Holistic Medical Tests
Laboratory Tests
The following lab evaluations are not yet routinely used in
standard (conventional) medicine. Therefore, they
will probably not be
ordered by your conventional physician. (It is
against the law for physicians to order any test that is not a
"standard" conventional test). If your
local physician will not order these tests, you may still order
them directly from The Wellness Club.
We do not bill or participate in insurance or Medicare. If you plan
to submit to your insurance or Medicare, please have your local
physician submit a completed claim form including UPIN number, name,
address, phone number, prescription and diagnosis code.
All lab fees must be paid in advance. A specimen
collection kit, instructions and mailer will be sent to you for each
test at the time of your order. A copy of test results will be mailed
to you. Wellness Club Members enjoy a 10%
discount on all products and medical tests.

NOTE: Interpretation of laboratory data is best done in conjunction
with a physician. We therefore recommend that you
Consult with Dr.
Myatt
or your
local physician for evaluation of lab results. Keep
in mind that conventionally-trained physicians may not be familiar
with the use and interpretation of these tests.

Liver Detoxification Profile
This test uses urine and saliva samples following a challenge of
caffeine, aspirin and acetaminophen
to evaluate Phase I (P450) and Phase II (sulfation, GSH conjugation,
glucuronidation, glycation)
detoxification pathways in the liver.
Phase I and Phase II liver enzymes are the body's primary
detoxification mechanisms. Impaired
liver detoxification is associated with drug toxicities, cancer, sex
hormone balance, autoimmune
disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, etc.), neurological disorders
(Alzheimer's, Parkinson's),
and general immune impairment.

Comprehensive Gastro-Intestinal
(GI) Health
Profile
with Parasitology
This test uses 3 stool and 2 saliva specimens to evaluate for: yeast/fungus,
parasites (C. difficile toxins, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Ameba
histolytica, Tapeworm, Roundworm, Toxoplasma,
Trichinella), pathogenic bacteria, H.
Pylori, Clostridium dificile antigen, digestive function (chymotrypsin),
occult blood (hidden GI bleeding), anti-Chymotrypsin
(intestine inflammation marker) and lysozyme
(colon inflammation marker).
This profile provides a complete assessment of
gut function and often identifies problems overlooked by conventional
intestinal tests such as barium studies and endoscopy. A useful tool
in any chronic GI complaint (IBS, GERD) and in systemic disease (cancer, autoimmune,
chronic respiratory infections, etc.).

HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS
Hair mineral analysis is an accurate, inexpensive test
for heavy and toxic
metals in the system. It is less reliable for
nutritional minerals and the results must be evaluated in context.
Test requires 1 Tablespoon of hair, preferably from nape of neck. A
measuring device and instructions are included with the collection kit.

Heavy Metal / Urine Chelation Test.
The most accurate test for heavy metals in the body.
Heavy metals --- including mercury, lead, cadmium, iron
and arsenic --- can be an overlooked cause of high blood pressure,
neurological diseases and symptoms, chronic fatigue and other
complaints for which there is no clear diagnosis.
Blood tests for heavy metals are virtually useless because the body
clears toxic metals from the bloodstream very rapidly and stores them
in tissues such as bone and metabolically active tissues where they
will cause less damage.
Hair mineral analysis for heavy metals is more accurate than blood
testing but is subject to "false negatives." If one or more metals are
found to be high based on a hair mineral analysis, there is definitely
a toxic mineral problem. But if the hair test comes back negative,
that doesn't prove that you're free from heavy metal toxicity. The
metal can be stored in other tissues in the body, not the hair.
The best test for the presence of heavy metals is a chelation test.
This test uses a "chelating agent" (EDTA, DMSA) to pull metals out of
storage sites where they are then eliminated in the urine. Older
versions of the test required in-office IV chelation prior to testing.
Fortunately, there is a newer oral chelation challenge / urine test
that many holistic physicians feel is just as accurate as IV chelation
testing, at a fraction of the cost and inconvenience.
The test entails fasting for several hours, then taking an oral
chelating agent called DMSA (Dimercaptosuccinic Acid), a potent
chelating agent. The urine is then collected for the next 6 hours and
a send a sample of this to the lab in a pre-paid mailer.
NOTE: When ordering this test, please also order one bottle of
DMSA chelating agent needed to conduct the test. The chelating agent
is not included with the test.
Be sure to order DMSA, one bottle.

