This test is also known as the Essential Metabolic Fatty Acid test and is one of the most important and useful tests that we can perform. It gives a comprehensive breakdown of the activity of the fatty acids from which the body’s inflammation is derived. By knowing the ratio of the pro inflammatory to anti inflammatory hormones in your body, you can then actively reduce this by alterations to diet and supplementation. Reduced inflammation produces reduced pain and improved well being and has been shown in research to be associated with an improvement in function in MS and a large reduction in heart disease. The test also shows activity of the Delta Five De Saturase enzyme, which is the principal enzyme, involved in the production of inflammatory hormones. This information can be very useful in advising on dietary changes. Unfortunately this test is not available in the National Health Service in the UK.

The result will usually take 3 – 4 weeks to be processed; it will come first to our medical advisor Dr Tom Gilhooly for analysis although we are planning to automate this process to speed things up to 2 –3 weeks.

Know your medical future and change it for the better.

The level of inflammation in your body is direct measure of your health and this blood test is the most accurate test currently available.

High levels of inflammation have been shown to be associated with increased risk for the following :

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Cancer
• Dementia
• Depression
• Chronic Fatigue

Currently no health checks measure this level

The fatty acid balance in our bodies directly influences the level of inflammatory hormones produced in our cells. These powerful hormones act locally and directly on the cells to influence your health. Many pharmaceutical drugs have been developed to affect these hormones but the most effective and safe way is to naturally altering the fatty acid balance to restore the natural balance to your system.

Most modern humans have an excess of omega 6 in the diet and so in the body. This promotes inflammatory hormone release and ill health. Omega 3 fatty acids are usually in the minority and to achieve a correct balance if 1 : 1 we have to supplement with omega 3.
