Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine Preview select pages of the book here (PDF) Order Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine The first edition, Laboratory Evaluations in Molecular Medicine, has been well received by those interested in clinical laboratory tests for identifying nutrients, toxicants, and other factors underlying patient health and disease. It was the first of its kind, pulling together much of the scientific literature’s foundation for these tests and explaining their interpretation and clinical application in a systematic manner. The second edition incorporates the most recent advances in this field along with improved graphics, case illustrations and summary charts. The goal in presenting the second edition, Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine, is to organize and explain the various tests that are available so as to make their study and use more applicable to medical education and clinical practice. The primary focus of this book is on the laboratory test themselves and how the test results are used clinically. The editors hope that the integration of descriptive text, summary tables, full color illustrations and over 3800 citations to the medical and scientific literature will help clinicians make broader use of these tests and concomitant therapies to improve patient outcomes. Features:
Benefits: This book can be your single source reference for the testing most used in your practice to identify candidates for nutrient interventions and to evaluate toxic or metabolic issues. Whether you want to review the significance of a single measurement or to interpret complex multiple profile data, you can quickly find the information you need to design effective treatments. Quotes: “Humility is the primary requirement for the practice of Integrative Medicine. If you can supply that, then Richard Lord and Andy Bralley's book will equip you with the second item in your tool kit - a compass and map for navigating the daunting landscape of biochemical individuality.” – Sidney M. Baker, MD “I am excited to recommend the new volume entitled Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine. Rather than being an esoteric biochemistry text, it provides intelligent and comprehensive discussion of invaluable clinical information and provides direct guidance to investigate the source of patient problems. The information is well organized, it is interesting, and it serves both as a reference book as well as an instructional guide for state-of-the-art laboratory testing.” – Stephen J. Genuis, MD, FRSC, DABOG, DABEM, FAAEM

The ION Handbook Metametrix created the ION (Individual-Optimal-Nutrition) Profile over ten years ago, envisioning it as a standard in integrative medicine testing. Since then we have been gratified to see its broad acceptance among clinicians. The ION Profile combines the most fundamental nutritional/metabolic tests - amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, minerals, vitamins, and oxidant stress markers-into a single profile. The resulting synergy provides a unique and effective basis for designing customized nutritional interventions for each patient. More... 
A Revolution in Health through Nutritional Biochemistry Biochemical testing is a revolutionary concept in medicine that has saved many lives and improved the health of countless others. Symptoms and diseases have underlying biochemical causes, and advanced testing technologies can now detect the exact steps within pathways causing diseases, including depression, fatigue, adult-onset asthma, siezure disorders, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, memory loss, and more. Biochemical abnormalities may then be corrected using targeted nutrient therapies. Nutritional Biochemistry is a revolutionary approach that is redefining medicine and providing clinicians the ability to treat the underlying causes of disease instead of just ameliorating symptoms with drugs.

Detoxify Or Die We are all a toxic cesspool of the lifetime accumulation of chemicals from our air, food, and water. U.S. EPA studies of chemicals stored in the fat of humans show that 100% of people had dioxins, PCBs, dichlorobenzene, and xylene while another analysis of the exhaled breath of humans showed carcinogenic benzene in 89% and perchloroethylene in 93%. And these chemicals are just the tip of the iceberg. For now we have the proof that it is the steady silent accumulation over a lifetime that produces most diseases, including cancer. But medicine merely sees every disease as a deficiency of some drug or surgery, or tells us there is no known cause or cure. More...

They also shrink the brain and raise your risk of heart attack, senility and blindness. High blood pressure is not a deficiency of blood pressure-lowering drugs. But there are dozens of ways you can permanently cure your high blood pressure without drugs. More...

The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First "Broken brains" go by many names—depression, anxiety, memory loss, brain fog, attention deficit disorder, autism, and dementia, to name a few—and show up in radically different ways from person to person, making each seem like a separate problem. But the truth is that these "diagnoses" are all the result of a few basic problems with our biology. Pinpoint these biological problems, fix them, and let your body's natural healing intelligence take over to repair your brain. Now you can experience an UltraMind—one that is highly focused and able to pay attention at will, with a strong, reliable memory and a mood that is calm, confident, in control, and in good spirits. Conventional treatments don't help, or provide only slight benefit, because they just manage symptoms rather than deal with—and heal—the underlying problem. And just as brain problems all stem from the same root causes, they all have the same solution—The UltraMind Solution. The UltraMind Solution is the future of medicine, the culmination of the last twenty years of research on what makes the brain happy, focused, and calm; research that has uncovered a few simple factors that explain why things go wrong and how to fix them. Don't wait for this revolution in medicine to trickle into your doctor's office: it usually takes research twenty years to move from the lab to the patient. The answers are here, right now, in The UltraMind Solution. More... Test, Don’t Guess! Laboratory Testing for an UltraMind

The Gluten Connection One of the nation’s top clinical nutritionists presents her 14-day program for treating and reversing gluten sensitivity, a condition that affects as much as 35 to 50 percent of the U.S. population and is a major contributing factor to an array of chronic illnesses Struggling with weight gain? Plagued by fatigue? Suffering from joint pain? According to preeminent clinical nutritionist Dr. Shari Lieberman, these symptoms are among the hallmarks of a little-known but surprisingly common sensitivity to gluten, a protein in certain grains. Dr. Lieberman has been investigating gluten sensitivity for more than 20 years. In her experience, eliminating gluten can alleviate many troubling symptoms for which doctors often can’t find a cause, as well as chronic conditions for which mainstream medicine offers little hope of relief—including rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, lupus, and irritable bowel syndrome. In fact, 85 percent of Dr. Lieberman’s clients who follow a gluten-free diet report dramatic improvement in their health—and scientific studies support her results. In The Gluten Connection, Dr. Lieberman presents a simple questionnaire to help readers assess their risk for gluten sensitivity and provides a 14-day eating plan to start them on the path to improved health and vitality. She also recommends nutritional supplements to support and maximize the therapeutic potential of a gluten-free diet. More...
