The basis of all health starts with analysis of the mitochondria. Your body is made up of tissue/organs which is made up of cells. At the cellular level there are approximately 500 mitochondria in each cell. Some cells have more, some cells have less. The cardiac cell has approximately 1500 mitochondria. Mitochondria are the basis of energy and the process by which our food is processed for energy. Many of you have heard of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats which then enter the Citric Acid cycle also known as the Kreb cycle. Also the Fatty Acid cycle all of which takes place in the mitochondria. There are byproducts that are measured called, Organic Acids. When there is a deficiency of an organic acid in one of the cycles or an accumulation of one of these organic acids, it is an indicator that there is a breakdown in the Mitochondria causing sickness and autoimmune diseases.
The next aspect is the neuroendocrine pathway. This can be affected by numerous factors. It is estimated that one third of autoimmune diseases and disorders are genetic. Two thirds are our environment. The environment factors are called our epigenetics. There have been estimated approximately 80,000 toxins that we come in contact with. This is the basis for the rise of all autoimmune diseases.
Finally, I look at the gastrointestinal tract profile. This shows indicators of what supplements are needed to reestablish a functioning Biome.
The process that I utilize is called the Kalish Method.
