Hi pholks, I've been trying to find out how to get an ExaTest. The exatest.com website looks like something that gets substituted when the site owner hasn't renewed the domain. When I tried the phone # after about 5 rings it says No Voice Mail is Set Up and disconnects me. Phinally, the developer of the test seems to be 95+ so it's looking to be closed down. Anyone know more? And if anyone else offers the test? Thanks in advance!

The last member I recall using them was susan.d. Perhaps she will see your post & comment.

I’m sending you a PM of their email address. George had sent me an email in December 2022 to contact an afibber on this site because they too couldn’t get in touch. The following reply below is the contact info you can try on Linked-in.

I will say I’m grateful for getting the test. The results had a calculation of how much magnesium I need daily.

Good luck. I’m hoping they just merged with another lab and still in business.

I got an ExaTest in Sept. 2004. It informed me that my magnesium was low (and more about other electrolytes). However, it was a hassle for me to get the test, so subsequently I've used an RBC Magnesium test as it is much cheaper & easy to get. It is not as good, but much better than a serum magnesium test. For those in all but a few states in the US, here is a DIY order link for it [requestatest.com] My recollection is that Carolyn Dean MD goes into using the RBC test in her book,"Then Magnesium Miracle" 2nd edition. Basically she'd like you to have an RBC Magnesium level between 6.0 & 6.5 mg/dL. I run mine high, my last test was 7.2 mg/dL.

I just googled Dr Silver and saw a link dated 5-24…so I speculate they still perform the test somewhere but it’s not covered. I paid $295 or $299 during the pandemic.

Thanks, everyone. Looking at his LinkedIn page, he mentions "Selling the lab. FEI scanner for sale .Thermo X-ray attachment included" which he posted a couple of years ago. But he is still posting as recently as a couple of weeks ago, so looks like he's still alive. I'll try the email address plus a couple of others I found for him and see what happens and let you all know.

My Functional Medicine MD uses Genova Diagnostics' NutrEval for testing... check the details here:

Thanks Jackie
Yours is both a blood and urine test while EXA test used tissue to determine magnesium tissue stores. I like that yours trst bio markers.
