Includes:

• Metabolic functioning including Liver Function - Complete
• Pregnancy testing
• C.B.C Blood Count with a Differential - Complete
Additional testing may be requested from the doctor following the first visit, and costs of those additional tests may lie outside of the program’s standard fees.
C.B.C. with differential
Complete blood count and percentage count of the five different types of major white blood cells. Decreases or increases in these counts are utilized to diagnose specific medical conditions, for example: infection, anemia, bruising, weakness, and several other disorders.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel measures blood protein element, determines liver impairment, kidney performance, and electrolytes.
C.B.C. with differential

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel measures blood protein element, determines liver impairment, kidney performance, and electrolytes.
Test Includes:
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT);
• albumin:globulin (A:G) ratio;
• albumin, serum;
• alkaline phosphatase, detects and monitors liver disease and bone issues.
• aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT)used to asses for coronary heart disease or liver impairment
• bilirubin, total evaluates liver function
• BUN measures liver function and indirectly to assess renal function and glomerular filtration rate
• BUN:creatinine ratio;
• calcium evaluates parathyroid function and calcium metabolism.
• carbon dioxide, total;
• chloride, serum;
• creatinine, serum;
• globulin, total;
• glucose measures blood sugar levels
• potassium, serum;
• protein, total, serum;
• sodium, marker for fluid and electrolyte balance
Essential Mineral Elements and Toxic Metal Hair Test
Why hair?
Instead of a functional tissue, hair is basically an excretory tissue, respective to its enclosed elements. Hair element analysis supplies important information that, conjunctively with laboratory values and other symptoms, can aid the physician in making earlier diagnoses of physiological conditions associated with abnormalities in toxic metal and essential element metabolism.
In the hair follicle, as the protein is synthesized, elements are permanently incorporated into the hair without any further equilibration or exchange with other tissues. It is easy to test scalp hair, and since it grows on average one or two centimeters a month, it has a “temporal record” exhibiting toxic element exposure and element metabolism.
Nutrient elements including zinc, magnesium, copper, selenium, and chromium are mandatory co-factors for several hundreds of essential enzymes and are also important for the regular functions of vitamins. In hair, levels of essential elements are connected with levels in the organs and the other tissues.
Levels of toxic elements could be up to 200-300 times as concentrated in the hair as in urine or blood. Therefore, the tissue of selection to detect recent exposures to elements including mercury, lead, antimony, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum is hair. The CDC has acknowledged the value of mercury levels in hair as an infant and maternal marker for neurotoxic methylmercury exposure from fish.
