Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I have Comprehensive Nutritional Blood Analysis?
It is a verifiable way of documenting how healthy you really are. Not just how you “feel”. Don’t guess about your health, get the facts.
We offer a science based approach to nutritional health care. Have you ever been told that you are “fine” but still feel bad? Or maybe you really do feel that you are in perfect health. Many problems show up in the blood long before you actually “feel” symptoms. Did you know you can have 20% liver or kidney function left and still have virtually no symptoms? You can also have up to 30% bone loss before that loss is visible on X-ray. How do you know if you’re truly healthy? Certain tests, when read properly, will indicate whether or not you are progressing toward a serious illness, such as cancer, liver, heart or many other diseases.
Blood chemistry is the ultimate tool in biomedical laboratory science. A routine panel can screen for blood sugar, lipid, renal, hepatic, biliary, cardiovascular, immune and hematological disorders and risk. And dysfunctions in every system of the body can be managed and sometimes even reversed by changes in diet, life-style and non-pharmaceutical medicines.

How long will it take before I start to see improvement in my health problems?
Determining the underlying metabolic imbalances that are specific for you are a key component in our testing process. Our goal is to balance your blood chemistry and get you healthier. Progress is the key and there should be some definite, objective improvement within about 1 to 2 months if what we are doing and recommend is going to work. Do you have 2 months? If you can give us 2 months and you really work and do what is needed, it is highly unusual that progress/improvement is not seen. Then the goal is to keep you improving on a consistent basis. Some patients take longer than others. We make no guarantees that you will have similar results to someone else who had a successful or remarkable recovery. Success is largely dependent upon compliance.
How do we know our recommendations will work for you?
We retest to determine your progress. We strongly suggest retesting in 6 weeks after implementing your individualized program.
How much does the retesting cost?
$250.00
