Available Testing at COHA
The time you spend reading this could be one of the most important times of your life. Take a few minutes to consider your state of health. We need your input to help you achieve the best health possible and expecially avoid pain, suffering, disability and premature death.
We have done thorough research to provide you with the best and most affordable recommendations for detecting health problems at an early stage and treating difficult medical problems that don't respond well to conventional medicine. We probably will recommend some of these tests for you.
IV Challenge--Heavy Metal Test, Urine Metal Analysis
Screening test for toxic metals in the body.
Bone Density
Ultrasound of the heel to assess risk for fractures.
VCS--Visual Contrast Study
Eye test looking for toxicity.
ASI--Adrenal Stress Index
Adrenal glands help you deal with physical and mental stress. This test tells us if adrenals are overworked or exhausted.
CSA--Comprehensive Stool Analysis
This test cultures the good and bad bacteria and yeast in the bowel, detecting important imbalances.
Elisa 96
Blood test for antibodies to 60-80 foods. This is the most common mechanism to detect sensitivities.
CVI--Carviovascular Index
Test which uses an automated blood pressure cuff to measure blood pressure and record pulse and pulse pressure. With this information, this test can give a measure of the stiffness of the patient's arteries (arterial stiffness index). Increased arterial stiffness may be indicative of vascular disease and corresponds to the risk of sudden heart attack or stroke.
HRV--Heart Rate Variability
Test which is a cutting-edge measurement of cardiovascular health. Measures heart adaptability (variability) which corresponds to overall fitness and stress level. More heart rate variability (HRV) means your heart is better able to adapt to changing circumstances. Less heart rate variability (HRV) means nerves and heart muscle can't respond easily to change, potentially leading to out-of-rhythm beats or an abrupt, fatal stop. About 250,0000 Americans die each year from sudden cardiac arrest. Stress may reduce HRV by affecting nerves that control the heart. What you can do: Soothe and protect your heart with stress reduction and exercise, both of which reduce stress on the heart and improve its adaptability, according to preliminary evidence.
PBA--Peripheral Blood Analysis
This analysis involves a detailed search for abnormal variations in the size, associations, ratios and fine structure of your blood's red cells, white cells and platelets using a specially-equipped microscope. This microscope utilizes a darkfield illumination system that provides a high-resolution examination of the features of your blood without the altering effects of smearing, drying and staining the specimen. This technique enables the evaluation of even subtle details of the blood cell features in their living state and as close to their condition while in your body as is possible. Provides information about digestion, immunity, toxicity, and more.
ICG--Impedance Cardiography
Measures cardiac output and vascular resistance. This shows if the blood pressure is putting a strain on the heart.
Lipid Panel
Cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL.
C-Reactive Protein
Blood test that measures the amount of C-reactive protein which measures general levels of inflammation in your body.
Homocysteine
Measures homocysteine. Too much homocysteine in the blood is related to a higher risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease.
Thermography of Thyroid or Breast
Heat-sensitive pictures that detect inflammation and abnormal circulation patterns. Thermography is a good tool to screen for breast cancer and endocrine disorders such as hypo and hyperthyroidism.
EKG--Electrocardiogram
Measures the electrical activity of the heart--can detect rhythm problems and signs of insufficient blood flow to the heart.
Stress EKG
More accurate test to show insufficient blood flow to the heart. Tells us if it is safe to exercise. Patients with coronary artery blockages may have minimal symptoms and an unremarkable or unchanged EKG while at rest. Alternatively, patients with no heart disease may have fairly convincing symptoms and a suspicious EKG. Both groups may benefit from a cardiac stress test during which exercise is used to stress the heart and expose hidden heart disease or to help rule it out.
