the most accurate and clinically useful way to assess total antioxidant function.
