Similarly, trace elements, such as chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and selenium, should be included in the human diet. However, when the amount of these metals becomes too low or exceeds their normal levels, heavy metal...

Blood typing refers to a technique that determines the specific type of blood an individual has. It identifies the particular agglutinogens, antigens or proteins that are present on the surface of red blood cells. Agglutinogens come in two types, the type A and type B, which are chemically distinct from one another. Through this technique, the blood types can be grouped into four types, A, B, O, and AB. In addition, blood typing identifies the presence of another protein called the Rh factor on the surface of the red blood cells. Those who...

Most parts of the human body are covered with hair. Each hair strand that grows on different areas in the body has microscopic traits associated particularly to that area. For instance, in forensics, hair samples from the head and pubic regions are commonly used. In other cases, hair can be used to measure the amount of minerals and toxic substances found in the body through hair mineral testing. This is a non-invasive technique that determines the levels of vitamins, minerals, and toxins. During its growth phase, hair absorbs minerals along...

read moreNo More Allergies: ALCAT Food Sensitivity Testing
The ALCAT Food Sensitivity Testing is a diagnostic tool used to determine the specific types of food that trigger various degrees of allergic reactions to certain individuals. The body reacts differently to a variety of foods and chemicals. Each individual does not exhibit the same level of sensitivity or intolerance to similar types of food, which depends highly on the varied eating habits, hormone levels, medical conditions, nutritional status, stress levels, and other factors that influence the immune system. Through the ALCAT Food...
read moreSetting a New Lifestyle—Be Gluten-Free
Gluten is a mucus-like substance that can adhere to the gut, intestines, lymphatics, sinuses, and joints. Consequently, it triggers inflammation, which produces pain, leading to several health problems such as arthritis, asthma, ADD, autoimmune dysfunction, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, and even cancer. Thus, it is important to maintain a gluten-free diet if one suffers from any of these diseases. To set oneself free from gluten, foods with wheat and other carbohydrates should be avoided. However, carbohydrates should not...
