Thermography is the measurement of temperature variations at the body surface. As with the oral thermometer that has been used for many years, changes in temperature indicate disease processes. Finely tuned technology can find abnormalities in human wellness long before the body’s sensory organs can identify them. This is true for breast cancer; thyroid [...]
Saliva hormone testing is most useful for uncovering hormone imbalance. For example: discovering a woman has insufficient progesterone to balance high estradiol levels or; that high cortisol levels are interfering with the action of progesterone and testosterone. Once a hormone imbalance has been uncovered, nutritional or bio-identical hormone therapy can be instituted. Saliva testing [...]
URINE TOXIC METALS Urine toxic and essential elements analysis is an invaluable tool for the assessment of retention of toxic metals in the body and the status of essential nutrient elements. Toxic metals do not have any useful physiological function, adversely affect virtually every organ system and disrupt the homeostasis of nutrient elements. [...]
ACBM believes that assessing a patient’s Heart Rate Variability to stress is a key factor in promoting optimal health, and the HRV test can detect early signs of the development of the pathological processes or the presence of some functional disorders, which may not be revealed by an ordinary physical examination. Heart Rate Variability [...]
Electrodermal Sensitivity Testing to body is an electrical system with all 50 trillion plus cells governed largely by electrical differences occurring between individual cells and our external environment. Modern Biophysics has shown that cells resonate at certain frequencies and have radio-like transmitting and receiving properties that allow cells to inter-communicate and control biological and chemical [...]
Hormone analysis allows us to see the powerful chemical messengers in our body that alter the way that distant cells and tissues work. They are essential for bodily functions, metabolic activity and brain function. Small amounts of hormone are secreted by glands into the bloodstream to deliver profound effects on metabolism in other areas [...]
Allergy IgG – IgE Two of the antibodies involved in allergic reactions are immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgE production occurs right after ingestion or inhalation of an allergen and is referred to as a Type I immediate hypersensitivity reaction. IgG antibodies are produced for several hours or days after exposure [...]
The doctors at ACBM consider Bio Impedance Analysis or BIA to be a invaluable tool in the assessment of total health as the test provides a true baseline of where your body’s physiology currently resides. This space-age science is also used by NASA to monitor the body composition of astronauts in flight. BIA takes an [...]
To evaluate most musculoskeletal injuries, a diagnostic ultrasound evaluation is the best option. It is superior to most other methods of evaluation for several reasons. X-rays can be beneficial for identifying bone abnormalities such as fractures, spurs & bone changes associated with osteoarthritis, but do not show soft tissue injuries. MRIs can show soft [...]
Environment Toxins Toxicity inside the body is another major source of stress on the immune system and contributes to chronic disease states. We live in a world where we are exposed to environment toxic elements on a daily basis. It is important to decrease your toxic exposure and optimize your body’s ability to [...]
