Which lab do you prefer? I only recommend two labs when it comes to comprehensive stool testing, Genova Diagnostics or Doctors Data.

Greetings, Eric Bakker, naturopath from New Zealand. Thanks for coming back, checking out my videos. We're doing a series on stool testing today. The question is: Is Genova Diagnostics a good lab? Are they any better than Doctor's Data? Should they be your preference to stool test with? Well, I'm not one really to say one's better or one's worse than the other. I would say that they would both be on par. Genova Diagnostics is a very, very lab just like Doctor's Data. And a lot of it comes down to personal preference. 

Some would argue and say that Genova Diagnostics have much better reports and also better training systems, like they've got interpretive guides you can download off the internet but I think you can do the same with Doctor's Data.

So you could self test and then do the interpretation yourself or work with your doctor. He can help you interpret that test for you. 

Both use, I would say, identical techniques now, they use PCR technology for anaerobic bacteria. They use what's called [Malditoft 00:01:06], which is a brand new technique now for species identification when it comes to yeast and bacterial parasites. I'm just trying to remember the acronym for that, I forget now, it's a long word, malditoft. But it's a brand new technique based on laser ionization. So it's apparently the latest thing out for species identification but both Doctor's Data do this and Genova Diagnostics do it so species can be identified now. Thousands of different types of bacteria and yeast can be identified now quite accurately with this brand new DNA kind of laser technique.

So don't ask me technically how it works, it sounds all complicated. 

I just mainly work with results and with patients, I don't really dive too much into the technology behind how these tests are performed. But if you were just starting out and wanted a stool test done, work, obviously, with a health care professional and you're probably gonna work with that man or lady's preference for a lab. 

My preference personally is for Doctor's Data in Chicago but somebody else's preference may well be for Genova Diagnostics. 

I've got a good friend in New Zealand who used to work for a company called Great Smokey's Diagnostics Labs, GSDL, and then they turned into Genova, except of course she's telling me that she much prefers Genova, whereas I've worked with companies before, a long time ago, that used to represent Doctor's Data in Australia, New Zealand.

So it's your call to decide which lab you wanna work with but also, most likely, your practitioner's call. But you can't go wrong with Genova Diagnostics, they are a premier lab like Doctor's Data and the only two labs I suggest you would use. If you're serious about your health would either be Genova or Doctor's Data. So it's your call. Thanks for tuning in.
