Genetic, Infectious & Lyme disease testing in Edmonton
TruMed's Naturopaths offer Edmonton Advanced Genetic (DNA) and Infectious & Lyme Disease testing. Complex cases often require genetic testing and investigating roles of various infections. With genetic testing our Naturopaths can see if there are various issues with detoxification, and methylation. Complex autoimmune, fatigue and fibromyalgia cases may require these deeper investigations. Your Naturopath at TruMed will help you determine the best testing for your case.
