By the time that heart problems are detected, the underlying cause (atherosclerosis) is usually quite advanced having progressed for decades. There is therefore increased emphasis on preventing atherosclerosis by modifying risk factors, such as healthy eating, exercise, and avoidance of smoking.<\/p>\n

A blood test is a laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a needle, or via finger prick. Blood tests are used to determine physiological and biochemical states, such as disease, mineral content, anaemia indicators for cancer or inflammation, drug effectiveness, and organ function.<\/p>\n

Hormones are chemical messengers that are produced by specialised cells and released to perform specific actions.<\/p>\n
Examples of hormonal regulation are:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, food intake<\/li>\n
- Menstrual cycle of women, sexual development in men and women<\/li>\n
- Bone growth<\/li>\n
- Adaptation to stress and anxiety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
As hormones have many different functions the Dubai Herbal and Treatment Centre provide a variety of hormone tests, depending on patient needs.<\/p>\n

Lp-PLA2 test is a simple blood test that measures the amount of an enzyme in your blood called Lp-PLA2.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle admin_label=\"Lp-PLA2 Toggle\" title=\"Read more…\" open=\"off\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" module_class=\"dhtctoggle\" open_toggle_background_color=\"#e0dad0\" closed_toggle_background_color=\"#c9bfad\" title_line_height=\"1.2em\"]<\/p>\n
When your arteries are inflamed, a fatty deposit called plaque builds up in the walls of the artery. If the amount of Lp-PLA2 in your blood is high, this may indicate that the plaque might rupture through the inside wall of the artery into your bloodstream, where it may cause a clot that could result in a heart attack or stroke. Your body will create a thick fibrous cap to contain the lipid pool and stabilize the plaque. As the lipid pool continues to grow, the fibrous cap thins and eventually ruptures resulting in a clot (thrombus). Individuals who have an elevated Lp-PLA2 Test score and one or more risk factors have more than twice the risk of having a heart attack. If the Lp-PLA2 Test is elevated and they have high blood pressure, their risk for stroke increases more than 6 times. In addition, almost 95% of people with risk factors for heart attack or stroke who had a Lp-PLA2 Test of less than 200 ng\/mL did not have a heart attack or stroke within 4 years.<\/p>\n

Most know that the foods they eat affect their health. On the other side, the things you do not consume \u20ac\" but maybe need \u20ac\" may also have a powerful impact on your body.<\/p>\n
That is why many people take vitamins and supplements \u20ac\" to feel better and prevent disease. While taking vitamins can be extremely beneficial, everyone has specific nutritional needs. It is important to understand which supplements are right for your body and your circumstances so that you don't waste money on items that could be unnecessary or even harmful.<\/p>\n
With the NutrEval test, you can find exact answers to your health questions. NutrEval can help you achieve optimal health beyond just feeling better. This test panel includes several comprehensive tests:<\/p>\n
Amino Acid Test<\/strong><\/p>\n
Amino acids are vital for optimal health. They are the body's basic building blocks and are responsible for the health of bone and muscle. Balance is critical for proper nerve function, detoxification, metabolism, and digestion. When amino acids are too high or low, they can cause fatigue, increased heart disease risk, and promote depression, anxiety and mood swings. Once identified, imbalances can be corrected, helping to prevent many chronic illnesses before they can cause lasting damage.<\/p>\n
Omega 3, 6, and Other Fatty Acids Test<\/strong><\/p>\n
Fatty acids are essential to the construction of cell membranes. Too little or too much fat can cause health problems. Reduced levels of certain fats can result in depression, hyperactivity, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, as well as early senility. In addition, pregnant and lactating mothers should have their fatty acids tested to ensure their children receive the fats needed for proper brain and nerve development. Measurement is the only means to determine your individual needs.<\/p>\n
Mineral and Heavy Metal Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n
Minerals in our body serve two functions: one being that they are the building blocks, second being that they are regulators of our body's processes. Many of these minerals are derived supplements. Some minerals can even be toxic. Magnesium, copper and manganese are beneficial. If proper amounts are not obtained, problems such as joint pain, weight problems, depressed libido, depression, or anxiety can occur. On the other hand, exposure to mercury, lead, arsenic or other heavy metals can be harmful, causing fatigue, emotional disturbances, even kidney failure. Laboratory testing can provide valuable information about your health.<\/p>\n
Antioxidant Test<\/strong><\/p>\n
Antioxidants are protective molecules that reduce free radical damage or oxidative stress. Free radicals are naturally occurring compounds in our body that can cause severe injury to cells. Low levels of antioxidants lessen your protection from these harmful compounds. Antioxidants are essential for the body's ability to protect against free radicals, and for healthy function of the neurological, endocrine, and immune systems. Oxidative stress is linked to premature aging, heart disease, neurological diseases, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Lab tests can assess equilibrium between oxidative stress and antioxidant protection.<\/p>\n
Metabolic Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n
Measuring 39 key organic acids to evaluate gastrointestinal function, cellular energy production, neurotransmitter processing, and functional need for vitamins, minerals, and co-factors.<\/p>\n
Homocysteine<\/strong><\/p>\n
Homocysteine can be used as a biochemical marker for certain nutritional deficiencies (vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin B6). It also serves as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and is implicated in a number of other conditions.<\/p>\n
Vitamin D<\/strong><\/p>\n
(25-OH Vitamin D) 25-hydroxycholecalciferol is the principle circulating derivative of vitamin D and the precursor to the active form 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. As well as playing a vital role in maintaining bone health, Vitamin D is critical for immune function and deficiencies are associated with many serious illnesses.<\/p>\n

