Join us on Sunday, April 25th for a day of Alternative Health Testing.

Can you relate?

Every year you go to your doctor and get an annual physical. He tells you that everything is OK and that your numbers look good. But sometimes you still struggle with headaches in the afternoons or you get really sleepy. You reach for an advil every now and then. And then there are those pesky sugar or salty cravings that come up and you find yourself reaching for the hershey kiss in that dreaded (and deeply loved) candy dish on your co-worker's desk.

Sometimes you may wonder what is really going in your body, underneath the surface. What is causing those headaches or random bodyaches. What makes you so tired at 3:00 PM? And how come if your doctor says you are healthy, that you don't always feel that way?

Perhaps you are someone who has a family history of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Do you ever wish there was a way that you could look at your body and see how it is really doing - to know what you can do to prevent these diseases from happening to you, before it is too late?

Or you could also be one of the thousands of people who are struggling to get healthy, lose weight or reduce your high blood pressure and/or cholesterol, but you are having a heart time figuring out the best path to take without having to resort to lots of prescription medications.

So why should you come to this event?

We created the Alternative Health Testing Event to help you see what is really going in your body and get answers immediately. You'll look into a microscope and see little white blood cells swimming around and see exactly how the food you are putting into your mouth is affecting your body. You'll finally get answers to why you are experiencing those nagging body issues, pesky cravings or lack of energy. You'll also discover if you are on the high-risk path towards future health issues.

And here is the MOST IMPORTANT PART: You will learn the steps you need to take immediately to get yourself healthier. We've seen one woman who lost 20 pounds after these tests, another who decided to work four days a week, another who completely eliminated sugar - andthe stories go on and on. If you are looking for answers, inspiration and motivation. Then these tests are for you.

How are these tests different from those conducted by my doctor every year?

These six tests are unlike any tests you'll get at a traditional Western doctor's office. Why? First, they are preventative. They tell you the state of your body now (compounded over the last 3 months), so you can get a clear picture of how what state your body is in now and if you are at risk for future health issues. Also, the tests themselves are different (to see a full description, see below). You also get your results immediately and can walk home with answers and a protocol for getting healthier.

How much does it cost?

Here is the BEST PART:  each of these tests usually costs around $100 each. But we are giving you a huge discount of $30 per test if you sign up ahead of time ($35 a test at the event).

"As I teacher, I abhor tests about as much as, if not more than, my students.  Medical tests, particularly, poke and prod, measuring things I cannot see, and result in explanations of polysyllabic phrases I neither understand nor can apply.  They are often abstract.  My first reaction to Monica's suggestion of "tests" was to cringe.  Now I endorse these tests wholeheartedly and have convinced friends and family to participate.  The change from my initial reluctance was probably most persuasive.  Through these simple, non-invasive, holistic tests I learned.  I saw a sample of my live blood cells through a microscope (projected on a computer screen) and could see and understand why I should eat less sugar and vary my sweet sources. Despite a family history of melanoma, I still ignored the call to wear sunblock daily. When I saw the sun damage for myself, and was told which spot will certainly be removed from my nose within thirty years, I instantly changed behavior and now incorporate facial cream into my daily morning and evening routine.  (I even posted the UV photo on my bathroom mirror as a stark reminder.)  Rather than tell me what was happening, and will happen, with my body, these health professionals SHOWED me, allowing me to discover processes and answers for myself, sharing their practice so that I could develop expertise about my body.  Go take these tests!  No number two pencil necessary"

So what are the tests like?

	In the Live Blood Cell Analysis you'll get a chance to see a drop of your blood underneath a microscope (don't worry it doesn't hurt, simply a small prick).  You'll discover whether you have nutritional deficiencies, any bacteria or parasites, your body's state of hydration and so much more. This is truly an incredible method to see your body at work. In the Hemoglobin A1C Test you'll learn about your blood sugar levels over the last 3 months. You'll find out if you are at risk for diabetes – a must for anyone who feels like their diet is less than optimal.
	In the Photo Plethysmography (PPT) test you'll learn about the state of your heart.  It can show if there is beginning to be build up in your arteries that could hamper the circulatory system.  This test is a must for anyone interested in getting a comprehensive assessment of their cardiovascular system and preventing future heart issues. In the Stress Test you'll learn about the state of your heart.  This test is a must for anyone interested in getting a comprehensive assessment of their cardiovascular system and preventing future heart issues.
	In the Ultraviolet Photography Test you'll see just how much damage all those days in the sun have produced.  You'll get a chance to see the level and extent of sun damage and learn ways to begin to reverse it.
	In the Detox Foot Bath you'll rest your feet in a warm foot bath that draws toxins out of your body. You'll feel cleaner, more focused and experience less aches and pains.  As the color of the water changes you'll discover which areas of your body are detoxifying the most.  Here is a sample:

"The results from the tests that I took made me more aware of the changes I would have to make to improve my current health level.  The most important thing that I came away with is I had to increase my intake of greens and decrease my intake of sugars or my long term health would be affected.  The foot bath was also extremely soothing and put me in a nice relaxed state.  These tests are not expensive and can be extremely beneficial in improving short term and long term health."

