From years of training, research and testing for accuracy, Elisabeth is skilled in testing on site during your visit for what your body needs and prefers including dosage and duration.
This includes testing your current supplements to ensure you are not intolerant to them, to ensure you need them and in what dosage and for what duration.
Dr. Bastos is currently training in Auricular Medicine as another method of assessing what organs are in need of support and to what degree and to confirm suitable treatments and dosages for each client.
Blood Tests
These are the same tests your medical doctor can send you for and beyond. Our Clinic can ensure nothing has been missed and that all results are functionally optimal which is often different then the “disease” / “to medicate” range used in conventional medicine. This is important for all conditions including infertility, and long standing/chronic concerns, to ensure ALL needed treatments are started as soon as possible.
Stool Tests
Our Clinic offers thorough stool testing beyond what is requested by the conventional medical system. This includes full parasite screening, full bacteria and yeast screening and a check of the balance of your beneficial/good bacteria profile. Very importantly is the ability to test how to kill the overgrown bugs that are in the bowels so there is no guessing and time wasted.
Urine Tests
A quick in-office urine test can be performed if there is concern about a bladder or kidney infection. These visits can be made last minute which is important to make sure infections do not become severe. Standard urine tests can be run also, just as through your medical doctor.
Toxic Metals and Essential Minerals Urine Testing or Hair Testing
Heavy metals can affect the nervous system, kidneys, liver, brain, bones, bladder and all other organs. In children, behavioral and learning difficulties are often created by or at least worsened by excess metal buildup. Even young toddlers are found to have high levels of heavy metals as toxins are passed through food, water, breast milk, air etc. A check of the body’s mineral levels is important also, as minerals can sometimes counter/push out the toxic metals or at least keep them from building up faster in the future. I recommend this test be performed at least once in young children, or as early in life as possible for general wellness as well as to improve a health concern. Future repeat testing needs depends on your lifestyle, risk factors and previous test results.
Assessment of hair analysis is based on the Dr. Cutler criteria for more accuracy.
Salivary Hormone, Blood and Dried Urine Hormone Testing
A variety of methods to assess and track your optimal hormonal state. Treatments include herbals, homeopathics, and acupuncture.
Thorough Organ System Investigation
At your first visit, you can expect detailed questions, a physical exam from a western and eastern medicine approach.
From this, it is determined if there is potential disease in an organ system or just sub optimal function. These clues are important to determine how aggressive treatments for that organ must be, and what follow up tests may be needed.
