so, i got a few tests done and here's my update...

these tests were skipped, for now:
- vitamin e
- vitamin k
- selenium
- molybdenum
- manganese
- iodine

these tests are pending at lifelabs:
- vitamin c
- asca   <---crohn's
- mercury

these tests are pending from dynacare:
- pyruvate
- gastrin  <---stomach ulcers
- copper serum

these tests need to be done at dynacare because only they offer them, although i'd rather they were done at lifelabs because they have a free reporting system:
- glutathione  <----- windsor site does not collect
- balp  (not yet ordered)

this test requires a 12 hour fast:
- amino acid fractionation 

this test is covered by ohip but is not offered anywhere in the region:
- serum oxalate

this test is only available in a california lab:
-hepcidin

these tests are yet to be requested, but are covered:
- pth  
- calcitonin
- cortisol

i will need to pay for these tests out of pocket next weekish:
- celiac ($90 at dynacare)
- cea  ($36 at lifelabs)
- p-anca  + c-anca ($70 at lifelabs)
- psa: ($35 at lifelabs )
- another fit test ($59 at dynacare only)
- osteocalcin  ($65 at lifelabs)  <----double check, info from med labs
- igf-1 ($70 at dynacare) <-----double check, info from med labs