FEMALE HORMONE PROFILE (POST-MENOPAUSAL)
This panel uses saliva samples to measure estriol,
estrone, estradiol,
progesterone, DHEA, DHEA-S and testosterone
in post-menopausal females.
A female hormone profile is especially valuable in post-menopausal hormone
(or herbal) replacement therapy because it allows the doctor to make a
"custom-tailored" prescription instead of a "generic" one.
Please NOTE: this test is best used by a woman who has NOT yet
been on hormone replacement therapy, not as a follow-up to therapy.
The Comp. Plus Hormone Profile is much more
accurate and provides "preventive" information like the 2/16 ratio for
breast cancer prevention which this saliva test does not. I highly
recommend the Comp Plus Profile over the saliva testing. -- Dr. Myatt FEMALE HORMONE PROFILE POST-MENOPAUSAL

FEMALE HORMONE PROFILE (PRE-MENOPAUSAL)
This panel uses saliva samples to measure free estradiol, progesterone,
DHEA, testosterone,
FHS and LH in pre-menopausal females,
following hormone levels
throughout the monthly cycle. The test requires 11 saliva samples
taken over one
complete female cycle.
Dr. Myatt’s comment: Useful in discovering hormone imbalances related
to infertility, PMS, irregular cycles, polycystic ovary disease,
endometriosis, fibroids and to determine overall sex hormone
levels consistent with peri-menopause.

MALE HORMONE PROFILE
This test uses a saliva sample to measure e DHEA,
DHEA-S, testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), androstenedione, estrone and progesterone
in males.
Dr. Myatt’s comment: Especially valuable for tailoring anti-aging
hormone replacement therapy. Men can suffer bone loss, depression,
loss of libido and other "menopausal" symptoms due to declining sex
hormones.
Please NOTE: this test is best used by men who have NOT been on
hormone replacement or suppression therapy, not as a follow-up
to therapy. The Comp. Plus Hormone Profile is
much more accurate and provides "preventive" information like the
androgen ratios and intermediates for prostate cancer prevention and
treatment which the saliva test does not. I highly recommend the Comp
Plus Profile over the saliva testing. -- Dr. Myatt

BONE HEALTH MARKERS TEST
This urine test measures rate of bone mineral loss
and associated hormones by looking at a breakdown product of bone (DpD).
This test also includes Vitamin D, DHEA and DHEA-S,
estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol (x 2). This is an
excellent test for monitoring osteoporosis treatment and prevention
in both men and women. It gives
faster "feedback" about the efficacy of treatment than waiting a year
to verify treatment by using a bone density scan.

FOOD INTOLERANCE PANEL
Food allergies are a common, undiagnosed cause of many health problems.
This test screens for antibodies against 96 different foods commonly found in a
typical American diet. (95 foods in the vegetarian panel). The test provides the
same clinical results that can be obtained from a local laboratory without the
added expense and inconvenience because you collect the blood specimen yourself
using a simple finger-stick method.
The kit includes all collection materials and the means to ship the specimen to
the lab free of charge. Results are provided within 10-14 days from the time the
test was received at the lab. Each patient report comes complete with a
customized 4-Day Elimination/Rotation Diet Guideline and an easy-to-read food
family booklet.
Due to state regulations, this test is not available to New York and New Jersey
residents.

COMPREHENSIVE PLUS HORMONE PROFILE
The CompPlus is one of the most complete, accurate and advanced
hormone profiles for both men and women. This test is the "Gold Standard" for
balancing male and female sex hormones, adrenal and thyroid hormones. It also
includes the 2/16α EQ (estrogen quotient) ratio, an
important and modifiable predictor of hormone-related cancer risk.
Why is 24-hour urine testing the "Gold Standard" of hormone evaluation? Sex
hormones are released in "pulsed doses" throughout the 24-hour period. Single
blood tests can be high or low depending on where in this cycle they occur. They
are the least accurate of hormone tests. Saliva is the next best, because saliva
represents some degree of "averaging" of the total sex hormones. However,
various physical conditions can alter the concentration of hormones in saliva
and decrease the accuracy of the test.
24-hour urine testing collects the "peaks and valleys" of hormone release and
averages it. This gives an extremely accurate profile of the daily amount of
hormones release. This test also looks at adrenal hormones (which
factor into sex hormone production because the adrenals make sex hormones) and
the estrogen quotient, a potent risk factor (that can be modified) for
hormone-related cancers. Using a 24-hour urine specimen, the CompPlus evaluates the following:
Estrogens - estrone, estradiol,
estriol, 2-hydroxyestrone, 16α-hydroxyestrone,
4-hydroxyestrone, 2-methoxyestrone, 2-methoxyestradiol,
Progesterone - pregnanediol (progesterone metabolite),
Androgens - DHEA,
testosterone,
5α -androstanediol, 5β-androstanediol, androsterone,
eticholanolone, cortisone, cortisol,
Glucocorticoids (adrenal hormones) pregnanetriol, tetrahydrocortisone,
allo-tetrahydrocortisol, tetraqhydrocortisol, 11β-hydroxyandrosterone,
11β-hydroxyetiocholanolone,
Mineralocorticoids (adrenal hormones) aldosterone, allo-tetrahydrocorticosterone,
tetrahydrocorticosterone, 11-dehydrotetrahydrocorticosterone,
Thyroid hormones - free T3, free T4
EQ- 2/16α estrogen quotient
