Lipid Panel by LabCorp - Free Shipping   Holistic Doctor Recommended Test Includes Cholesterol, total; high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); triglycerides; very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation) Special Instructions State patient's age and sex on the request form.   Patient Preparation Patient should be on a stable diet, ideally for two to three weeks prior to collection of blood, and should fast for 12 to 14 hours before collection of the specimen. Causes for Rejection Hemolysis   Use Evaluate hyperlipidemia as an index to coronary artery disease Limitations Patients with obstructive liver disease may develop lipoprotein abnormalities. Serum lipid factors have not been demonstrated to have a strong influence on recurrent stenosis following coronary angioplasty, the pathogenesis of which is presently not well understood. LDL cholesterol cannot be calculated if triglyceride is >400 mg/dL. Additional Information Investigation of serum lipids is indicated in those with coronary and other arterial disease, especially when it is premature, and in those with family history of atherosclerosis or of hyperlipidemia. In this sense, the expression “premature” is mostly used to include those younger than 40 years of age. Patients with xanthomas should be worked up with lipid panels but not those with xanthelasmas or xanthofibromas in the sense of dermatofibromas. Those whose fasting serum is lipemic should have a lipid panel, but the serum of a subject with high cholesterol (but normal triglyceride) is not milky in appearance. The patient with high cholesterol (>240 mg/dL) should have a lipid panel. Patients with cholesterol levels between 200−240 mg/dL plus two other coronary heart disease risk factors should also have a lipid panel.1 In addition to application in screening programs for evaluation of risk factors for coronary arterial disease, lipid profiling may lead to detection of some cases of hypothyroidism. Primary hyperlipoproteinemia includes hypercholesterolemia, a direct risk factor for coronary heart disease. Secondary hyperlipoproteinemia includes increases of lipoproteins secondary to hypothyroidism, nephrosis, renal failure, obesity, diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, primary biliary cirrhosis, and other types of cholestasis. Decreased lipids are found with some cases of malabsorption, malnutrition, and advanced liver disease. In abetalipoproteinemia, cholesterol is <70 mg/dL.   No consultation is included with this test, results will be sent to you. To have your results evaluated and receive diet and supplement recommendations, please contact us to schedule a consult with our Naturopath/Nutritionist!   Required Statement:  Test kits and consultations are for educational purposes and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.   Test kits are not included in our bulk savings program.

Before proceeding protect the client’s eyes with cotton pads dampened in warm water. Apply a thin layer with a brush, spatula or fingertips over the entire face starting with the neck line, then jaws, cheeks, chin, nose and forehead.

A very small amount of Gentle Cleansing Gel or Mint Soufflé mixed with water could be used to make mask removal faster and easier. Tone and refresh with appropriate toner (Aloe Cucumber or Ginseng Toners) and follow with a moisturizer or specialty product. Remove cotton pads from the client’s eyes. For combination skin types, two masks can be used at the same time. Mild masks formulated for oily skin (Volcanic Mud Mask, Mint Mask) can be used on oily areas, and masks formulated for dry skin (Skin Recovery Mask, Collagen Cream Mask, Placenta Nourishing Mask) on the dry areas.   Key ingredient functions and product benefits:   Pure volcanic mud is stimulating and detoxifying.

Arginine is a precursor to polyamines-the cell’s building blocks, which are important for wound repair. Arginine is the only substrate for nitric oxide synthesis. Nitric oxide has a beneficial effect on circulatory status and increases blood supply to the wound. Arginine contains immune-enhancing properties that reduce the risk of infectious complications of a wound. “Nitric oxide (NO) is critical in defending against infection and is a potent antimicrobial. Work in humans shows that topically delivered NO (Arginine is substrate for NO and bypasses arginase when delivered through the skin vs. oral delivery) is clinically useful and no more toxic than currently available antimicrobials.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3442839/   Blood Flow:   Arginine is crucial in the formation of endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) that is required to maintain the plasticity of the endothelium (inner lining of blood vessels), repair the endothelium, and prevent the formation of fatty and atherosclerotic plaques. Nitric oxide is the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, causing the smooth muscle in the vessel wall to relax and the blood vessels to dilate. Adequate nitric oxide also helps to insure proper blood flow without increases in blood pressure. Nitric oxide increases blood flow to muscles to increase strength, endurance and overall muscle health. Arginine is an amino acid that is a growth hormone releaser. The decrease of growth hormone in the human body with aging is a major reason why muscle mass tends to decrease with age and body fat tends to increase with age. Neural Health:   Nitric oxide now also appears to be the neurotransmitter responsible for converting short-term memories to long-term memories in the brain. This is another ability that often declines with aging.

