Biophysical CA/CV

Do you wonder how healthy you really are? Is your doctor testing for the right things and will he catch diseases or cancers in time for you to take action and prevent serious health problems? Many people wonder about this, especially when they see “healthy” friends and family suddenly succumb to heart disease or cancer. There are biomarkers in our bodies that can provide snapshots of our unique physical profiles and offer early information that we can use for early treatment and intervention of many deadly diseases.

Recent research on biomarkers and their usefulness in cancer, specifically nonsmall-cell lung cancer, has found that pairing treatments specific to individual biomarkers produced the most positive results in patient outcomes. The purpose of the study, called BATTLE for Biomarker-integrated Approaches of Targeted Therapy for Lung Cancer Elimination: Personalizing Therapy for Lung Cancer, was to biopsy patients in real-time to determine their individual biomarkers. Biomarkers are biological molecules found in blood or other body tissues or fluids that are a sign of a normal or abnormal process, condition or disease. Ultimately, this research shows a new way to approach cancer treatment and that pairing patients with therapies offering them the best chances may be workable.

Although these treatment options are far down the road and not available yet, the value of biomarkers in identifying specific diseases has already been shown. New tests are available that are the most comprehensive and advanced blood tests today. The Biophysical CA/CV panel is a tool for people who want to monitor their health for cancer and cardiovascular disease. The test offers the most comprehensive surveillance available for these two types of diseases. As part of an annual program, the Biophysical CA/CV gives you and your physician a powerful tool to manage your overall wellness strategy and can provide early detection of cancer and potential heart attacks. Beginning with a baseline test will allow you to watch for changes in the results that could indicate a problem.

Only 2 tablespoons of blood is required to conduct the test which if conducted separately could cost $40,000 and require several vials of blood to be taken. There are additional tests available including the Biophysical 250, a total comprehensive full body systems test and the Biophysical Sex/Energy that tests hormones, liver and thyroid function, anemia, diabetes and blood chemistry to look for low energy.

The use of biomarker tests can identify life threatening conditions before any symptoms present themselves. You and your physician can use this information to take steps to preserve your health and maintain it for a healthier old age.
