"Integrated Genomics" At Classic Health Chiropractic
|
Wouldn't you like to know?
Integrative Genomics™ is a revolutionary new DNA screening service
that puts the power of scientific innovation at your fingertips. Unlike
medical diagnostic tests that simply determine whether you have or
do not have a disease, Integrative Genomics identifies truly
individualized ways to help you maintain long-term health and well-
being by looking inside your DNA.
Changing your future by learning from your genetic history.
The genetic material of all living things is made of up of the molecule
Deoxyribonucleic acid-more commonly known as DNA. Amazingly, the
DNA of any two individuals is 99.9% identical. So what makes us
different from each other? The crucial one tenth of one percent
(0.1%) difference between one person's DNA and another's lies in
the small but unique variations called "Single Nucleotide
Polymorphisms," or "SNPs" for short. A small variation in SNPs can
help identify genetic predispositions; an individual can use this
information to maintain heart health and bone strength, for example.
A genome is the total sum of an organism's DNA, genes and
chromosomes. Genomics is the systematic and simultaneous study of
multi-gene systems, such as those found in humans. Integrative
Genomics™ is a practical application of this kind of study-a screening
designed to identify areas of the Human Genome that may not be
functioning efficiently. The screening and analysis provide your
healthcare practitioner with an improved understanding of your
specific body processes and pathways that may not function at their
best.
Integrative Genomics provides a scientifically well-established method
of understanding your unique physiological make-up. Virtually 100%
of health conditions are affected by genetic makeup. Integrative
Genomics enables you and your healthcare practitioner to focus
specifically on the areas that need attention for you to achieve
maximum health and longevity.
Accurate genetic information has never been so easy to
obtain.
The Integrative Genomics™ DNA screening starts with a comfortable,
easy-to-do mouth swab to collect a DNA specimen. Either you or your
healthcare practitioner gently swabs the inside of your cheek, then
allows the swab to dry in the drying rack that is included with the
collection kit. The dried swab is then placed in a special envelope
and sent to our lab for analysis. Your healthcare practitioner will
receive the results of the screening in about six weeks, at which time
he or she will help you create a tailored strategy to suit your
individual needs. You may also elect to have results sent directly to
you.
The Integrative Genomics screening process respects the privacy of
every individual and has taken many precautions to create a process
that allows individuals to maintain the highest level of confidentiality.
All information provided by the individual taking the screening is kept
on a secure server and all samples are identified by barcode only.
This information is never shared with a third party. After the
evaluation is completed and validated, all DNA sample material is
destroyed.
Making Science Work for You.
The lab analysis focuses on the occurrence of relevant SNPs.
Pronounced "snips," SNPs are small but common natural variations in
human DNA. Each person has several million SNPs that account for
the wide variations seen in the spectrum of human appearance and
physiology. Our screening tests for those functional SNPs that serve
as predictable markers for evaluation of genetic function. By
determining their unique SNPs, individuals can make precise
decisions about their diet and lifestyle, ultimately improving their
overall health. The confidential screening results are sent to the
patient's healthcare practitioner, who will interpret them and create a
personalized plan of action designed to help the patient achieve
maximum health and vitality.