Micronutrient testing is a next generation blood test for measuring specific vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other essential micronutrients within an individual's white blood cells (lymphocytes). It is the gold standard for this type of test.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle admin_label=\"Micronutrient Testing Toggle\" title=\"Read more…\" open=\"off\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" module_class=\"dhtctoggle\" open_toggle_background_color=\"#e0dad0\" closed_toggle_background_color=\"#c9bfad\" title_line_height=\"1.2em\"]<\/p>\n
Nutrient status is a vital foundation of health. Each micronutrient plays an indispensable role in promoting optimal cell function. When some cells do not function at their best, the foundation of our health is compromised, setting the stage for the development of disease. Identifying and correcting nutritional deficiencies is an important step in the long-term maintenance of optimal health.<\/p>\n
Vitamin deficiencies aren't just a reflection of diet. Since we are all biochemically unique, nutrient deficiencies will vary from patient to patient, and do not necessarily correlate directly with nutrient intake, even among those with similar health conditions. Many factors beyond diet determine whether nutrient function is adequate. These include biochemical individuality, genetic predisposition, absorption and metabolism, age, disease conditions and medications.<\/p>\n
You can be deficient in micronutrients and not even know it. Studies have shown that 50% of patients taking a multivitamin are functionally deficient in one or more essential nutrients that are vital to long term health. Scientific evidence also confirms such deficiencies are associated with disease processes and the overall condition of your health. Deficiencies suppress the function of the immune system and contribute to degenerative processes. So, anyone who is interested in feeling his or her best can benefit from these tests.<\/p>\n

Our genes are the basis for the development of many diseases. We cannot change our genes, but we can influence whether or not they are activated. Not every risk will turn into a medical condition. Wouldn't it for example be interesting to know, if you carried the risk of suffering a heart attack while at the same time learning how to prevent the disease? Each of us has a very individual susceptibility of how our body responds to the environment.<\/p>\n
As well as our genes, many other factors play a part \u20ac\" including our environment. There are toxic substances to which we are exposed whether we play sports, smoke or have a healthy diet. Another factor is the level of stress we have to endure each day. Future risks are not fixed in stone \u20ac\" we are able to influence these risks, and we should know what they are. We can give you information about how you can live a healthy lifestyle that is optimal for your genetic situation. Each of the genes we analyse can be influenced by appropriate diet and an optimal lifestyle.<\/p>\n
We are pleased to offer you a genetic test that looks at your genetic disposition to many illnesses – including strokes, heart attacks, thrombosis, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, lactose intolerance, osteoporosis, inflammations, cancer and dementia. It contains a written evaluation of your personal predisposition and an individual interpretation of your genes taking account of your medical history and your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Your body will create a thick fibrous cap to contain the lipid pool and stabilize the plaque. As the lipid pool continues to grow, the fibrous cap thins and eventually ruptures resulting in a clot (thrombus). Individuals who have an elevated Lp-PLA2 Test score and one or more risk factors have more than twice the risk of having a heart attack. If the Lp-PLA2 Test is elevated and they have high blood pressure, their risk for stroke increases more than 6 times. In addition, almost 95% of people with risk factors for heart attack or stroke who had a Lp-PLA2 Test of less than 200 ng\/mL \u00a0did not have a heart attack or stroke within 4 years.\r\n\r\nSo get tested now.

