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. Identifying the status of the blood is an important contribution to the assessment of the level of overall health. However, results from blood work can be quite misleading when it comes to nutritional status. The body will do whatever is necessary to maintain homeostasis in the blood, such as remove calcium and other minerals from the bone to create balance in the blood. The life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11-NLT). Many people are given a clean bill of health from their medical doctor based on blood results that are "within range". However, many labs differ on their ranges. Blood work reports normal, yet disease can be building in the body.
Because a blood test doesn't show real nutrient deficiencies, it is of very little value in terms of designing a nutritional program.
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. Looking at the function of the body from many different angles is critical to identifying and creating a path to health.
Examples of Early Warning Screenings and Tests available
from Nutritional Direction:
Vitamin Deficiency Tests
This urine test assesses B vitamin status as well as other metabolite deficiencies such as CoQ10, Carnitine, Lipoic Acid. It also measures harmful byproducts that are damaging to cells and associated with cancer, arthritis, heart disease, stroke, aging and many other diseases.
Neurotransmitter Testing
These are chemical messengers, which when unbalanced can result in anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADD, OCD, fatigue, cravings, eating disorders. They can be rebalanced through the guidance of a skilled health care practitioner with targeted amino acid therapy.
Mineral Deficiency Tests
This hair tissue analysis identifies deficiences of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and 8 other critical minerals. It also identifies heavy toxic metals, as well as organ, gland and system imbalances.
Hormone Imbalances
Adrenal Cortisol, Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, Insulin, DHEA, etc. Saliva tests for hormones are more reflective of actual hormones available for use by the body than blood tests. Chronically elevated cortisol and insulin are most aging.
Pre-pathological Bio-meridian Assessment
This in-office test detects imbalances in the energy flow in the body caused by bacteria, chemicals, molds, fungus, viruses, pesticides, etc. It also identifies which organs and systems of the body are most burdened, in order to re-create balance.
