C.B.C. with differential — Complete blood count with a percentage count of the five major types of white blood cells. Increases or decreases of these counts are used to diagnose certain medical conditions, such as weakness, fatigue, bruising, anemia, infection, and many other disorders.

T-3, T-4 — These are tests for thyroid function. T4 and T3 are important hormones in the regulation of metabolism, produced by the thyroid, a gland located at the front part of the neck. The most common thyroid problems involve abnormal (over or under) production of thyroid hormones.

Highly sensitive T.S.H — TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. This is a screening test for abnormal thyroid function, which may include slowed rate of functioning by the body, causing mental and physical sluggishness.

Anti-thyroid antibodies – this is yet another test to determine thyroid function and is part of the thyroid panel.

S.G.O.T — also known as the liver panel (series of tests), used to detect liver damage or disease. The liver plays a major role in metabolism and has a number of other functions in the body, including storage of short-term energy compounds, decomposition of red blood cells, creation of blood building blocks, and detoxification. The liver helps purify the blood by changing potentially harmful chemicals into harmless ones, and can be damaged by drugs, alcohol, and other toxins. Liver failure is fatal.

DMPS Challenge ─ Heavy Metal Toxins

Urine toxic and essential elements analysis is an invaluable tool for the assessment of retention of toxic metals in the body and the status of essential nutrient elements. Toxic metals do not have any useful physiological function, adversely affect virtually every organ system and disrupt the effectiveness and balance of nutrient elements. Analysis of the levels of toxic metals in urine after the administration of a metal detoxification agent is an objective way to evaluate the accumulation of toxic metals. It is common to observe a chronic, low-level exposure to toxic metals that can result in significant retention in the body that can be associated with a vast array of adverse health effects physical and mental. In many cases, mental effects precede physiological changes. To discover the presence of toxins, the doctor administers DMSA or DMPS challenge, usually by injection. These compounds have a high affinity for specific metals, and function by sequestering “hidden” metals from deep tissue stores and mobilizing the metals to the kidneys for excretion in the urine. Through this method, we can discover if toxicity, specifically to heavy metals, may be contributing to the state of ill health. We can then prep the patient for their removal though the sauna purification or in some cases, ongoing Intravenous therapy.
