Wellness Treatment DIAGNOSTIC / SCREENING / TESTING 1) Toxic Metal/Environmental Pollutant & Detoxification Testing We are all exposed to environmental toxins on a daily basis. This is increasingly problematic and a contributor to health-related issues. The liver is vital for proper detoxification and elimination of such toxins but for some individuals there is an impairment of the liver detoxification pathways. Testing for hepatic detoxification and environmental toxins allow for a proper targeted treatment. 2) Stool Test for Leaky Guts A stool analysis is a series of tests done on a stool (faeces) sample to help diagnose certain conditions affecting the digestive tract . These conditions can include infection (such as from parasites, viruses, or bacteria), poor nutrient absorption, or cancer. For a stool analysis, a stool sample is collected in a clean container and then sent to the laboratory. Laboratory analysis includes microscopic examination, chemical tests, and microbiologic tests. The stool will be checked for colour, consistency, amount, shape, odour, and the presence of mucus. The stool may be examined for hidden (occult) blood, fat, meat fibers, bile, white blood cells, and sugars called reducing substances. The pH of the stool also may be measured. A stool culture is done to find out if bacteria may be causing an infection. 3) Food Allergy and Food Intolerance Testing A true food allergy causes an immune system reaction that affects numerous organs in the body. It can cause a range of symptoms. In some cases, an allergic food reaction can be severe or life-threatening. In contrast, food intolerance symptoms are generally less serious and often limited to digestive problems. Food Allergy Test: • By taking a blood test, the test result will be received within a few working days. • A food allergy is an exaggerated immune system response to a food protein and   the body triggers an allergic reaction. Symptoms can include hives, itching,   swelling, vomiting, diarrhoea and nausea. In some cases, it can cause potentially   life-threatening symptoms, called anaphylaxis, either by breathing difficulties   and/or a sudden drop in blood pressure. Food Intolerance Test: • By taking a blood test, the test report comes with a small guideline booklet will be   received after 1 week. • For further understanding a food intolerance occurs when a person has difficulty   digesting a particular food due to lacking of specific digestive enzyme. This can   lead to symptoms such as intestinal gas, abdominal pain or diarrhoea. 4) DNA Analysis DNA testing is a powerful tool for identification and has many practical applications. Common uses include: Parental testing - to establish if someone is the biological parent of a child Evaluation allows for valuable targeted treatment such as inflammation, cardiac diseases, detoxification capacity, cancer, methylation, diabetes, mental illness and Alzheimer's. A genetic test is an analysis of our DNA. This analysis can help determine if there is a mutation that can cause a disease. Genetic testing can be performed on DNA taken from blood cells, or sometimes from other body fluids or tissues. Genetic testing can be used to find out whether a person is carrying a specific altered gene (genetic mutation) that causes a particular medical condition. It may be carried out for a number of reasons, including to: diagnose a person with a genetic condition help work out the chances of a person developing a particular condition determine whether a person is a carrier of a certain genetic mutation that could be inherited by any children they have. Example from DNA Test Analysis: Cardio Metabolic, Onco Testing, Wellness & Fitness: Cardiovascular disease has affected most of us in some way and it is important to look beyond cholesterol when evaluating cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular disease as the number one cause of mortality in both men and women, prevention is a key. That makes this special cardiovascular testing very essential in evaluation, education and treatment. Cardio-oncology or onco-cardiology are terms coined to describe the field of integrative medicine between cardiologists and oncologists. Close interactions between the 2 specialties are required for the optimal care of many patients with cancer. Cancer patients with prior cardiac disease are usually more susceptible to the cardiotoxic effects of oncologic treatment. 4) Telomeres Test Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes, like the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces. Without the coating, shoelaces become frayed until they can no longer do their job, just as without telomeres, DNA strands become damaged and our cells can't do their job. The purpose of telomere length testing is to determine a person's biological age. This determination can be vastly different from their age in calendar years. The test is done by taking a blood sample and examining part of the chromosomes related to aging. Shorter telomeres are an indication of premature aging and greater risk for age-related disease and poor health outcomes. Back to Top
