Allergy Testing (ALCAT Test)
The ALCAT test helps define the right diet for optimum health and performance. Shown to be highly accurate in identifying the relevant foods and substances associated with many types of chronic inflammatory and metabolic disorders, the ALCAT test takes the guesswork out of therapeutic dietary planning. This type of testing is more specific than traditional allergy testing, which only measures IGE response (acute anaphalaxis-type reactions). The ALCAT test measures all pathways of the immune system from one simple non-fasting blood draw. Clinical results have been shown to be 85 percent effective in reducing symptoms.
Essential Fatty Acid Testing
Quality oils and fats are actually essential in maintaining health and in the prevention of certain chronic diseases. The body needs a healthy ratio of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats – some polyunsaturated fats are as essential as vitamins and minerals for the maintenance of good health. This test measures the levels of these essential fatty acids, or “good” fats.
Predictive Genomic Testing for Personalized Medicine
Predictive genomic profiles assess genetic variations in each person, that, when combined with modifiable factors in the environment, may increase disease risk. The results of this test enable doctors to realize earlier, more effective preventive interventions (often years before disease develops); precise, customized therapies that truly address each individual’s needs; and improved clinical insight into patients with treatment-resistant chronic conditions.
Regulation Thermography
Regulation thermography is a non-invasive biological screening method that can detect thermal (skin temperature) changes that precede disease states, making this test a true tool for preventive health care. This state-of-the-art procedure provides a uniquely personal profile of organs, including those which are stressed, and patterns of dysfunctional relationships between organs. Test results allow for much greater certainty in recommending nutrients that are very specific for a body's exact needs. This test helps doctors determine which organs are not functioning properly, and to also discover where the “root cause” of an imbalance may lie. Regulation thermography is ideal for determining dental and breast health.
Rhythmogram (Heart Rate Variability Diagnosis)
Rythymography is a simple, painless test that can help determine one's degree of physical fitness, and current psychological and emotional states. This test graphs the relationship between the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system, a relationship which reflects the body’s regulating process. Rhythmogram findings have been well-documented in a number of medical and scientific publications, and in conference reports from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.
Saliva Tests for Endocrine Function
An optimally functioning endocrine system (a family of glands and organs within the body) is vital to restoring and maintaining good health. Endocrine system diagnostic testing helps reveal the hidden causes of health problems, by determining whether certain hormones levels are optimum and in balance. These tests help determine the need for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, as well as to check the adrenal glands of patients suffering from fatigue, weak immunity and insomnia.
Stool Analysis
Comprehensive digestive stool analysis evaluates the status of the body’s digestive tract. Enzyme production, gut flora, yeast overgrowth, parasite evaluation, gut immune function and blood leakage are only a few parameters measured by this test. This evaluation is helpful for patients with afflictions such as irritable bowel syndrome, mal-absorption, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Expanded Blood-work Analysis
By looking at a patient’s standard blood-work, doctors trained in expanded blood-work analysis are able to extrapolate information that can be missed by some doctors – often pinpointing nutritional deficiencies as well as trends toward certain pathology conditions before they actually occur in the body.
Heavy Metals Testing
Through a simple home-based test, patients utilize a chelating agent that “extracts” metal stored in the body’s fat tissue and excretes them through the patient’s urine.
