I have found only three labs that do metal-LTT testing, as follows:
Orthopedic Analysis, in Chicago
MELISSA, seems to be east coast based, with a number of licensed labs, scattered around.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN
I have not been able to determine if the metal-LTT and the MELISSA test aaaare one and the same. It appears to me that the metal-LTT is an off-shoot of the MELISSA test, and sufficiently different... and may be an improved test. But that is not legal fact.
I am going to have my testing done by Orthopedic Analysis in Chicago... a Panel 2 for looking for any reactive (allergy) to a number of metals by the lymphocyte method, and a Metal ION Test to look for the metal particles that may be floating around my system.
Wishing All Wellness!!!
