DNA Screening – The Future of Individualised Health Care.

What DNA Testing can offer?

DNA Testing Clinic at Solutions to Health offers incredible tests to discern genetic variations which are known for creating significant effect on health and vulnerability to chronic diseases which include Detoxification, Methylation, Oxidation and many.

These tests are also applicable for emphasizing inter-relationship created between nutrition, genes and common lifestyles. DNA Testing Clinic in Sydney provides accuracy with useful genetic results. We are concerned with optimising the energy prosperity and wellbeing by settling on better way of life and diet decisions, and utilizing enhancements custom fitted to counterbalance a specific dietary deficiency or hereditary inadequacy.

The DNA Health approach builds up the ideal sustenance essential for good wellbeing, vitality, life span and hazard moderation. DNA Health tests for 32 qualities SNPs associated with the accompanying natural procedures:

  • Inflammation
  • Methylation
  • Lipid/Cholesterol metabolism
  • Oxidative Stress
  • Insulin Sensitivity
  • Bone Health
  • Food Nutrient Responses

DNA Health Nutritional Supplementation

TThe proposals for huge numbers of the qualities that are taken a gander at include advancement of amounts of specific supplements, nutrients and minerals. For instance, a few people have an expanded necessity for such supplements as folic corrosive, calcium, nutrient D or omega-3 unsaturated fats, which may require supplementation. The test additionally proposes whether an individual will have the option to decrease their cholesterol levels through eating regimen, instead of through medicine and whether they are pretty much helpless to the unsafe impacts of cancer-causing agents ingested in the eating regimen. This gives the potential chance to create or co-build up a scope of enhancements that tends to explicit quality based necessities.

Results

The outcomes give extraordinary data to guide customized dietary proposals for ideal wellbeing and illness aversion. The results of these tests give chances to oversee health by:

  • Optimising vitality, prosperity and wellbeing
  • Making better way of life and dietary decisions
  • Using enhancements custom-made to counterbalance a specific shortage in sustenance or hereditary inclination

DNA health is mainly focused on optimising good health, improved energy levels, and a heightened sense of well-being, by means of promoting a better lifestyle and diet choices.
DNA testing is designed to guide and advise patients on personalised nutritional supplementation if necessary.

DNA Basic Facts

The prototype of all living things is contained in the genes, which always occur as pairs – one from each parent. Genes contain the information (DNA) necessary to build, regulate and maintain all bodily processes, including the chemical compounds which make up proteins.

There are millions of proteins in the body which generate and support the structural basis such as the bones, muscles, organs, and blood – most of which regulate body functions.

Scientists, however, have determined that proteins also form an important part of chromosome structure, through which genetically inherited information (DNA) is passed on. Studies have also shown that there are up to 10 million points of the genetic material of the human being which are of special significance.
Scientifically, these points are known as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) and makeup about 90% of genetic variations. A nucleotide polymorphism is one of the structural components of DNA which is able to take on different forms.

The information in your DNA is stored as a code made up of 4 chemical bases namely adenine (A) guanine (G) cytosine (C) and thymine (T). Two base pairs join to make a unit, A with T, and C with G.
Replication takes place when the cells divide, the process by which DNA copies itself so that new cells contain the same DNA as the old cells.

DNA Methylation

Cells are the basic working units of human beings, also known as DNA, the basis which determines the course of our lives. DNA methylation is an epigenetic tool used by cells to fix genes in the off position. Epigenetics actually controls the genes, and determine which specific genetic cell is used for skin cells, blood cells, hair, and liver cells, etc.

It is also epigenetics, the different combinations of genes which are turned on and off – also known as gene expression, that make us unique, such as hair colour, physique, likes and dislikes.

However, there are also indications that some epigenetic changes may be hereditary. Along with gene expression, science has revealed another component of epigenetics namely gene regulation, which helps to show how lifestyle and environmental factors can alter the behaviour of genes, without actually changing one’s genetic makeup.

Keeping DNA Healthy

Efficient DNA methylation is regulated by enzymes, many of which require compounds obtained from vitamins and minerals to be activated.

