Modern technology has given us a number of insights into the root causes of chronic illness. Nowhere has this insight been more revolutionary and impactful than in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract is home to an entire ecosystem of microorganisms (known as the microbiome), living in a symbiotic relationship with its host. These microorganisms do far more than just reside within us – they are essential for life and health. They are responsible for many important functions such as vitamin synthesis, hormone production, immune system regulation, and communication with the neurological systems of the body. More than ever before, medical research has established a link between health benefits or disease risks brought about by these microorganisms that inhabit the human body.

NEW technology

Over the past decade, advances in PCR technology (a way of testing DNA) have given us the tools to assess the GI microbiome in a more comprehensive and precise way. As we are more accurately able to assess each individual’s microbiome, we have come to a clearer understanding of the relationship between an unhealthy microbiome (dysbiosis) and the link to many chronic illnesses that exist systemically (outside of the GI tract).

NEW understanding

Diagnostic Solutions uses latest and most
advanced DNA testing to assess:

• Levels of healthy bacteria
• Pathogenic bacteria
• Parasites
• Yeast
• Viruses

And advanced metabolic testing for:

• Inflammation
• Immune function
• Digestion and absorption

NEW hope

Now, as clinicians are accurately able to assess the gastrointestinal microbiome and metabolic imbalances, patients are finding solutions to a myriad of chronic illnesses – ranging from intestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome to autoimmune diseases such arthritis and fibromyalgia.
