Julia Ross on
The Labs That
Recommend Baseline Urinary
neurotransmitter testing
Julia Ross is
recognized for her
writings on the use of
amino acids in treatment
of disease. Julia Ross
formulated the following
observations of urinary
neurotransmitter testing
while using testing performed by
laboratories other than
DBS Labs. The she
was using the labs that
are promoting "baseline
urinary neurotransmitter testing" prior to
treatment. NeuroResearch
Clinics is in total
agreement with Julia
Ross' observations of
these other labs. The
approach used by Julia
Ross not the approach
and caliber of
neurotransmitter testing
provided by Tom Uncini,
MD and DBS Labs.

JULIA ROSS
neurotransmitter testing EXCERPT #1
"Our staff tried but
soon discontinued the
use of urine
neurotransmitter testing
because deficiency
symptoms and test
results too often did
not correlate
clinically. I have since
been contacted by many
clinicians who have also
found the results of
urine testing for
neurotransmitter levels
too often misleading and
the amino acid
formulations based on
them disappointing."

JULIA ROSS
EXCERPT #2
Although our clinic no
longer uses urine
testing, we have had a
number of clients who
had already had this
testing done prior to
coming to us. We have
had five clients come to
our clinic in the past
six months with
significant
neurotransmitter
deficiency symptoms that
went untreated or were
badly exacerbated by the
recommendations made by
lab personnel as
documented in the
practitioners' reports
that these clients
brought with them to our
clinic
Julia Ross writing on urinary
neurotransmitter testing
by labs other than DBS
Labs
NeuroResearch Clinics relies exclusively
on DBS Labs for urinary serotonin and
dopamine neurotransmitter testing in
natural treatment of disease. DBS Labs
is directed by Tom Uncini, MD hospital
based pathologist who is dual board
certified in laboratory medicine. Dr.
Uncini is the medical director of two
hospital labs, University of Minnesota
Medical Center Mesabi in Hibbing, MN and
Cook Hospital in Cook, MN. Dr. Uncini is
also on the faculty of the University of
Minnesota Medical School. The urinary
neurotransmitter testing produced by DBS
Labs is of hospital caliber. Between Dr. Uncini and his lab manager there are over 50 years of hospital based laboratory experience.
The
experience and credentials of the people
running DBS Labs stand in stark contrast
to the other labs out there attempting
to do urinary neurotransmitter testing.
Other laboratories have no hospital
based board certified laboratory
medicine pathologist running the lab, no
license to practice medicine, no
hospital privilege affiliation, no
clinic, no patients, and have never
treated one patient in clinic. Yet some are holding
out that they have the expertise to tell
doctors how to treat their patients when
the urinary neurotransmitter testing
results are reported back to the doctor.
This may explain why the testing results
of these labs do not correlate when the same
sample is run on split sample testing by
DBS Labs and the non-MD lab. These
non-MD labs are the labs
that are recommending and inducing
licensed medical doctors to get "baseline
urinary neurotransmitter testing" prior to treatment even
though there is no correlation between
testing prior to and once taking amino
acid precursors.
