A Harvest of Health - Services - Indican Assessments

This special urine analysis helps identify biological terrain markers that may indicate intestinal toxemia, malabsorption and/or bacterial overgrowth. Such findings can improve the ability to address certain imbalances in the intestinal tract with proper nutritional support.

The Indican assessment will also detect the body's ability to absorb protein. The inability to digest protein can prevent proper glycemic control, and can lead to serious hormone imbalances. With poor protein digestion, eventually all absorption is adversely affected, including the absorption of water. This can be a prelude to chronic degenerative disorder including gastrointestinal disease and cancer. Without proper digestion, it is impossible to have optimal health.

An Indican assessment will indicate correct ratio of good & bad bacteria in the gut, and whether your gut is absorbing enough protein, carbohydrates and nutrients from your food. When we cannot eliminate waste properly from the colon, toxins produced by pathogenic bacteria are re-absorbed into the blood and recycled by the liver. Auto-intoxication (Indicanuria) has been suggested as one of the root causes of disease. Below are just a few of the symptoms of Indicanuria :

Cardiovascular :
Cardiac arrhythmias, Migraines, Tachycardia

Gas & bloating, Constipation, Diarrhea, Food allergies, Gastritis, Hiatal Hernia, Halitosis (bad breath), Indigestion, "Leaky gut syndrome", Inflammatory Bowel disease (Irritable bowel syndrome)

Endocrine System :
Breast pathology, Eclampsia, Thyroid Goiter

Muscular-Skeletal :
Arthritis, Low back pain & sciatica, Fibromyalgia

Nervous System :
Depression & melancholy, Epilepsy, Loss of concentration & confidence, Mental sluggishness & dullness, Schizophrenia, Senility

Respiratory :
Asthma Irritability, Chemical Sensitivities, Air-born allergies

Sinuses-Nose-Ears-Eyes :
Eye strain, Diseases of the nasal cavities, Sensory poly-neuritis, Diseases of the middle & inner ear
