Laboratory Services

Most orthodox medical laboratory tests and functional tests are available at the clinic, subject to the test being medically indicated from a consultation and examination.

 
   
Commonly used labs include the following: 
  • Nature-Cure Lab Services is our specialist in-house testing facility for blood grouping and subgrouping. Tests are carried out by a qualified laboratory technician specialising in haematology (blood group testing). Special techniques have been developed to be able to test small blood samples taken from a fingerprick so that patients can take a sample at home and send by post prior to their appointment. 
  • North American Pharmacal offers salivary secretor testing 
  • Biological Testing Services offers a variety of tests, specialising in detailed stool testing at two laboratories in Germany. 
  • Biolab in London offers a wide range of nutritional and functional tests. 
  • Acumen Lab in the UK specialises in testing mitochondrial function. 
  • Metametrix Clinical Laboratory in the US carries out detailed functional metabolic testing from urine, stool and blood samples. 
  • Genova Diagnostic Laboratory in the US offers a wide range of functional tests. 
Other tests are carried out at standard UK diagnostic laboratories. Samples are sent by post, so any blood samples for standard diagnostic tests taken in the clinic should not be scheduled for a Friday.