On the other side, the things you do not consume \u20ac\u201c but maybe need \u20ac\u201c may also have a powerful impact on your body.\r\n\r\nThat is why many people take vitamins and supplements - to feel better and prevent disease. While taking vitamins can be extremely beneficial, everyone has specific nutritional needs. It is important to understand which supplements are right for your body and your circumstances so that you don't waste money on items that could be unnecessary or even harmful.\r\n\r\nWith the NutrEval test, you can find exact answers to your health questions. NutrEval can help you achieve optimal health beyond just feeling better. This test panel includes several comprehensive tests:\r\n\r\nAmino Acid Test\r\nAmino acids are vital for optimal health. They are the body's basic building blocks and are responsible for the health of bone and muscle. Balance is critical for proper nerve function, detoxification, metabolism, and digestion. When amino acids are too high or low, they can cause fatigue, increased heart disease risk, and promote depression, anxiety and mood swings. Once identified, imbalances can be corrected, helping to prevent many chronic illnesses before they can cause lasting damage.\r\n\r\nOmega 3, 6, and Other Fatty Acids Test\r\nFatty acids are essential to the construction of cell membranes. Too little or too much fat can cause health problems. Reduced levels of certain fats can result in depression, hyperactivity, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, as well as early senility. In addition, pregnant and lactating mothers should have their fatty acids tested to ensure their children receive the fats needed for proper brain and nerve development. Measurement is the only means to determine your individual needs.\r\n\r\nMineral and Heavy Metal Testing\r\nMinerals in our body serve two functions: one being that they are the building blocks, second being that they are regulators of our body's processes. Many of these minerals are derived supplements. Some minerals can even be toxic. Magnesium, copper and manganese are beneficial. If proper amounts are not obtained, problems such as joint pain, weight problems, depressed libido, depression, or anxiety can occur. On the other hand, exposure to mercury, lead, arsenic or other heavy metals can be harmful, causing fatigue, emotional disturbances, even kidney failure. Laboratory testing can provide valuable information about your health.\r\n\r\nAntioxidant Test\r\nAntioxidants are protective molecules that reduce free radical damage or oxidative stress. Free radicals are naturally occurring compounds in our body that can cause severe injury to cells. Low levels of antioxidants lessen your protection from these harmful compounds. Antioxidants are essential for the body's ability to protect against free radicals, and for healthy function of the neurological, endocrine, and immune systems. Oxidative stress is linked to premature aging, heart disease, neurological diseases, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Lab tests can assess equilibrium between oxidative stress and antioxidant protection.\r\n\r\nMetabolic Analysis\r\nMeasuring 39 key organic acids to evaluate gastrointestinal function, cellular energy production, neurotransmitter processing, and functional need for vitamins, minerals, and co-factors.\r\n\r\nHomocysteine\r\nHomocysteine can be used as a biochemical marker for certain nutritional deficiencies (vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin B6). It also serves as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and is implicated in a number of other conditions.\r\n\r\nVitamin D\r\n(25-OH Vitamin D) 25-hydroxycholecalciferol is the principle circulating derivative of vitamin D and the precursor to the active form 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. As well as playing a vital role in maintaining bone health, Vitamin D is critical for immune function and deficiencies are associated with many serious illnesses.\r\n\r\nSo get tested now.

It is the gold standard for this type of test. [slider title=\"Read more \" hint=\"Read more about Micronutrient Testing\"]Nutrient status is a vital foundation of health. Each micronutrient plays an indispensable role in promoting optimal cell function. When some cells do not function at their best, the foundation of our health is compromised, setting the stage for the development of disease. Identifying and correcting nutritional deficiencies is an important step in the long-term maintenance of optimal health.\r\n\r\nVitamin deficiencies aren't just a reflection of diet. Since we are all biochemically unique, nutrient deficiencies will vary from patient to patient, and do not necessarily correlate directly with nutrient intake, even among those with similar health conditions. Many factors beyond diet determine whether nutrient function is adequate. These include biochemical individuality, genetic predisposition, absorption and metabolism, age, disease conditions and medications.\r\n\r\nYou can be deficient in micronutrients and not even know it. Studies have shown that 50% of patients taking a multivitamin are functionally deficient in one or more essential nutrients that are vital to long term health. Scientific evidence also confirms such deficiencies are associated with disease processes and the overall condition of your health. Deficiencies suppress the function of the immune system and contribute to degenerative processes. So, anyone who is interested in feeling his or her best can benefit from these tests.\r\n\r\nIf you would like more information about the tests or are wondering which test would be right one for you, book a consultation with Dr Maria (Preventive Medicine), Asha Jones (Ayurveda), Victoria & Lily (Nutrition) and they are more than happy to assist you\r\n\r\nSo get tested now.
