| Blood
and Urine Testing / EKG
Your Natural
Health Doctor can learn a great deal about your health
from a sample of your blood. Laboratory tests help in
several ways. Sometimes, test results will be abnormal
before you have any symptoms. And, for those times when
symptoms have developed, laboratory test results help
confirm that a problem does exist.
But a normal is
just as significant as an abnormal result. A normal
result does not mean that the test was unnecessary. When
a result normal, it not only helps to rule out disease,
but it also establishes a baseline for you. Each person
has his or her own baseline " normal ". A
person's own result is the best baseline for monitoring
any change that takes place in the future.
Urine samples may
aid in the diagnosis of urinary tract diseases and
infection, as well as indicate diabetes, malnutrition
and other conditions.
Electrocardiograms
are performed to immediately ascertain if you are
currently experiencing or have had a heart attack or a
heart condition which affects the electrical potential
of the heart. Arrhythmias ( irregular beat ), high or
low levels of potassium or calcium, mitral valve
prolapse and other heart abnormalities can be initially
uncovered by EKG testing. Further testing may be
recommended. Sometimes, the best reason for performing
an EKG is to find out that there is actually nothing
wrong.
