Test for Rate of Bone Loss
The following simple test can be completed at home and mailed. One of the country's most prestigious laboratories will process the samples, generating a report that can help identify even subclinical (non-symptom-producing) imbalances and dysfunction. Often, Dr. Bivins can correct imbalances with natural hormones, supplements, and guidance for diet and lifestyle modification. Call Dr. Bivins at (619) 223-7379 or complete the questionnaire to get started.
Bone Resorption Assay, 17 Mineral Elements, #102

Resorption Assay, 17 Mineral Elements
This profile is clinically indicated for assessing bone loss, heavy metal toxicity, and overall mineral balance.
Bone Resorption Assay measures accelerated bone resorption (break down) and is a reliable monitor for therapy to prevent bone loss.
17 Mineral Elements measure the heavy metals aluminum, cadmium, lead, mercury, arsenic, and boron. Additionally, it measures the minerals calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, vanadium and zinc. It is also used in the evaluation and treatment of depression, muscle spasms, osteoporosis, acrodermatitis, inflammation, deficiency states, hypoglycemia, anemia, diabetes, arrhythmias, vision loss, hearing disorders, insomnia, irritability, and a variety of other conditions. Given the vital and diverse roles that minerals play in maintaining homeostasis, detecting imbalances can b significant in both risk assessment and the treatment of degenerative disease.
SUMMARY: This profile yields data that will support customized mineral replacement protocols, as well as identify the presence of heavy metals, associated risk factors, and bone loss.
Balancing hormones can help to lower your risk for cancer and osteoporosis; decrease PMS, hot flushes, headaches and vaginal dryness. An imbalance is not a cause but rather an effect of maladaptation to stress--the source of which can be external, mental and emotional, or internal (i.e., food sensitivities, inflammation, parasites or a glandular dysfunction). Start on your journey to optimum health now. Call Dr. Bivins at (619) 223-7379 or complete the questionnaire to get started.
