Hair Analysis
For a better picture of overall health, hair analysis may be added to address the environment and how it may be burdening the body. It will show what toxic elements are being excreted but will also identify what they're NOT excreting.
Toxicity Testing
In today’s world, we are bombarded by toxic metals that lead to poisoning the body, including exposure to industrial, air, or water pollution, certain foods, medicines, dental amalgams, improperly coated food containers, or ingestion of lead-based paints. Common heavy metal levels include mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium. We have two tests for toxicity.
The Express Toxicity Testing lets us know your toxic potential in minutes. It consists of three parts:
Neuro-Toxic Questionnaire: notes the initial areas where you are most struggling, i.e., from heavy metal toxicity, bio-toxin-related illness, and/or general toxicity issues.
Meta-Oxy Test: This is a urine test, and it measures inflammation of the cell membrane.
VCS - Visual Contrast Sensitivity Test: measures inflammation on the optic nerve.
The Toxic Metal Urine Test will tell us your toxic load, which accumulates toxins in the body over time.

MRT (Mediator Release Test) will test 150 different foods to see what may not be working with your body. The test:
Quantifies the inflammatory response to food & food-chemicals
Accounts for clinical and subclinical inflammation
Accounts for the widest range of inflammatory pathways
Capable of measuring both innate and adaptive pathways