Of great importance are the B vitamins which provide the building blocks for growing cells that are constantly being renewed. These vitamins, especially folate (B9) B6, and B12 help to repair your genes so that damage does not build up during your lifespan.

They are also instrumental in helping to make new DNA for the cells that are constantly renewing themselves.
Following a healthy diet, rich in nutrients and high in essential minerals, will help to keep your DNA healthy.

Blood Type Test

Over the thousands of years of human evolution, four types of blood have developed. These apparently parallel the migrations and processes of civilisation in human society.

The original human blood type of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, known as the ‘O’ type can be traced back over 40,000 years.

Five to ten thousand years later, in the Himalayan highlands, the nomadic herders arose, and with them appears the ‘B’ type.

Finally, only 1000 years ago, the ‘AB’ type became evident as a result of the tumultuous racial mixing that occurred with the many invasions of that time.

The next type to appear was the ‘A’ type, which seems to accompany the rise of agricultural societies in the middle east around 20,000 years ago.

Your Blood Type Determines How Your Body Reacts To The Foods You Eat

What makes this all clinically relevant, is the existence of lectins – abundant and diverse proteins found in the majority of foods. Lectins are surface markers that aid inter-cellular adhesion. For instance, they help bacteria adhere to cell surfaces to facilitate infection and they enable our immune systems to identify and destroy those same organisms. And lectins can react with blood type agglutinogens.

Depending on which lectins a food contains, some foods may be harmful to a person’s physiology, others will be neutral, and yet others may actually be beneficial. This is the basis of the Blood Type Diet, developed by Dr. Peter D’Adamo.

Ever wondered what your blood type you are? We can effectively test for it, using only a drop of blood to confirm your blood type. Your blood type determines your susceptibility to illness, which foods you should eat and how you should exercise. It is a factor in your energy levels, the efficiency with which you burn calories and your emotional response to stress.

It is particularly of clinical significance if you experience any immune-related symptoms, such as allergies, poor immunity or even autoimmune disease. By establishing your blood type we are able to formulate an appropriate eating plan to help you achieve your health goals.

Homotoxicology:

Homotoxicology is a scientifically proven and extensively research practice, that studies the influences of toxic substances in the human body, where symptoms and disease are seen as a result of the biological resistance to toxic substances.

According to this therapeutic model, the type and severity of illness are determined by the duration and intensity of an individual’s toxic load in relation to the body’s inherent capacity for detoxification.

Ultra-low concentration remedies often are used as a treatment to balance specific regulatory pathways and systems in the body. We use urinary and salivary PH testing in the clinic to determine the appropriate treatment protocol.

Iridology:

Iridology is the assessment of the body according to the irides (the coloured area of the eye). The iris is one of the most complex structures of human anatomy.

To an iridologist, specific areas of the irides correspond to specific organs, tissues and body areas; and colours and textures suggest biochemical changes. The topography of the iris as it relates to the rest of the body has been mapped by practitioners over the last 400 years.

Iridology does not diagnose or name diseases but can identify areas or organs which may be weaker, be overactive or underactive or have poor waste removal. Iridology does not involve psychic analysis, is not able to determine your lifespan or predict the time of death.

It does not reveal pregnancy or the presence of gall stones, kidney stones or cancer as these do not have any nerve supply feeding information to the brain. It cannot confirm the presence of viruses, bacteria, parasites or other pathogenic influences or identify the gender of a person.

Signs in the iris may show areas within the body that are inflamed, overactive, degenerating or underactive. This will suggest an area of dysfunction that requires support. For example iridology is unable to confirm whether you have kidney stones, however, signs in the iris may suggest that the kidneys are a weaker organ in relation to the rest of the body.

The iris may show signs of inflammation or degeneration of the kidneys. Or the iris may show signs of darkening over the bowel area indicating metabolic wastes are not being removed efficiently compromising the functioning of the kidneys.

Therefore even though the organ manifesting the disease may be the kidneys, the bowel will need to be addressed also to treat the underlying cause and prevent the problem reoccurring.
