Comprehensive Stool Analysis

Beneficial flora help us digest and absorb our food, strengthen our immune system, detoxify noxious compounds, even contribute to the manufacture of essential vitamins. Some beneficial flora metabolize and recycle hormones, including estrogen, thyroid hormones, and phytoestrogens from food sources, which can help offset symptoms of menopause, PMS and perimenopause. In this way, they help maintain proper hormonal balance, and may protect bone and breast health as well.
 
Dysbiotic flora/imbalanced body flora — including bacteria, viruses, yeast/fungi, and protozoans — are implicated in heart disease, allergies and asthma, skin disorders, obesity, IBS, arthritis and digestive problems, urinary tract infections, certain cancers, Alzheimer’s and more.
 
This test can identify which good/friendly bacteria is missing or at low levels and which bad bacteria or yeasts may be abundantly present or missing indicating they may have left the bowel and spread to the pancreas, liver, etc.
 
The comprehensive stool analysis will also provide valuable markers for the following: intestinal health, inflammation, immune system strength, and digestion/absorption.
 
YFH is particularly excited about the list of remedies that is provided for medications versus natural remedies when bad bacteria/yeast is identified. This is based on your stool sample and the remedy is personalized after your sample is cultured and the offending bacteria, yeast, etc. has been tested for sensitivity to the remedy suggested.
 
The test is reasonably priced and includes the doctor order, shipping fees as well as your written report and free group telephone conference call (calls are scheduled once per month) to explain the test. This is a stand alone test and does not have to be ordered with any other.
