Comprehensive Blood Analysis is the process
whereby nutritional deficiencies are evaluated using the "Gold Standard", blood laboratory analysis, using the scientific method. Just like your physician orders to assess your current state
of health. Examples include Cholesterol, Liver functions, etc.
Through this process,
we can evaluate what vitamins you need to take in order achieve "Optimal Health".
We also make it easy to order this test. We have drawing stations throuout the U.S., where we will send you to have
your blood drawn and then analyzed for nutritional deficiencies. This is all included when you buy the comprehensive blood analysis and workup.
Following the vitamins therapy, after
approximately 2 months, another analysis is ordered (at an additional cost), to see if you are achieving the desired goals.
Finally a scientific method to determine if the vitamins therapy is working and how to ensure "Optimal" results.

WHAT YOU GET (Regular Cost, $380):
| Complete Blood Count | WBC-White blood cells are the body's
primary defense against disease. White blood cells help fight infection.
RBC-Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide to all cells. Iron
deficiency will lower RBC.
Hemoglobin-A
chemical compound inside red cells that transports oxygen through the blood stream to all cells of the body. Oxygen is needed
for healthy organs. Hemoglobin gives the red color to blood.
Hematocrit - Hematocrit measures the amount of space red blood cells take up in the
blood. It is reported as a percentage.
Lymphocytes-The results of this and basophils, eosinophils, monocytes and neutrophils deal with white
blood cell function. Important to the body's defense against infection. Also important in the assessment of nutritional
status.
Monocytes-
The results of this and basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and neutrophils deal with white blood cell function. Important
to the body's defense against infection. Also important in the assessment of nutritional status.
MCH Mean- corpuscular hemoglobin is one
way to measure the average hemoglobin concentration within red blood cells, which varies from normal with different diseases.
MCHC Mean- corpuscular
hemoglobin concentration.
MCV Mean- corpuscular volume measures red blood cell volume.
Monocytes Important in the assessment of nutritional
status.
Neutrophils-
The results of this and basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes deal with white blood cell function. Important
to the body's defense against infection. Also important in the assessment of nutritional status.
Platelets- Blood cell particles involved
with the forming of scabs.
RDW- Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a calculation of the variation in the size of your RBCs. In some anemias,
such as pernicious anemia, the amount of variation (anisocytosis) in RBC size (along with variation in shape – poikilocytosis)
causes an increase in the RDW.esterol cholesterol, heart disease

| Liver Profile | Alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT)- an enzyme found primarily in the liver. Abnormalities
may represent liver dysfunction.
Albumin - serum
one of the major proteins in the blood and a reflection of the general state of
nutrition.
Albumin/Globulin
ratio - Calculated by dividing the albumin by the globulin.
Alkaline
phosphatase - A body protein important in diagnosing proper bone and liver functions.
Aspartate
aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) - an enzyme found in skeletal and heart muscle, liver and other organs. Abnormalities
may represent liver disease.
Bilirubin - Total A chemical involved with
liver functions. High concentrations may result in jaundice.
Globulin, Total - A major group of proteins in the blood comprising the infection fighting
antibodies.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) - An enzyme found mostly in
the heart, muscles, liver, kidney, brain, and red blood cells. When an organ of the body is damaged, LDH is released in greater
quantity into the blood stream.
Protein, Total - Together with albumin, it is a measure of the state of nutrition in the body.
GGT - GGT Also known as:
Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, GGTP Formal name: Gamma-glutamyl transferase helps to detect liver and bile duct injury. Some doctors use it in all people they suspect
of having liver disease, others use it only to help explain the cause of other changes or if they suspect alcohol abuse

| Kidney Panel | Urea Nitrogen (BUN) - A by-product of protein metabolism eliminated through the kidneys.
BUN is an indicator of kidney function.
Creatinine, Serum - An indicator
of kidney function.
Uric acid - Another by-product of protein metabolism
eliminated through the kidneys. Uric acid is an indicator of kidney function.
Bun/Creatinine
- Ratio Calculated by dividing the BUN by the Creatinine. |
| Thyroid Panel | The
thyroid gland synthesizes, stores and releases hormones. The hormones secreted are iodine containing amino acids, thyroxine
(T4) and triiodo-thyronine (T3). The thyroid hormones influence a diversity of metabolic processes. These tests help to evaluate
thyroid hormones that control the body's metabolic rate.
Total
T-4 (Thyroxine)
T-3 uptake
Free-Thyroxine Index (FTI) T-7
TSH |
| Cardiovascular Function - Heart Disease | Cholesterol, Total - A sterol in the blood. Knowing your cholesterol may
be as important as knowing your blood pressure. Elevated cholesterol is associated with an increasing risk of coronary heart
disease.
HDL - Cholesterol High-density lipoproteins are believed to
take cholesterol away from cells and transport it back to the liver for processing or removal. They have become known as the
"good" cholesterol as persons with high levels of HDL may have less heart disease. Low HDL could be the result of
smoking and lack of exercise.
LDL - Cholesterol Low-density lipoproteins
contain the greatest percentage of cholesterol and may be responsible for depositing cholesterol on the artery walls. For
that reason, they could be known as the "bad" cholesterol.
Cholesterol/HDL
Ratio - Calculated by dividing the total cholesterol by the HDL cholesterol. Ratio used by physicians in determining
your relative risk for developing cardiovascular heart disease.
Triglycerides
- Triglycerides is a fat in the blood responsible for providing energy to the cells of the body. Triglycerides should be less
than 400 mg/dl even in a non-fasting state. |
| Bone And Minerals | Iron, Total - An abnormally low test result may indicate iron deficiency
anemia.
Calcium - A mineral essential for development and maintenance
of healthy bones and teeth. It is important also for the normal function of muscles, nerves and blood clotting.
Phosphorus - Together with calcium, it is essential for healthy development of bones
and teeth. Associated with hormone imbalance, bone disease and kidney disease. It is found mainly in bones and teeth. NOTE:
a temporary drop in phosphorus level can be seen after a meal. |
| Fluids & Electrolytes | Chloride, Serum - Similar to sodium, it helps to maintain the body's
electrolyte balance.
Potassium - Helps to control the nerves and muscles.
Sodium, Serum - One of the major salts in the body fluid; sodium is important
in the body's water balance and the electrical activity of nerves and muscles.
Carbon Dioxide - ordered as part of an electrolyte panel. The electrolyte panel is
used to detect, evaluate, and monitor electrolyte imbalances.

| Diabetes | | Glucose
- Blood sugar level, the most direct single test to uncover diabetes, may be used not only to identify diabetes, but
also to evaluate how one controls the disease. |
