What is Cell Based Health

  

Your genes are responsible for providing the blueprints to make enzymes and proteins. Those enzymes and proteins are like keys that unlock and speed up essential chemical reactions in the body.  Your body uses the products of those chemical reactions to perform all of the functions that it needs to perform to keep you healthy and functioning optimally. Single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNP’s (pronounced “snips”) can occur during that make your body make the wrong shaped key. This leads to a slowing of the chemical reactions that require those keys, which leads to dysfunction in the body. SNP’s are passed down along family lines and new ones occur during the fertilization of an egg due to environmental stressors. You get 2 copies of each gene, one from your mother and one from your father. You can therefore have 2 good sets of a gene, 1 good and 1 bad, 1 bad and 1 good, or 2 bad genes. If you have 2 good genes, you are always making the right shaped key. If you have 2 bad genes, you are always making the wrong shaped key and will have a massive slowdown in the chemical reaction that requires that key. It is possible to compensate for that massive slowdown with proper supplementation if you know what genes aren’t making the proper keys. If you have 1 good gene and 1 bad gene, your body could be using either one, meaning you might be making good keys (enzymes) or you might be making bad keys. There are ways that you can make your body use the good genes and thus get good keys.  This is called Epigenetics. We can affect Epigenetics using Chiropractic adjustments, Cold Laser, Vibration therapy, and mechanical spinal traction. By supporting all the genes that are not making the right keys, we can improve your health in a multitude of ways.

Don’t Get it? Don’t Worry, We offer FREE Lectures to Explain Cell Based Health in Simple, Easy to understand language.

The Process

  • A simple cheek swab is done in our office. This is sent to our lab and results are typically available in 3-4 weeks

  • We go through the results of your test and develop a personalized plan of care and choose specific supplementation based on your genetic deficiencies. Then we will sit down with you and thoroughly explain your results to you.

  • We discuss your treatment options and allow you to choose which of those options will work best for you.

What We are Looking for

  • A single nucleotide polymorphism, abbreviated SNP, pronounced snip) is a genomic variant at a single base position in the DNA. These are mostly harmless alterations to the human genome, but certain SNPs make people susceptible to illnesses and diseases.

  • Methylation is the key to genetic control. It is the way which your body controls what genes are being expressed. We check your methylation pathways to make sure that you are able to methylate properly. For example, if you have SNP’s to the MTHFR, MTRR, or MTR genes, your ability to methylate will be compromised.

  • We check for 94 different SNPs that are known to affect the human body in negative ways. The good news is that these genes are all actionable, meaning that we can make up for the SNP by using a specific nutritional response.
