Insomnia-Testing-Diagnosis: Insomnia testing is
needed to identify
specific
causes of
disease
where
insomnia may
be a symptom
such as
hyperthyroidism,
sleep apnea,
Restless Leg
Syndrome,
etc. If a
disease is
found it
needs to be
corrected
before
normal sleep
can be
restored. |

|
Routine
studies
include
a
CBC,
sedimentation
rate,
urinalysis
and
drug
screen,
chemistry
panel,
thyroid
profile,
VDRL
test,
EKG,
and
chest
x-ray.
Arterial
blood
gases
and
pulmonary
function
testing
should
be
done
to
rule
out
pulmonary
disease.
A
venous
pressure
and
circulation
time
will
help
rule
out
early
congestive
heart
failure.
Blood
pressure
monitoring
can
be
used
to
rule
out
paroxysmal
hypertension.
If
an
organic
brain
syndrome
is
suspected,
a CT
scan
or
MRI
of
the
brain
should
be
done.
If
psychiatric
symptoms
are
present,
the
patient
should
be
referred
to a
psychiatrist.
Alternatively,
a
therapeutic
trial
of
psychotherapeutic
agents
may
be
initiated
if
the
patient
is
not
suicidal.
When
all
of
the
above
diagnostic
tests
are
negative,
a
sleep
study
must
be
done.
However,
home
monitors
for
apnea
and
oxygen desaturation
are
available
and
may
be
an
inexpensive
alternative
to
rule
out
obstructive
sleep
apnea. |

The NeuroResearch Clinics Approach
to
Insomnia-Testing-Diagnosis |
|
Its no secret, NeuroResearch Clinics uses the nutrients 5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa,
and
cysteine to treat medical patients
in order to get the results
documented by our doctors, Proper
use these simple
ingredients in medical treatment is not simple.
From time to time a patient will
say, "Why do I want to take that, I
can go to a health food store and
buy it?" People off the street
buying in a health food store is like going to an art
store and buying a bunch of oil
paints then going home and expecting
to paint like a mater artist even
though there was no previous
painting experience. Having been in
medicine since 1972 I can firmly
state that use of 5-HTP, tyrosine,
levodopa, and cysteine, in medical
clinics, with urinary
neurotransmitter testing is some of
the most sophisticated medical
treatment in medicine.
These nutrients have tremendous
potential due to their chemical
properties. The potential is only
fully realized in the hands of the
trained professional. Treatment is
not just giving a nutrient pill, it is the whole medical approach
doctors are trained in to manage the
disease properly and make sure that
that the whole treatment plan is on
track to get symptoms under control. |
