In Chinese medicine there is a theory called “Root vs. Branch” (cause of disease vs. symptoms of disease). If one treats the root they will always affect the leaves and the branch. BIO-MARX™ addresses the soil in which the roots rest. If the soil is good and healthy, the root will draw the right nutrients and be healthy. In the same manner, if our body’s “soil” is healthy, we will be free of disease and better prepared to deal with the effects of trauma and stress. These stress factors may be physical stress, biochemical/ environmental stress, mental/emotional stress, and electro-magnetic stress.

BIO-MARX™ is a collection of over 20 special tests that allow us to look into subtler levels of human biochemistry. Metabolic by-products found in the body fluids detail the systemic metabolic and biochemical functioning. It is a one-of-a-kind evaluation system, comprehensive and affordable. There is very little or no waiting time for the results of these tests.

Many baby-boomer diseases such as weight loss, osteoporosis, cardiovascular conditions, hypertension, and arthritis can be linked to increases in these metabolic by-products and exotoxins. Many of these by-products, if not addressed, may lead to an array chronic illness.

By monitoring these exotoxins, one can target acupuncture, meditation, exercise, diet, lifestyle changes and nutritional supplementation properly to improve cellular metabolism and reduce stress on the body. Optimal functioning of the human body is foundational to one’s health. If these toxins are not addressed, the body will be tilting towards acid pH, low minerals, poor digestion & absorption, and poor assimilation & metabolic functions.

BIO-MARX™ test results allow us to target very specific causes of illness. It is believed that the body will strive to maintain healthy blood levels of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, etc. at ALL costs. This means that the body will seek to balance the blood above just about any other system in the body. This understanding of blood stabilization allows us to understand that the blood is in fact ONE OF THE LAST PLACES THAT DISEASE IMBALANCES WILL SHOW UP! In essence, by the time your blood work shows pathology or disease, it has already elevated to a very serious condition. Medication is often used to bring the numbers into “normal range,” and seldom corrects the root-cause of the pathology. BIO-MARX™ detects the subtler imbalances while they are still a “functional” problem, before it develops into a “clinical disease.”

BIO-MARX™ test results are reviewed with the patient, diet/ nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes are recommended in the initial phase of relieve-correction care. We also begin to look into the plan for your “road to healing” through developing a corrective-care protocol for your specific case. Stabilization of health is the next phase of care, followed by a recommended health maintenance program (usually 3-4 yearly visits).

The BIO-MARX™ Tests

Hormone Saliva Testing - Easy and comprehensive testing: The Post-Menopausal Health Panels,^™ The Adrenal Stress Index,^™ Bone Marker Test (Dpd),^™ The Female Hormone Panel,^™ The Male Hormone Panel,^™ and The Gastrointestinal Health Panels.^™

Adrenal Stress – This test measures the amount of chloride displaced into your urine. Excess chloride in the urine is a reliable measurement of adrenal stress or adrenal fatigue. Many Americans are experiencing this due to excessive lifestyles of poor diet, stress, not enough rest, exposure to environmental toxins, etc.
Common Symptoms: weakness, tired, dizziness/ vertigo, chronic inflammation, low immune function, PMS, insomnia, low libido, low blood pressure, allergies, weak kidney function, menstrual problems, weight control issues.

Thyroid Function – The current medial diagnosis of “hypothyroidism” measures the hormone levels in your blood only at the specific time it was taken. Many people with “normal” levels of thyroid hormones are functionally hypoactive (meaning is has not yet reached a clinical pathology). These two tests are simple and extremely accurate means of measuring your thyroid function. There are many symptoms of a hypoactive thyroid condition, and in my experience at least 70% of all patients tested reduced thyroid activity.
Common Symptoms: fatigue, constipation, hair loss, weight gain, low libido, low motivation, dry skin, hair & nails, depression, headaches, allergies.

Vitamin C - vitamin C is crucial to the health of the immune system, vascular and connective tissue, and is a powerful anti-oxidant. Recent research has also placed vitamin C in the category of an anti-cancer nutrient. This test accurately determines your vitamin C status.
Common Symptoms: low immune function, poor skin healing, congestion, bruising & varicose veins, asthma, allergies, frequent colds, chronic sinusitis, arthritis, and depression.

Calcium - Calcium is an essential mineral for many cellular functions, as well as for healthy bone development. This urine test accurately determines whether your calcium level is adequate, low, or even too high, or sufficient.
Common symptoms: osteoporosis, osteopenia, hypertension, dental bone loss, cavities, insomnia, muscle pain, arthritis, muscle weakness, and brittle nails.

