Testing for toxic elements is often the answer to chronic health issues that modern medicine has simply put "name tag" labels on. These include: high cholesterol, blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative osteoarthritis, osteopenia/osteoporosis, lupus, asthema, allergies, IBS, Colitis, macular degeneration, infertility, fibromyalgia, reproductive cancers, childhood cancers, ADD, ADHD, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, fatigue, depression, Parkinson's MS, ALS, peripheral neuropathies, pain syndromes and many, many, many more. The research that validates and documents these findings goes back greater than two decades. This research can be found in the most prestigious medical journals from the most prestigious medical schools. Medicine has simply put names and band aids on these "conditions", medicated them and treated unwanted side effects with a new disease name and more medications, then surgery on and on and on. Yes, the pharmaceutical companies have vested interest in this cycle-and conrary to what you may think, it is not betterment of your health.

Today, we are all toxic - yes, that means you, and your children and pets - for it cannot be avoided in our extremely polluted, chemical, plastic world. Research shows that every one has significant measurable amounts of unwanted carcinogens in our bodies beyond "the smallest dose". This is even being found in far away places like the Arctic Circle and in wildlife that was once exempt - even in the rain forest - plants and animals - every inch of earth has been affected and this will affect generations forever. Your children, pets and ecosystem will never be the same. Sounds like dom and gloom... Fortunately, there are state of the art, extensive detailed testing that holds the answers to your indifidual health problems which can be objectively measured so you can be treated and detoxified from the inside out. This is your biochemistry being tested through blood, urine, and stool samples. (These tests are not the standard ones done at your doctor's office - those may be helpful along with your complete medical records for review - however these tests we are talking about are very detailed and extensive in their biochemical markers.) Once we can identify where the body chemistry has gone "amuck" we can use nutritional support to fix it; not drug it. For example: no where is your body deficient in Lipitor - however it may be very low in coenzyme Q10 which is essential for proper cholesterol manufacturing and adding this in proper dose with any other co-enzymes the body uses to manufacture cholesterol may just take care of the cholesterol issue. We have to begin a new way of thinking for the next generation - for we all are responsible for our health and not just driving the body into the shop and picking it up with a list of prescription medications to make it work temporarily - or I'm afraid we are headed for very significant consequences. We are all toxic from pollutants in the environment, especially the use of plastics and out gassing from everything today (dry cleaning, plastic drinking bottles, plastic food wraps, plastic, plastic, plastic!)(Computers - wiring, ourt gassing, pesticides, cleaning agents, etc.). These chemicals/toxins take up resdiency in our fat cells, brain and vital organs for years and when the body can't handle anymore, the disease begins to show symptoms and we get a "name tag: which to call our disease by and a medication or two or three to go along with it. Remember, it takes time to rid this stuff out of the body and time is of essence to detoxify. For example, some of the toxic elements (pesticides) may take years to break down and be eliminated. This is why retesting at intervals will be as important as you clean the garbage out.
