Nutritional supplements
You can be deficient in micronutrients and not even know
it. Studies have shown that 50% of patients taking a multivitamin are
functionally deficient in one or more essential nutrients that are vital to long
term health. Scientific evidence also confirms such deficiencies are associated
with disease processes and the overall condition of your health. Deficiencies
suppress the function of the immune system and contribute to degenerative
processes.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TO TAKE?
Sometimes it is difficult to know what supplements you
might need. We use two tests in order
to determine if you might benefit from nutritional supplements. The first test
is obtained by blood test analysis of your lymphocyte growth patterns and the
second test is obtained by analysis of your DNA obtained from swabbing the
inside of your cheek.
1. Functional
Intracellular Analysis
(FIA) is a next generation blood test for measuring
specific vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other essential micronutrients
within an individual's white blood cells (lymphocytes). For more information

This test is covered by
Medicare and most PPO and POS insurance plans.
2.
Gene SNP analysis:
The Gene SNP DNA Screening Analysis provides the latest in advanced technology
and sophisticated scientific and nutritional analysis. Its purpose is to improve
the health, wellness and quality of life of an individual through a uniquely
customized nutritional program based on the analysis of their genetic makeup.
Through a simple test procedure, a DNA sample and responses to a questionnaire
can be conveniently collected from you and subjected to an advanced nutritional
analysis. Your genetic profile will form the basis of your individualized
