The Health & Science Research Institute distributes Diagnostic Tests that are assayed by Genova Diagnostic Laboratories. These tests are an accurate method of assessing hormone imbalances, bone loss, harmful levels of toxic elements and deficient levels of nutrient elements. These evaluations are a useful method for selecting treatment protocols for a wide variety of health concerns. The following is a summary of the test kits currently available:
Research has shown that imbalances of Estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone can contribute to osteoporosis, breast cancer, infertility, and cardiovascular problems. In response to aging, stress, and other environmental antagonists, hormone production and utilization can be significantly impaired. Low hormone levels have also been shown to be the underlying cause of PMS, the unpleasant symptoms often associated with menopause, sleep disorders, blood sugar irregularities, anxiety, depression, loss of libido and impaired thyroid function. Maintaining an optimal balance of steroidal hormones is essential to the quality of your life.

Testosterone supports new bone growth, muscle repair, and healthy cardiovascular function. DHEA, the most abundant hormone in your body, is the source for testosterone production. DHEA boosts the immune system, decreases blood pressure, helps to regulate sleep and supports your body’s ability to successfully manage stress. DHEA and Testosterone are essential to your health and well-being.

Cortisol and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) are your body’s main forces for coping with stress. When in proper balance these two hormones ensure a healthy physiological response to stress. Conversely, an imbalance of these important hormones puts your body at a disadvantage for handling the daily stresses of life. Cortisol responds to stress, maintaining and if necessary, increasing energy levels. Cortisol also helps maintain normal blood pressure levels.

Testosterone supports new bone growth, muscle repair, and healthy cardiovascular function. DHEA, the most abundant hormone in your body, is the source for testosterone production. DHEA boosts the immune system, decreases blood pressure, helps to regulate sleep and supports your body’s ability to successfully manage stress. Testosterone plays a vital role for men and women in the production of muscle, the development of new bone, and cardiovascular health. Cortisol responds to stress, maintaining and if necessary, increasing energy levels. Cortisol also helps maintain normal blood pressure levels.

Low Melatonin, in response to aging or stress, is a primary cause of insomnia & feeling cranky. SleepCheck assesses your level of Melatonin. It provides support for other bodily functions including cardiovascular health, female reproductive hormones, and is also a powerful antioxidant against the most damaging free radical, the OH radical. Its primary contribution, however, is to your body’s ability to achieve quality delta rhthym sleep and thereby regulate circadian rhythms.

The best method of early detection is determining, treating, and monitoring your rate of bone loss as soon as possible. OsteoCheck is a bone loss test that analyzes a primary biochemical marker of bone loss in the urine, Deoxypyridinium (D-Pyd). Other bone loss tests measure loss after the damage has already occurred. In fact, osteoporosis can only be diagnosed by X-ray after a minimum of 30% of bone mass loss! Another bone loss test a bone biopsy requires an invasive surgical procedure. Urine analysis, however, provides an early warning of bone loss before damage occurs. (prescription not required).

Toxins are common in the environment. They are found in food, air, and drinking water. Both Toxic and Mineral elements influence human health in a wide variety of ways. Excess levels of toxic elements such as mercury or lead can be the underlying cause of many health problems, including Candida, Chronic Fatigue, and Migraine Headaches. Deficiencies of Nutrient elements can weaken the immune system and contribute to many other diseases including high blood pressure & osteoporosis.

Why Saliva? Isn’t the Standard Blood Test More Accurate for Progesterone? When blood is drawn and progesterone measured, the red blood cells are discarded along with the progesterone. Serum testing of hormones measures the bound or stored fraction of that hormone and is notoriously inaccurate when transdermal hormone creams are used. Saliva testing is the only way to get an accurate reflection of the biologically available hormones in circulation (the “Unbound Fraction”). Progesterone, when absorbed through the skin into the blood stream is picked up by the red blood cells. It is carried in these cells where it is released to target tissues (breast, uterus, brain).

[...] The estrogen connection appears to be quite clear, although there are still some who doubt the role that estrogen plays in the development of fibroid tumors because women with fibroids often have blood levels which reveal normal amounts of estrogen. A more relevant measurement for assessing fibroid tumor development caused by too much estrogen is a saliva test. [...]
