Bio-Chemical Nutrition Testing
Simple saliva and urine tests can be done in a few minutes in the office to show you the efficiency of your metabolism.
The tests will show if you have:
* enough available minerals in your system,
* a zinc deficiency,
* a vitamin C deficiency,
* a calcium deficiency,
* a stressed nervous system,
* an oxygen or water deficiency,
* malabsorption problems,
* adrenals that are fatigued or exhausted,
* too many free radicals in your system,
* too much harmful bacteria in your intestines.
These tests provide quantitative, tangible and reproducible results that are available
immediately and can be checked regularly.
Why do you want to know these results?
Your urine and saliva fluids show how your metabolism is functioning by measuring the bio-chemical states that lead toward health or disease.
Some of the reasons to do these tests is when:
1 You have been taking supplements for a while and you want to see if they are working.
2 You have some digestive symptoms that you are questioning.
3 You want to be sure your health is as good as it can be.
4 You are curious about a specific area of your system and you want it checked.
Here is a specific list of the numerous tests that are completed in the office during your session:
Saliva pH Stress Test
This test helps show the level of nervous system stress and mineral deficiency.
Zinc Taste Test
Zinc is an essential co-factor of the immune system and sexual system.
Malabsorption Test
This urine test screens the level of malabsorption and inflammation in the colon.
Adrenal Stress Test
This is a urine test that measures adrenal stress or adrenal fatigue depending on the amount of sodium displaced into your urine.
Vitamin C Test
Vitamin C is crucial to the health of the immune system, vascular and connective tissue, and is a powerful anti-oxidant. .
Calcium Test
We measure your urinary calcium to determine if you are absorbing the calcium you are consuming.
Free Radical Test
Cell degeneration caused by free radical damage can be measured in this urine test.
Multistix Urine Test
This is a urine test that measures 10 urine metabolic categories including pH, glucose, ketones, leukocytes, specific gravity, etc.
Sugar Imbalance Test
This urine test measures the amount of sugar dissolved in the urine. A high reading indicates oxygen deficiency in the cells.
By combining results of these tests, we can see if:
your digestive system is working well
your cells are getting enough oxygen
your cells are hydrated properly
you have carbohydrate, sugar, protein, or fat absorption problems
you are aging too quickly.
This testing is recommended to be done monthly until a nutritional protocol is developed that works for your specific needs. You will receive a four page results handout after each session.
This testing is often combined with the Electro-Dermal Screening test to help determine your nutritional needs. Each session is schedule for two hours to complete both tests effectively. Call 269-429-9554 for your appointment.
