Functional Intracellular Analysis

50% of those taking supplements will remain deficient.

There is overwhelming evidence confirming that vitamin deficiencies are associated with disease processes and the overall condition of your health. Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress the function of the immune system which can contribute to degenerative processes such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, to name a few. Yet you, like many other people, may be deficient in some vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and/or other essential micronutrients and not even know it.  University research shows that 50% of people taking supplements remain deficient. These deficiencies can contribute to disease processes and keep you from performing your best.

Why isn't the standard lipids panel enough to screen for incipient heart disease? Well, for one thing, there are many more factors than cholesterol that are associated with heart disease, and some of them may be even more important than cholesterol. Also, although we tend to think of heart attacks as happening to "older" people, 5% of all heart attacks occur in people younger than 40, and 45% occur in people younger than 65. Routine lipid testing can miss up to 75% of these people. Panels of blood tests that look beyond cholesterol and triglycerides can catch 90% or more of people headed for cardiovascular disease. These panels look at a multitude of factors that are indicators of cardiovascular risk independent of cholesterol. This information is critical to those with a family history of heart disease, since routine tests can give patients a false sense of health.

Patient Information on Allergy Immunization.

Up to 25 percent of the population in the industrialized world suffers from allergies, and the number is rising. Allergies are reactions of the immune system to substances that, in most people, cause no symptoms. Allergies occur due to an immune response that reacts towards natural substances in the environment in the same way it would react towards something harmful. The reason that the immune system reacts to a harmless substance is unknown.