Oxidation - This test is 50 times more accurate than blood serum free radical tests. Free radical damage can lead to cell degeneration and damage to healthy cells initiating a host of diseases.
Common symptoms: fatigue, allergies, arthritis, elevated cholesterol, and degenerative heart disease.

Malabsorption - This urine test screens for the presence of harmful anaerobic bacteria and bowel dysbiosis. Dysbiosis is a toxic condition caused by a decline in the population of beneficial digestive bacteria in the intestines. This can lead to malabsorption, digestive disturbances, allergies and inflammatory symptoms. Often parasitic activity from traveling abroad can cause chronic dysbiosis. This condition can be determined with this testing.
Common symptoms: inflammatory bowel disease, IBS, celiac disease, gastric ulcer, diminished peristalsis, scleroderma, bloating, gas, etc.

ChemStrip™ - This test measures 13 separate urine categories. It screens for serious health problems including infections, tissue degeneration, liver disease, kidney disease, and diabetes.
Common symptom: infections & organ specific illness.

Saliva pH - This test helps detect deep levels of physical and mental stress and mineral deficiency. When highly stressed, the body becomes acidic, which in turn displaces valuable alkaline minerals.
Common symptoms: anxiety, fear, irritability, emotional stress, mental stress, chronic fatigue (CFS), fibromyalgia, anemia, weak immune function, insomnia, loss of appetite, muscle tension, and a general inability to adapt to stress.

Zinc - The most deficient mineral in the American diet is without a doubt, zinc. Zinc is an essential co-factor of the immune system and sexual system. Over 90% of clients show signs of zinc insufficiency. This simple test will instantly determine your Zinc status.
Common symptoms: low libido, low sperm count, easy tooth decay, low adrenal function, poor fetal growth, weak immune system, poor hair growth, poor wound healing, and easily broken nails.

Ammonia - Ammonia is a by-product of healthy metabolism of proteins. It is used to defend against microbe proliferation and buffers against low pH. It is also protects kidneys from acid damage. If levels become too high, damage occurs because of its extreme toxicity to the body.
Common Symptoms: weak kidneys, fear/ anxiety, nervous system irritation (structural & mental/ emotional).

Nitrates - Nitric oxide is a cell-signaling molecule that is used for intensely brief periods to mediate chemical reactions. It is a very toxic, and potent free radical. Excess nitrates in the body result in poor liver function. This test shows what the nitrate levels are in the body.
Common Symptoms: chronic inflammation, infection, allergies, high cholesterol, hypertension/ hypotension, fatigue, weak immune system, respiratory dysfunction, arthritis, obesity nervousness, learning problems, and poor kidney function.

Cell Debris - ell debris indicates dead cell material leaving the body, toxicity, and energy loss. Inflammation, allergies and infections are stimulated by excess cell debris. It is important that this debris finds it way out of the body; otherwise it may create other health problems

Sugars - This test measures “total sugars,” not just glucose. It indicates the energy state through the use of oxygen. This tests for high or low total sugars while other tests measure high glucose only, high total sugars only or high or low blood glucose. This test helps determine two metabolic types, Glucogenic & Ketogenic types. Sugar metabolism reacts to poor diet, worry or anxiety, medications, infections, alcohol, pancreatic dysfunction, adrenal stress, fatigue states, and electro-magnetic stress.
Common symptoms: fatigue, anxiety, nervousness, dizziness, cravings, emotional instability, moodiness, irritability, weight gain.

Electrolytes - Electrolytes conduct electricity in the body. Having too many electrolytes essentially “fries” your system while too few causes low energy or weakness. Maintaining balanced electrolytes in your body is critical to good health.
Common symptoms: Anemia, chronic fatigue, edema, immune disorders, seizures, liver stress, hypotension, cysts, hypertension, nerve disorders, allergies, constipation, diverticulitis, asthma, colitis, skin disorders, arthritis, deafness, bladder disorders, and more.

Cholesterol Profile - Natural, un-rancid cholesterol is an antioxidant. Rancid cholesterol, however, can cause disease. The goal is for us to see how rancid the cholesterol is. It is much more specific in term of potential risk than just knowing blood levels of fats. Comparing the Cholesterol Profile results with the Oxidation Test results are critical for understanding your true potential for coronary risk. This test provides measurements of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, and cholesterol ratios.

Bone Collage Loss/Bone Marker Test - This easy test takes about 5 minutes to perform. It provides critical information regarding the speed at which bone loss is occurring in the body. It DOES NOT measure bone density, but the current rate of bone deteriorating. If we find that you are losing more bone collagen than you are manufacturing, there could be a much greater risk for osteopenia and osteoporosis. This test can also show how well your current calcium supplements are really working.
Common Symptoms: Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, Bone loss, easy bone beaks & fractures, tooth decay.
