| | A Cellular Analysis to establish Nutritional
| Requirements for Trace Minerals and other Nutrients
|
| From routine annual physicals to emergency hospitalization, blood tests are viewed as important
| tools to help arrive at a medical diagnosis, and later to monitor the progress of various treatments
| prescribed. Medical science is well aware of the many limitations, i.e. close mineral tolerances in
| serum test samples that are frequently maintained while patients are seemingly healthy, when they
| go through a medical crises, or when they are terminally ill. Unfortunately, this delays or prevents a
more accurate diagnosis, or it requires other, perhaps more expensive diagnostic tools - to the
| detriment of the patient and the efficiency and cost of the Health Care System.
|
| |
| | As changes in lifestyle, diet, stress, genetics, injuries or aging start to affect a person's
| well-being, intracellular chemistry reflects many of these changes through variations in
| nutritional levels, abnormal mineral ratios, or general biochemical imbalances.
| Blood chemistry on the other hand - with some exceptions - remains largely unchanged
| and unaffected, and would give a patient a clean bill of health. Conventional medicine
| would now offer the patient a vast array of pharmaceutical solutions, aimed at alleviating
| the medical "symptoms", and any side effects that should arise from the treatments.
|
| |
| |  |
| | A more sensible approach for a patient would be to consult a nutrition-oriented practitioner that has
| the resources to pinpoint the actual intracellular problem areas instead, and to resolve any chemical
| excesses, deficiencies, or imbalances nutritionally. If indicated, chiropractic / spinal manipulation,
| or (electro-) acupuncture could be another consideration. While gene therapy had promised to be a
radically different approach in the treatment of genetically-driven diseases, the technology has thus
| far been a major disappointment, so its implementation is yet futuristic for most medical conditions.
|
| Although intracellular measurements have a much larger test range compared to serum panels, the
| actual reference or "healthy" range is much narrower with Acu-Cell Analysis, even in comparison
to Red Blood Cell or White Blood Cell analysis since it establishes the most person-specific values
by using the patient's own genetic reference. As a result, Acu-Cell Technology represents one of the
most cost-efficient and accurate tools to:
|
| |
| | • Establish optimal nutritional requirements within the tested criteria,
| • Measure the cellular effects of various diets, supplements, or drugs,
| • Assess the impact of disease processes on biochemical levels (and vice versa),
| • Monitor an individual's nutritional status for maintenance.
|
| | |
| |  |
| | The measuring technique is based on testing the evoked nerve point potential of all cell receptors
| that correspond to essential trace minerals. The calculated average is used to establish a reference
| range and mineral ratio profile. Measurements can be taken along the spine (done in veterinarian
| medicine), or at the extremities in human patients. The measuring current is limited to a few micro
amps, which is totally painless and harmless, even when testing infants or patients with pacemakers.
|
| Each electric nerve potential tested varies with the intracellular level of the nutrient it corresponds to
and changes as the matching chemical is increased or decreased through supplementation, drugs,
| diet, and various disease processes. Under certain circumstances - particularly when excessively
low - serum and cellular levels of trace minerals are quite close, however by nature they represent
| different physiological and pathological processes, so they need to be interpreted differently.
|
| |
| |  | |
| | When compared to serum levels, hair, saliva or urine analysis, Acu-Cell Analysis will always reflect
| a patient's mineral status more accurately, since its values are genetically referenced to that patient.
| In contrast, blood tests are generally matched to 95% of the population average, although many lab
tests never reach that figure. Thyroid panels are one example of being well below that percentage,
| with actual patient symptoms being nowhere near 95% of matching serum values.
|
| Calcium requirements are another of many other examples that cannot be established through
conventional or routine blood tests, so recommendations are also based on population averages
instead of individual requirements. This of course can have disastrous consequences for patients
| who either suffer from any number of disorders that prevent normal calcium absorption, or for those
| who suffer from calcium overload. Acu-Cell Analysis on the other hand wouldn't be suitable for anti-
| body screening, nor is it as accurate for blood sugar tests and other blood-specific measurements.
|
| |
| | Acu-Cell Analysis measures 24 essential trace minerals, including Vitamin B12,
stomach acid levels, thyroid and adrenal status, total lipids and HDL, LDL & VLDL
fractions, anti-oxidant factors (rutin and hesperidin), and other values. The analysis
| takes about 30 minutes, and results are given to the patient at that time. ¤
