Health Evaluation
Diagnostic Laboratory Testing:
To assess our patient’s health status better we offer variety of
specialized and standard lab testing in addition to the existing in
house Lab testing.
Bioimpedance analysis (BIA)
How would you like to know what your body composition is and what areas
need focus?
This simple, yet effective test examines several aspects of your body
composition, so that a weight loss program can be tailored specifically
for your metabolic needs.
BIA also provides insight into the toxins your body may be holding at a
cellular level.
- Are you presently using prescription drugs or one or more over the
counter drugs?
- Do you smoke or had you regularly used tobacco products within last
6 months?
- Do you have strong reaction to even small amounts of caffeine or
alcohol?
- Are you sensitive to fragrances, and strong odors?
- Do you experience “brain fog”, fatigue, or drowsiness?
- Do you suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, MS, Fibromyalgia,
Asthma Parkinson’s, ALS?
If your answer is YES to any of these you may be suffering from various
levels of toxic load. The 10 Day Detox Programmay be an excellent way
to begin relieving your body of toxic stress. This program is specially
designed to help you optimize your Phase I and Phase II detoxification
pathways, thus guiding your body to eliminate toxic compounds and
metabolic by-products, oxidative stress, and factors which may
contribute to various conditions.
Mercury and Heavy Metal Testing:
Toxic heavy metals, such as Mercury, Arsenic and Lead are typically not
excreted well from the body due to their tight binding to receptor
sites in the body tissues. That is why detoxifying agents such as
Natural Cellular Defense (NCD) activated liquid zeolite drops are
required to remove them. This process is much more effective and
significantly less costly than chelation therapy. Chelation therapy can
costs thousands of dollars per month. The office will be providing the
test kits and the instructions are included. Go to WWW.NCDTEST.COM for
more information. Please do not buy the test from this web site as I
will supply the test kit to you directly from our office so as to be
able to send you the test drops.
It is easy to do, produces quick and reliable results, and has been
scientifically proven to work. Use it to test to see if you have any of
20 different heavy metals toxicity. It will tell you the specific
levels when used in conjunction with Natural Cellular Defense drops
used to pull the metals as a chelating agent from your body.
- Buy The Drops.
You may purchase the drops directly from
our office or go online here and purchase at a wholesale discount . A
four pack retail is $199.99 or whole sale is $139.99 USD. There is a
one time “member” fee (like Cosco) of $29.99 to be able to get these
wholesale prices. It takes one box (4 bottles/month) to detox. How long
you will need this protocol depends on the level of toxicity you have.
Hair analysis
A small sample of your hair provides valuable information on levels of
heavy metals in the body. Hair analysis may be used for early detection
of elemental aberrations, because deviations often appear in hair prior
to overt symptoms.
Food Allergy/Environmental Sensitivities Test (ELISA) Panel:
If you suffer from chronic symptoms such as headache, digestive
complaints, musculoskeletal symptoms and/or skin disorders such as
eczema and psoriasis, it might be helpful to know precise triggers. The
ELISA test assesses common allergens including 95 commonly eaten foods,
common trees, grass, weeds, mould, cat, dog and mites. Both IgE and IgG
antibodies are measured for foods, while IgE is tested for inhalants.
Antibody Testing for Celiac Disease
Are you sensitive to gluten containing foods like: wheat, rye, barley
etc.? Antibody testing can be done to detect the presence of
Anti-Endomysial IgA and Anti-Gliadin IgA in the blood. Detection of
these antibodies is an aid in diagnosis of certain gluten sensitive
enteropathies such as Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis, the
two recognized forms of Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy (GSE).
Comprehensive Parasitology Profile
This test detects the presence of parasites, bacterial and fungal
pathogens. It also measures the balance between beneficial and
potentially harmful intestinal flora.
Hormone Tests for Men & Women
Are you pre- or peri-menopausal? Are you trying to conceive? Do you
have menstrual irregularities? The Female Hormone Profileis a
comprehensive salivary assessment of estradiol, progesterone, and
testosterone over a 28 day period revealing ovulatory function and
trends in hormone production.
Do you have reduced libido and muscle mass? Do you suffer from
depression, fatigue cardiovascular disease and/or osteoporosis? The
Male Hormone Profileis a salivary assessment of the daily circadian
activity of bioavailable/unbound testosterone. This test looks at
imbalances in testosterone that may be associated with a variety of
men’s health disorders.
Adrenocortrex Stress Profile
You can slow down degeneration and aging due to stress! The
Adrenocortex Stress Profileis a salivary hormone test that measures
cortisol and DHEA levels. These are indicators of adrenal hormone
imbalances which may be underlying stress-related disorders. The
disruption of healthy cortisol secretion is linked to chronic
inflammation, immune dysfunction, altered blood sugar, hypertension and
osteoporosis. DHEA levels are measured to assess natural stress
resistance and anabolic defense against degenerative conditions of
aging, including muscle wasting and abdominal obesity.
Bone Resorption Assessment
Are you worried about becoming Osteoporotic? The Bone Resorption
Assessmentprovides information on the rate of bone turnover (are you
building or breaking down bone?). Results of this test may indicate a
need for preventative and early treatment strategies to help avoid
development of osteoporosis and fractures.
Blood Typing
Want to eat right for your blood type? We offer a very simple test to
determine your blood type within minutes. We also help you choose the
right diet for your blood type.
Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
Do you suffer from digestive complaints such as gas, bloating,
abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation? The Comprehensive Digestive
Stool Analysisprovides information on maldigestion, bowel disturbances,
malabsorption of essential nutrients, excess bacterial enzyme activity,
and yeast overgrowth. These are factors which may lead to autoimmune
diseases, allergies, ulcerative colitis, IBS, and development of
carcinogenesis.
Disease Risk Assessment
Cardiac Risk Assessmentis a group of tests that looks at compounds
found in the blood that are either independent risk factors or risk
factors for heart disease.
Predictive Genomic Profiles(Genovations) identify slight variations in
an individual’s genetic code called single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) which are associated with an important physiological imbalance
or health condition. SNPs do not cause disease; they influence a
person’s susceptibility to specific environmental factors that increase
the risk of developing disease.

Iodine Skin Absorption Test

Mercury in fish brings warning
Pregnant women, kids told of risks
City goes further than Ottawa does
By: Donovan Vincent, Toronto Star
Toronto Public Health is warning pregnant women, those of child-bearing age and young children to completely avoid eating fish with high levels of mercury.
That goes further than Health Canada's fish-consumption advisory from May 2002, which warns that members of that group shouldn't eat fish with levels of mercury between 0.5 and 1.5 parts per million more than once a month.
The recommendations are in a new Toronto Public Health report.
"We're saying (pregnant women, women in child-bearing years, nursing women and young children) should avoid them completely, or eat them less frequently than once a month," Loren Vanderlinden, supervisor of environmental health assessment and policy for Toronto Public Health, said in an interview yesterday.
