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.