"I would highly recommend Monica's health testing to anyone who is interested in finding out more about their current health status and how they can maintain a healthy lifestyle. My favorite test was the foot detox bath. You sit with your feet soaking in warm water for 20 minutes and the results are both amazing and informative. The entire experience is a win / win situation."

Live Blood Cell Analysis/Darkfield Microscopy
Blood Analysis, as done by most labs, involves using stains and preparations that can alter the structure of our cells in their live state. Darkfield microscopy allows a clinician to view a living fresh blood sample and enables us to see conditions that are not normally even considered during the diagnosis of a normal blood test in a doctor's office or lab. Darkfield microscopy allows the health professional to evaluate the shapes and other properties of individual blood cells, indicating nutritional conditions which can be adversely affecting a person's health. It allows the detection of imbalances sooner, when the problem is in its stages of infancy. The condition of our blood provides a window into the prevention of many illnesses.

In darkfield microscopy, one is able to observe "live blood." Unlike the techniques of electron microscopy, no fixative is used, so the picture is one of mobility. In darkfield microscopy, we are viewing a dynamic living system. We get to see our cells in action and see what our cells are bathed in. One is able to view the activity of bacteria, fungi, undigested food and chemical crystals that tell us a lot about how well our body is functioning. This technique can help to identify conditions before they become a diagnosable illness.

Stress Testing for Heart Disease and Optimal Health
The cardiovascular system plays a dominant role in the health of any individual. As heart disease has remained the number one killer in the United States for the last 80 years, it is imperative to be well-educated on those factors that influence the health of this system.

Many factors have been shown to be associated with adverse cardio-vascular events. These include: high total serum cholesterol, high serum LDLs, high serum Triglycerides, high serum Homocysteine and high serum Fibrinogen. In addition to these serum markers, other tests have been used to manage cardiovascular risk. They include Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen and Electrocardiography.

The advancement of Photo Plethysmography (PPT) due to technological innovation has made it a sensible and effective measure by which to monitor cardiovascular health. In addition to measuring the volume of blood in a vessel, PPT can obtain a great deal of information about your overall health. Information collected from PPT includes: Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability, Blood Volume, Pulse Pressure Wave, Accelerated Pulse Pressure Wave, Autonomic Balance (ability to cope with stress) and Blood Vessel Tension (the stiffness of the vessel), just to name a few.

This information can be analyzed by the system's onboard computer. Unlike many standardized parts of medical practice that require a near-diseased state to produce a positive result, PPT very effectively shows each patient where their health lies, and what must be done to maintain and improve wellness.
The foundational principle that is used to make the assessment is the Pulse Pressure Wave.

The Pulse Pressure Wave is a combination of two actions. When your heart beats, blood is pumped into the body. This generates the pulse that you feel on a wrist or neck. In response to this pressure, the blood vessels contract, generating a second pulse. The relationship of these two waves can generate a great deal of information about the health of the circulatory system. Stiffness of the vessels, poor stroke volume in the heart, a poor response for the circulatory system to the pulse being generated are all factors that can predict the onset of cardiovascular problems.

If you or a loved one is concerned about the health of your cardiovascular system, this procedure is a must. If you are interested in assessing your wellness or want to find out just what areas of your health need improvement, make the time to try this technology.

Hemoglobin A1C
Hemoglobin A1C is a laboratory test which reflects the average amount of blood sugar in the body over the past 3 months. It can be measured quickly and accurately by a finger prick.

It can be more reliable than simple glucose tests because it shows blood sugar levels over a longer period of time.
Hemoglobin A1C measures the amount of glycosolated red blood cells: those cells that have been carmelized or "stuck with sugar." Because the average red blood cell lives about 3 months, we can determine the relative amount of blood sugar present over the same amount of time.

Ultraviolet Photography
The camera takes 2 types of photographs: one under "full spectrum" light and one under ultraviolet light. The full spectrum photograph is the same as a normal photograph taken in daylight. The ultraviolet (UV) light penetrates into the dermal layer of the skin and is absorbed by melanin. From this, we can see the extent of sun damage on the skin. The more spots there are, then more damage. The less spots there are, the less damage. The deeper and darker the spots are, the greater the severity of sun exposure. The technology was developed in 1995 by Faraghan Medical Camera Systems in Philadelphia, PA.
