Screening For Nutritional Deficiencies is Critical for 

Early Warning Disease Prevention 

 

Nutritional screening is an "early warning" report for the prevention of disease, as well as a more proactive approach to health. 

  

Because standard blood tests don't show real nutrient deficiencies, they are of very little value in terms of designing a nutritional program for disease reversal or prevention.  Many people are given a clean bill of health from their medical doctor based on blood results that are "within range".  Blood work reports normal, yet disease can be building in the body.

 

Think of blood work (or one single test, for that matter) as peering into only one window of a home you've never seen before.  A more complete picture of the functional lay out of the home comes into view when you look into a few more windows or open a door or two.  So it is with testing or screening.  Looking at the function of the body from many different angles is critical to identifying and creating a path to health.
