Outside of the process of obtaining the initial drop of blood, it’s unclear exactly how the test is performed.
BURLINGTON, Vt. – Medical doctors couldn’t help a teenager with thyroid disease who had trouble getting out of bed. They had no remedy for a child with a common infection causing persistent skin lesions., a test without research or FDA approval behind it, some naturopathic physicians say they’ve succeeded where modern medicine failed.
The test has no evidence-based or peer-reviewed research behind it. It is not covered by insurance, and neither the method nor the device used to analyze the blood are FDA approved. A spokesperson for the American Naturopathic Certification Board said the organization was familiar with the test, “however, it is not a modality that one of our traditional naturopaths would use."
Elliott, who has a practice near Burlington, said that the way the test works is something even those in the field don’t fully understand. “Similar to other scientific advances, it’s possible to use a tool even if we don’t 100% understand how it works,” Elliott said. Carreyrou found that Theranos took billions from investors before developing a device that could actually achieve those results, and its founder, Elizabeth Holmes, now faces up to 20 years of jail on multiple counts of fraud.
