November 2015, second consultation day
I asked for the second telephone consultation today.
I briefly talked about the current situation.
After that, I heard an explanation of the three types of test results I received last time.
First, organic aciduria test results showed that arabinose was high.
This indicates that there are many bacteria in the intestine, such as Candida.
And that means that the intestinal environment is unconditioned.
Next, according to the results of environmental pollutant inspection, it was found that the numerical values of environmental pollutants were high.
This is a feature of “PATM”.
Urinary excretion of heavy metals revealed that arsenic, mercury, and thallium exceeded the standard values.
Even so, we can see that we have not reached the outlier.
Based on the results of the test, he improved the intestinal environment and prescribed supplements with antioxidant effects.
The supplement was prescribed alpha lipoic acid, natural gamma, ultraflora IB, NAC.

Index of water intake (content)
76 ＊Creatinine
＊Since urine samples collected have different body fluid volumes, the creatinine test is used to stabilize and adjust the number of metabolic markers.
Urinary creatinine levels also vary depending on how much urine is collected.
If the amount of creatinine in the sample is less than 20 mg / dL, the sample does not meet the test criteria and is not suitable for testing.
If you want to test with a creatinine value other than this standard value, please consult your doctor or staff.
Inspection format description
Standard values for organic acid tests are established using urine samples taken by groups of individuals without morbidity or mental illness from all age groups.
This range is determined by calculating the mean and standard deviation and is displayed as ± 25D of the mean.
The standard values are specified by age and sex, and consist of adult males (≧ 13 years old), adult females (≧ 13 years old), boys (<13 years old), and girls (<13 years old).
The new test format for organic acid test and microbial organic acid test result has two display types.
See example results below.
In the first example, when the numerical value is within the standard value (Normal Range), it is displayed as plus (+) or minus (-) 2 standard deviation value.
The second example is displayed when the number exceeds the standard upper limit.
In this case, the reference value range of the graph is narrowed and the abnormal value is displayed so that it can be seen at a glance.
The lower limit of the standard value is not displayed.
In both cases, the patient number is shown in the diamond box on the graph.
If the numerical value is within the standard value, it will be displayed with a black framed diamond, and if the value is high or low, it will be displayed with a red framed diamond.

Interpretation
1-8) High levels of yeast and fungal metabolites indicate that yeast and fungi are growing in the intestine.
Yeast / fungal levels will be suppressed by potent multi-strain probiotic supplements along with natural (vegetable) antifungal substances.
33) Substandard HVA levels may be due to decreased production of the neurotransmitter dopamine due to decreased intake of the amino acid precursors phenylalanine and tyrosine.
Homovanillic acid is a metabolite of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Taking phenylalanine and tyrosine supplements may be beneficial.
It may also be deficient in the factor enzymes magnesium, B6 (pyridoxine), and biopterin, in which case taking supplements will increase neurotransmitter levels.
34) Substandard VMA levels may be due to decreased production of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and the hormone adrenaline due to decreased intake of the amino acid precursors phenylalanine and tyrosine.
Vanillyl mandelic acid (VMA) is a metabolite of norepinephrine and adrenaline.
Low VMA levels may also be due to inhibition by the Clostridial metabolites during conversion to dopamine norebinephrine.
Phenylalanine and tyrosine supplements are effective.
They may be deficient in the cofactor enzymes magnesium, B6 (pyridoxine) and biopterin, and may respond to these supplements.
36) Values below the standard value for 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) suggest that the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin is down.
This is because 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid is a metabolite of serotonin.
This low value is also associated with depression.
Supplementing 50-300 mg / day of 5HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), a precursor of serotonin, may be beneficial.
Tryptophan supplement itself produces quinolinic acid, a neurotoxic and inflammatory metabolite, but 5HTP is not metabolized to quinolinic acid.
Excessive tryptophan supplementation is said to be associated with eosinophilia myalgia syndrome.
51) If pyridoxic acid (B6) is below the standard, you may not be in good health due to insufficient B6 intake, malabsorption, or enterotoxemia.
Pyridoxic acid is the main metabolite of vitamin B6.
20-50 mg / day of vitamin B6 and multivitamins are recommended.
52) High levels of pantothenic acid indicate a high intake of vitamin B5.
Pantothenic acid is an essential vitamin B.
Higher numbers do not necessarily indicate a need to reduce pantothenic acid intake, as some people may need to consume more pantothenic acid.
54) Substandard levels of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) may be associated with suboptimal health conditions (such as underdose, malabsorption and enterotoxemia).
It is recommended to take 1000mg of vitamin C supplement daily in 2 to 3 divided doses.
Low levels of the following metabolites are not clinically significant:
Citramalic acid, 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 4-hydroxybenzene, 4-hydroxyhippuric acid, 3-indoleacetic acid, glycerin,Glucose, oxalate, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, 2-hydroxybutyric acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, aconitic acid, quinolinic acid, kynurenic acid, quinoline / 5-HIAA ratio,Thymine, ethylmalonic acid, methylsuccinic acid, adipic acid, suberic acid, glutaric acid, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutanic acid, methylcitric acid, orotic acid
62-74) Low numbers of amino acid metabolites indicate the absence of genetic disorders in amino acid metabolism.
These markers are byproducts of deamination (the state of ammonia removed) and are elevated when the enzyme is poorly functioning.
Slight increases may be due to genetic mutations or heterozygous conditions and may be alleviated with dietary restrictions and supplements.
Low levels of amino acid metabolites are not associated with inadequate protein uptake and are not specific amino acid defects.

Benzene’s toxicity can be exacerbated by phenol and hydroquinone, so alcohol, coffee, and tea containing them should be avoided.
Also, cigarette smoke, which contains both benzene and phenolic compounds, is highly carcinogenic.
Some pathogenic enterobacteria cause the body to convert certain amino acids (tyrosines) into phenolic compounds.
So if your benzene marker is elevated, you should also look at your gut health.
