Through laboratory testing, using
specialized labs throughout the country,
one can test for those factors which
become abnormal during the stage of
dysfunction which in many cases is more
than 10 years before disease sets in.
All of these tests are important to
expose areas of dysfunction, which if
left untreated will ultimately lead to
heart disease, cancer and stroke as well
as most other diseases.
Examples of these tests include
measurements of
- Oxidative stress;
- Fibrinogen;
- Homocysteine;
- Lipoprotein (a);
- Fasting and 2 hour post prandial
glucose and insulin;
- Nutrient Levels including:
Vitamins A, C, E, Beta Carotene,
Lycopene, Lutein, Coenzyme Co Q 10,
Folate, B12 & Intracellular
Magnesium;
- Hormone Levels including
Estrogen, Progesterone,
Testosterone, Dhea, T3, T4, Tsh,
Somatomedin C (IGF-1) & Cortisol;
- Comprehensive Digestive Stool
Analysis;
- Cardio C-Reactive Protein;
- H. Pylori;
- Prostate Evaluation;
- EDTA and DMSA Challenge Tests to
detect the presence of toxic heavy
metals (mercury, aluminum, lead,
cadmium, arsenic and nickel);
- Cardiovision (an inexpensive,
non-invasive way to detect
cardiovascular disease);
- AMAS (for the early detection of
cancer); and of course,
- Those tests routinely used
including the CBC, SMAC, U/A, EKG,
etc.
 The
importance for the patient of having
these tests performed is that when
dysfunction is uncovered, intervention
can be initiated - not with drugs
- but with lifestyle changes which
include attention to nutrition (both
foods and supplements consumed),
exercise, stress and the avoidance of
dangerous lifestyle choices, such as
smoking. In addition, the following may
be suggested: 1) the judicious use of
natural hormone replacement; 2) the
appropriate use of nutritional
supplementation: 3) Chelation therapy:
4) acupuncture; 5) massage therapy; and
6) anti-aging skin care. |

By implementing all of these measures,
dysfunction can be corrected, and the
patient will have a much greater chance of
preserving health and avoiding disease. In
fact, this approach was endorsed by a study
undertaken by the US Government Department
of Agriculture back in 1972 in which it was
determined that most illness is
nutritionally related, and that a 50% or
greater reduction in the incidence of heart
disease, cancer, stroke and other health
problems could be achieved through
appropriate diet and lifestyle changes.