Mediclear Plus by Thorne Research - Free Shipping   Holistic Doctor Recommended   Per the manufacturer, Thorne Research products are not available for sale online to the public.  Please call us for more information. Product Information Mediclear Plus by Thorne Research contains all the nutritional components of MediClear with the added advantages of curcumin phytosome, grape seed phytosome, and green tea phytosome – all well-absorbed forms of these plant extracts for maintenance of the body's normal inflammatory response. Our external environment has become increasingly more polluted in the last 50 years, causing a greater cumulative toxic burden in humans than ever before. Unavoidable exposure to thousands of toxic chemicals in the environment has delivered up the daunting task of detoxifying and eliminating these substances from our bodies. Added to this are the many internally produced substances (hormones, biochemical metabolites) the body must detoxify on a daily basis. The result is a serious challenge to our organs of elimination, particularly the liver. In addition to this ever-increasing toxic load, the over-consumption of fats and sugars – and our reliance on nutrient-depleted vegetables, grains, fruits, and antibiotic- and hormone-laden meats – adds to the toxic load while providing inadequate nutrients for many metabolic processes, especially detoxification. The liver carries the greatest share of the detoxification burden, as it is the liver's job to change potentially harmful substances into non-toxic, water-soluble compounds that can be eliminated by the kidneys or intestines. The liver and other tissues participating in the detoxification process must have available the proper nutrient cofactors to efficiently accomplish this task.* In addition, specific botanicals are useful in assisting detoxification by the liver.* What is Phase I/Phase II Liver Detoxification? In phase I of liver detoxification, fat-soluble substances are converted to intermediate metabolites mainly by a group of enzymes called cytochrome p450 enzymes. The intermediate molecules are often more reactive and potentially more toxic than the original substance. Phase II detoxification involves the attachment of other molecules onto these intermediate metabolites to make them non-toxic and water-soluble and allow their elimination via the urine or intestines. MediClear Plus by Thorne Research Provides Liver Support* Providing essential nutrient cofactors, while supplying an adequate amount of low-allergenicity protein, can be very beneficial to liver function.* Health-care practitioners know that many challenges to health can arise when a patient's liver is not functioning as it should, including poor digestion, imbalances in intestinal bacteria, and fatigue. MediClear Plus includes beneficial detoxification nutrient cofactors,* as well as an array of extra nutrients and botanicals in powder form that can be added to water, or fruit or vegetable juice, resulting in a pleasant-tasting beverage. Why Rice and Pea Protein? Rice and pea protein are used in MediClear Plus by Thorne Research because of their low incidence of allergenicity. It is far more likely for dairy or soy protein to initiate an allergic reaction. Using rice and pea proteins allows you to eliminate most allergenic proteins from the diet, yet maintain high-quality protein intake Detoxification Cofactors MediClear Plus by Thorne Research contains vitamins and minerals necessary for detoxification and liver support.* These nutrients are provided in the most absorbable, best utilized forms, such as calcium and magnesium citrate-malate, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (active vitamin B6), folinic acid and L-5-MTHF (active forms of folate), methyl- and adenosylcobalamin (active forms of B12), and UltraChrome (Thorne's patented chromium).*   Ingredients Two Scoops (46 g) Contain: Calories 180 Calories from Fat 35 Total Fat 3.5 g.
