THE CORRECT BLOOD TESTS TELL THE STORY!
Still having issues with weight, cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis or any ailment? You cannot manage what you don't measure. Insist on the most encompassing tests you can request.
Heavy metals. Why would you want to check on these? There are so many toxins out there that have heavy metal insults that as we age, our bodies have an increasingly difficult time filtering these out. Side affects from heavy metal concentrations include brain fog, memory issues, lethargy, weight gain, hair loss, allergies and so much more.
Doctors don't even touch the surface with the types of tests they use (aka the cheapest and least effective ones touted by the insurance companies) so if you doctor says that your heavy metals test came back where there's very little heavy metals to be concerned, then I can tell you that you need to dig further. A little on their test could mean a lot more on better tests. Our recommendation:
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies - again, Doctors's favorite tests to do are the ones dictated by the insurance companies and big pharma. These are SERUM or PLASMA level tests. What this measures is what is floating around in your blood stream. Why this is insufficient? Because to accurately determine deficiencies and problems you need to know what nutrients have made it into the cells. Also know as a RBC (red blood cell) or erythrocyte tests. Only then can you accurately determine deficiencies.
Our recommendation: INSIST that your doctor do RBC testing or you can use this resource listed below:
Organic Acids and Fatty Acids - insist that your doctor use a RBC test for these as well. These factors are critical in determining if you are on a path to disease.
Most doctors don't know how to read these tests because they are not versed in orthomolecular biochemistry so they just go by what the High - Normal - Low column reads. There's a lot more to it that than because when certains combinations of highs and lows are seen, that in itself is telling of issues.
Easy ways to safely detox:
Take an alkaline approach to eating.
Know your toxins.Most heavy metals require chelation and sweating for removal while plastics respond best to sweating.
Understand that it is dangerous to detox too quickly.
Most traditional forms of detox involve ingesting compounds that strip not just the bad heavy metals away but also the good minerals. A better approach is to use this natural substance which goes after the heavy metals and leaves the good minerals alone. It's called PectraSol-C and you can get it from Life Extension Foundation, www.lef.org.
The best way to sweat. Far infrared saunas are the way to go. They are safe even for those with heart conditions. Read about more benefits by clicking the link below. "As seen on Oprah"...
You need real information to work from. Taking supplements, drinking water, and working out religiously hardly suffices when you are working blind. You need to get tested, understand where you are, you have to understand that the best approach to detoxing is multifaceted. The notion of taking a pill, or, only colon cleansing, or, only sweating, or only supplementing, or only forced, doctor assisted chelation, or only dieting will only prove undesirable results. It has to be a combination of all the above.
