> if a dopamine or serotonin imbalance is detected and being treated for, urine or blood while not as accurate as spinal fluid tests, allows an individual to measure their catecholamines levels on a daily basis to ensure medication is working as expected:
> http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003561.htmI really don't know why you have posted information which falsifies your stated premises, but:
1. the blood test referenced is to presumptively detect one of two rare cancers, pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma.
2. the blood is not tested for serotonin levels (according to this reference).
3. it is not conducted daily.
4. it is not done by the individual patient, even if it was done daily.I am uncomfortable with finding posts such as yours here, as there could easily be confusion as to the correctness of the information contained therein. If this is misinformation, intended as a joke? or sarcasm?, it should be labelled in some way.
