The Essence Of Preventive Blood Testing
The big picture on what preventive
blood testing is and how it works.
Let’s talk for a moment about cholesterol. Your doctor tests your blood and tells you that your cholesterol level is extremely high. So he/she gives you recommendations for dietary changes that will help lower your cholesterol to a range considered optimal—usually less than 200. You follow these recommendations, and your next cholesterol blood test confirms that the changes you made succeeded in lowering your cholesterol level.
If these changes, however, did not lower your cholesterol level, your doctor may use the results of a second test to fine-tune dietary suggestions that may work better for your particular biology. In either case, if you succeed in lowering your cholesterol, you may succeed in reducing your risk of disease.
Cholesterol is not really the best example because too many people with high cholesterol never get heart disease, and many with “normal” levels do! Many alternative doctors think the cholesterol craze could be overplayed.
That’s the essence of preventive blood testing.
The first step is a blood test to determine your current level for one or more parameters—such as cholesterol.
The second step is to make dietary or lifestyle changes based on your test results that should raise or lower your blood chemistry levels.
And the third step is to test again, to make certain that the changes you’ve made are working. If they aren’t, the second test provides the information needed to make adjustments that may work better for you.
Most people know about cholesterol testing, but not too many realize there is a vast range of additional blood parameters that can also be of great value to help prevent or to solve a variety of medical problems.
In our extensive clinical work, YFH has found that for most people, between fifty-seven and seventy specific blood tests cover the essential parameters required for prevention, managing or treating disease.
