Laboratory
testing: A method of assessing functional health
I recommend laboratory test panels that can be ordered by patients.

Over 3800 citations make
Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine
your evidence-based resource for the biochemical basis of chronic
illness. A must-have desk reference for laboratory testing
associated with nutritional and metabolic medicine. See the videos
below of Dr. J. Alexander Bralley discussing testing of Organic
Acids to give clues about genetic metabolic variations, and of Dr.
Todd LePine discussing "The Gut-Brain Connection: An Inside Look at
Depression."
"Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and
Functional Medicine is giant contribution to the field of 21st
century medicine. It provides a well-researched roadmap to aid
practitioners in evaluating disease along the continuum from
pre-clinical biochemical and metabolic dysfunction to full blown
clinical symptoms and disease. It is an essential reference
for clinicians seeking to practice the medicine of the future today."

New focus: Dysoxygenosis and
the work of Lowell Weiner, DDS, FAGD
Sleep Apnea diagnosis and treatment
New focus for Functional Medicine
practitioners: Dr. Gant interviewed dental surgeon and educator,
Lowell Weiner, DDS. The impact on physical and mental health of
dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system by breathing problems
can be profound.
Specialty
and Practice Philosophy: Biological Dentistry. Helping the body to help
itself using the least invasive technology following medical and
biological dental concepts.
Areas of Focus: Sleep Apnea,
Snoring, diagnosis and treatment of toxic teeth and their
relationship to cavitations
and chronic sinus problems. Non-surgical treatment of TMJ, and
functional dental medicine.
Fields and healthy cell
cytostructural activity: Ning Wang, Ph.D. I have communicated with this researcher whose work seemed
to be hidden by engineering terminology. Dr. Ning Wang works with
micro-anatomy. I think that his discovery adds to evidence for the
value of fields in health as well as the need for body
movement to generate fields in order to activate
physiological processes. [See Dr. Ratey, above for BDNF and
brain health and learning and memory enhancement.] Original

description: Professor Wang
uses advanced research techniques to gain a fundamental
understanding of cell mechanics, including cytoskeletal biomechanics
and control of cell form and function; bio-imaging of cytoskeletal
structures and stress distribution in living cells;
mechanotransduction, nuclear deformation and gene expression; and
mechanical biotechnologies and their applications to cells, tissues,
and organisms.
He
has developed a technology called intracellular stress tomography,
which he uses to address fundamental questions about stress
propogation and distribution in living cells. He has also developed
three-dimensional magnetic twisting cytometry technology and used it
to quantify mechanical anisotropy in living cells. [more]

a person's Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) allows for treatment using
nutritional enhancement and other compensations that help protect from
inefficient metabolism.
Detoxigenomics
Profile test This detects genetic polymorphisms that cause the
production of inefficient enzymes (or totally absent enzymes) for the
detoxification process.
