No. Only blood tests for thyroid disease and adrenal disease, and even then not comprehensive testing.
Such a damn shame that our health system and health secretary are letting so many of us down and leaving us feeling so desperate that many of us are spending our income on quick fixes and supplements without the supervision of expert health professionals. Thank god for this forum.
You must be joking only the basic tests. They do not do T3,T4 I think it is down to the cost, each area is different you will have to ask at your doctors surgery.
without proper testing people are not going to get well and may even be on medication that's making them feel much worse. I can not believe we are living in such a society. Why doesn't the health department get these poison manufacturers to fork the bill to restore our health after consuming there lousy products and inhaling there filthy air. Just not fair.
No. You might get a stool test if you have symptoms of SIBO or a referral to gastroenterology if you have symptoms of IBS, but they don't do saliva tests or recognise them and every symptom is a separate disease.
why do they bother at all, crazy to stick a plaster on and think they are healers of man and good Samaritans. I'm so fed up with asking for more.
Did you miss the memo? The one size fits all memo ...
The MP for health should be sacked as he or they are not fit for the purpose.
No chance. The solution is to privatise most or all of the NHS. Shocked? Comprehensive testing is done in private, holistic treatment so that's the way forward. So rather than proposing a NI increase to help out the NHS which doesn't treat holistically, I propose an NI reduction to help us pay for private treatment. The savings (less drugs, better outcomes etc) would justify it for the Government. The benefit to patients is health recovery A win-win!!!
