Blood chemistry biomarkers are your body's instrument panel, a window into your body's function. Through blood analysis we can assess proper function and make nutritional adjustments when necessary to strive for optimal performance.  Much like the instrument panel on your car gives you important information for maintaining your car's health.

A detailed blood analysis (not the standard HMO test) will reveal many important details critical to discovering the clues necessary for you to return to optimal health.

Restoring your body to OPTIMUM health

After every 3,000 miles the average car requires an oil and filter change and is due for a general inspection. Perhaps you can get away with ignoring those guidelines for a little while, perhaps even a little after that, but sooner or later serious symptoms such as engine failure occur. Once you are at this stage, you realize that changing the engine oil on a regular basis is easy, installing a new motor is an entirely different story.

The human body is not so unlike your car: with one MAJOR difference. While you can easily replace the break-pads of your car, the windshield wipers, the fuel injectors, the engine, or perhaps the entire car, money can't buy you a new body.  Restoring and maintaining your body's optimum health is our goal.

Just as it is with machinery, the body will be damaged by the mechanical wear and tear, stress and internal pollution.

Blood Chemistry

This is the science of thoroughly analyzing the molecules circulating in your bloodstream and using the information to identify nutritional deficiencies and to correct those deficiencies. 

The blood can reveal many reasons why you don't feel well. We are trained in looking at the OPTIMUM ranges of your blood values not just the REFERENCE ranges found on a blood report. We also look at different ratios of the chemicals in the blood that give us a deeper insight to your health concerns. For example if you have osteoporosis (a lack of calcium in the bones) you could have normal levels of calcium in your blood, but if your phosphorus level is low then you may not be absorbing your calcium into your bones as well as you should.

Healthy people have test results that fall within a fairly narrow range.  Significant deviations from the optimum range may indicate a variety of poor health conditions.

Further detail on  BLOOD CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS?

This extensive blood analysis examines several markers of organ function and is designed to discern obvious or borderline abnormalities. The comprehensive blood chemistry is a blood analysis usually done first thing in the morning, after the patient fasts for 8-12 hours. This panel includes liver and kidney function indicators, cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid, iron, electrolytes and blood cell analysis markers.

Every marker has a conventionally accepted reference range, in which it is considered normal. However, a marker found within the reference range does not necessarily indicate optimum health. Small observed changes  assist meaningful interpretation of a blood chemistry result. When, for example, a condition such as hypochlorrhydria (low stomach acid) exists, the MCV may increase [due to a lack of intrinsic factor resulting in intestinal malabsorption of B12] and changes in ionic chloride are observed. Such deviations in blood chemistry values are then examined and matched to the medical history indicated by the patient. Preventative measures can then be taken to remedy the underlying pathology before a state of full-blown disease can manifest. This information may help identify potentially life-threatening conditions and diseases before they become problematic.

Conventional medicine does not perform this elaborate test for screening purposes. This is due to cost, insurance limitations, and the lack of focus on disease prevention.

WHY DO I NEED A BLOOD CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS?

• By leveling your blood chemistry values within optimum ranges, your immune system will function better, you will process and absorb nutrients more efficiently and enjoy a more vibrant state of health!
• To help determine which nutritional and homeopathic products are appropriate for YOUR individual needs.
• To implement nutritional programs designed to return your body to its natural healthy state.
• To provide early detection of developing life-threatening health conditions.
• To avoid spending money on products that you may not need.
• It is an inexpensive way to track the results of your nutritional program.  Follow-up tests allow you to chart the effectiveness of your program and to make precise adjustments when needed.

Blood chemistry analysis will always be used in conjunction with a comprehensive medical history that includes past and present illnesses, medication usage, alcohol consumption, herbal and nutritional usage, hydration, and status of health during blood draw.
