Traditional blood chemistry is used in the medical field to determine disease states. Depending on the various values of particular blood tests diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol, hepatitus or hypothyroid can be diagnosed and treated.

By using optimal values rather than traditional medical values; a picture can be drawn which shows the disease trends possible for the patient. Some medical doctors will tell a patient they are "pre-diabetic". This means the blood value to determine diabetes is close but not over the line yet.

Blood chemistry can reveal the direction your health is moving in.

One value alone is not as useful as a group of values and the relationships they have with each other.

Dr. Ron and Dr. Annette Cargioli can analyze your blood work and recommend an effective nutritional program to assist you in moving your blood chemistry profile into optimum health

How do I have this done?

• Call or stop by our office. A lab order for a complete blood profile, including lipid panel, thyroid panel and 23 blood components will be filled out for you.
• You will then choose a convenient time to go to the lab and have your blood drawn. There are several labs around Indianapolis and surrounding communities to choose from. The cost is $150.
• The lab will fax your results to our office. Our office staff will call you to set up an appointment to review the results and recommendations. The cost for this consult is $45.00 to 90.00 (depending on the length of the visit).

How long will it take? Moving blood chemistry values into optimum using nutrition can take three to six months. We recommend re-testing at three month intervals to insure your nutritional program is on target.
