Laboratory Assessment tests
This test on hair shows both mineral deficiencies and excesses, and the presence of toxic metals. The vast majority of chemical reactions that govern cellular processes are in turn regulated by enzymatic reactions. Enzyme catalysts most often require mineral cofactors to operate. Magnesium and zinc, for instance, are cofactors in hundreds of enzymatic reactions. Toxic elements, on the other hand, can interfere with enzymatic reactions and disrupt cellular activities. Thus, element insufficiencies or excesses have a significant impact on health.
Most people are unaware that they have food allergies. Such allergies can show up as different symptoms in different people, e.g. arthritis symptoms, intestinal symptoms, headaches, poor sleep and many others. The incidence of food and environmental allergies has risen dramatically. Common food products most frequently incriminated in allergic reactions are now often hidden as ingredients in commercial foods. Other possible reasons include: genetic manipulation of plants resulting in food components which cross-react with normal tissues, lack of diversity in the average diet, decreased stomach hydrochloric acid with aging. A blood test for food allergies provides information on your allergic response to 96 of the most common foods to which people are allergic, or 95 vegetarian foods, or spices and herbs, or 15 add-on vegetarian foods.
· Blood test
This blood test is more than just a blood test such as the 24-chemistry panel run by your doctor. This test has the results run through the Carbon Based Corporation computer database to analyze the blood test and report imbalances and helps identify systemic or glandular weaknesses. It also matches your individual chemistry to known disease patterns. It also gives specific nutrients, foods and supplements which will help normalize the individual’s blood chemistry.
· Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
This stool test shows how well the digestive system is working to digest proteins and fats and carbohydrates. It also shows overgrowth of pathogenic organisms. Without adequate breakdown and assimilation of food, even the best diet offers little help. Additionally, incomplete or faulty digestive processes may lead to a variety of chronic disorders. Gastrointestinal disorders have a major impact on health. Mal-digestion, mal-absorption, and abnormal intestinal flora and ecology, as well as many complex chronic illnesses and symptoms, lie at the root of most common gastrointestinal complaints. The Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis provides a critical tool for evaluating the status of the gastrointestinal tract, and points to the steps that need to be taken to correct imbalances.
· Comprehensive Liver Detoxification Profile
This blood and saliva test provides a profile of the body’s detoxification capacity and potential susceptibility to oxidative damage. The blood test that most doctors run shows elevated enzymes if there is liver damage, but it does not show how well your liver is functioning. The liver is one of the body’s primary self-defense mechanisms by the conversion and “neutralization” of metabolic products and toxins into soluble and safe by-products, which can then be eliminated. The challenges of food-borne toxic chemicals, environmental pollutants etc can overload the liver, leading to greater production of free radicals and greater risk of systemic damage to the body.
· Hormone Profiles
This is a non-invasive test using saliva test the hormone levels of estrogen and progesterone, androgens (DHEA and testosterone) and cortisol. This test is good for monitoring and therapy of age related decline of hormones in men and women.
