Why should you have this test

A major source of toxicity for most people is their digestive system Foods, if not digested correctly, can become fuel for the growth of dysbiotic organisms. These organisms produce toxic chemicals, and when they die, fragments of their cell membranes can be absorbed into the blood stream and trigger and inflammatory response. Our bodies have several mechanisms to protect against toxins, but these defence mechanisms may become impaired, often as a result of being overloaded by toxic material. 

 

Causes of a positive Urinary Indicans Test

Causes of a positive Urinary Indicans Tests can include:

• intestinal overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria (dysbiosis)

• Intestinal mucosal permeability (leaky gut)

• protein maldigestion (or excessive intake)

• consumption of foods not recommended for your blood type

• constipation

• bile duct obstruction

• accelerated protein decomposition (as seen in some infections

 

How is the test performed?

The patient gives a first morning urine sample after eating a protein sufficient meal and no alcohol the evening prior. The urine is mixed with specific reagents and the practitioner then compares the colour of the sample with a chart to get a clear indication of gastrointestinal toxicity. 

 

What are the common signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal toxicity?

• bloating, indigestion, excessive flatulence

• constipation, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome

• fatigue, lethargy and apathy

• difficulty concentrating, poor memory, recurrent headaches

• muscle aching or weakness

• poor immune function

• depression, anxiety, mood swings due to impaired hormone clearance

• allergies

• weight gain

• skin disorders such as acne, eczema and psoriasis

 

How can Anita help to resolve these conditions?

After a thorough consultation and examination of all test results, Anita may put you on a program of detoxification and repair. This may consist of:

• reducing toxic exposure through dietary and lifestyle changes

• removing unwanted bacteria and waste from your digestive system, as well as any fungal and parasitic overgrowths

• renewing and repairing the lining of the digestive tract

• replacing the bad bacteria with healthy ones

• improving digestive function by supporting organs such as the stomach, liver, gall bladder and kidneys

• assisting the body to release toxins more effectively
