SALIVARY HORMONE TESTING

      The saliva gland, when it makes the saliva, in the process excretes in the saliva all the cortical sterols, all the cortisone, the testosterone, the estrogen, the progesterone, the DHEA, it's all in saliva. Now the amounts of these hormones in the body can be calculated from the level in the saliva. And it only excretes the biologically active form. So you're getting a direct or proportionate measure of the body levels biologically active hormone by using saliva. Saliva testing is accurate, the saliva can be stored without changing the numbers, it's cheaper, and easier to get.

     Several companies have put together mailing kits. You collect your saliva and send it back and they'll tell you what your hormone levels were. You don't even have to go to the doctor. They have enough of an explanation so then you can show it to your doctor and the doctor will be able to learn. You can teach your doctor. They're teachable. Not very, but with effort you can.

     Cost is around $30 per hormone tested, you take saliva samples for send it back and they provide you with the results in around 7-10 days in understandable format.
