Adrenal imbalance
Adrenal imbalance or adrenal fatigue occurs when the adrenal glands can’t function properly.
The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys. They produce hormones such as
cortisol and aldosterone which help regulate various processes in the body, including sodium
and potassium regulation and blood pressure. Some common symptoms of adrenal fatigue
are nervousness, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, body aches, light-headedness, low blood
pressure, weight loss and hair loss.

Alkaline/acid balance
Alkaline-acid balance is the right balance of acidic and basic (alkaline) compounds the blood
needs to function properly. Kidneys and lungs work to maintain the acid-base balance. Even
slight variations from the normal range can have significant effects on the vital organs.
Acid and alkaline levels are measured on a pH scale. An increase in acidity causes pH levels
to fall. An increase in alkaline causes pH levels to rise. Respiratory acidosis and alkalosis are
due to a problem with the lungs. Metabolic acidosis and alkalosis are due to a problem with
the kidneys.
Both respiratory and metabolic acidosis can show symptoms such as breathing difficulty,
fatigue, and confusion.
Symptoms of alkalosis may include muscle twitching, hand tremor, muscle spasms,
numbness and tingling, nausea, vomiting, light-headedness and confusion.

Amino acids
An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made up of a basic amino group, an acidic
carboxyl group and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid.
Amino acids function as the building blocks of proteins. They provide many of the structural
elements of a cell, and they help to bind cells together into tissues.
See Amino Acid Testing Kit

Bacteria
Bacteria, singular bacterium, any of a group of microscopic single-celled organisms that live
in enormous numbers in almost every environment on earth, from deep-sea vents to deep
below earth’s surface to the digestive tracts of humans. As a group, they display exceedingly
diverse metabolic capabilities and can use almost any organic compound, and some
inorganic compounds, as a food source. Some bacteria can cause diseases in humans,
animals, or plants, but most are harmless and are beneficial ecological agents whose
metabolic activities sustain higher life forms.

Blood sugar imbalance

A blood sugar imbalance typically means one of two things. The level of blood sugar can be
below the optimum range, hypoglycaemia, or it can be above the optimum range,
hyperglycaemia. Ideally, blood glucose levels range from 6 – 8mmol/L (108 to 144 mg/dl
before meals, and 6 – 10mmol/L (108 to 180 mg/dl) 2 hours after starting a meal.
An imbalance in blood sugar is relatively common and may cause symptoms such as being
tired, drowsy during the day, struggling to wake up in the morning, irritable, nervous and
moody, forgetful, headachy, needing frequent meals and craving sweet food.
Candida
Candida is a fungus that can cause infection in people. The most common is Candida
albicans. Candida normally lives on the skin and inside the body, in places such as the mouth,
throat, gut, and vagina, without causing any problems. Candida can cause infections if it
grows out of control or if it enters deep into the body (for example, the bloodstream or internal
organs like the kidney, heart, or brain). Candidiasis that develops in the mouth or throat is
called thrush or oropharyngeal candidiasis. Candidiasis in the vagina is commonly referred
to as a yeast infection.

Cholesterol imbalance
Cholesterol imbalance or dyslipidaemia is the medical term for an imbalance of cholesterol
in the bloodstream and is a major risk factor in developing cardiovascular disease. HDL is
commonly called “good” cholesterol and is vital to a person’s health. LDL, or “bad”
cholesterol, can accumulate on the walls of arteries, increasing the risk of cardiovascular
events like heart attacks (myocardial infarctions), angina, and stroke.

Depression
Depression is classified as a mood disorder. It may be described as feelings of sadness, loss,
or anger that interfere with a person’s everyday activities. People experience depression in
different ways. It may interfere with their daily work, resulting in lost time and lower
productivity. It can also influence relationships and some chronic health conditions.
Depression is considered a serious medical condition that can get worse without proper
treatment. Depression can cause a variety of symptoms such as irritability, feeling empty and
hopeless, no longer finding pleasure in favourite activities, thinking or talking more slowly,
difficulty concentrating, difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much and many others.

Digestion
Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food
molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. Digestion is a form of
catabolism that is often divided into two processes based on how food is broken down:
mechanical and chemical digestion. The term mechanical digestion refers to the physical
breakdown of large pieces of food into smaller pieces which can subsequently be accessed
by digestive enzymes. In chemical digestion, enzymes break down food into the small
molecules the body can use.

Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes help break down food. The mouth, stomach, and small intestine make
some digestive enzymes. However, the majority come from your pancreas, which floods the
small intestine with enzymes such as lipase, which breaks down fats, amylase, which breaks
down carbohydrates and proteases and peptidases, which break down proteins.
See Enzymes & Digestion Testing Kit
[Link]

Dysbiosis
Dysbiosis is often defined as an “imbalance” in the gut microbial community that is associated
with disease. This imbalance could be due to the gain or loss of community members or
changes in relative abundance of microbes. Dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota making up
the human microbiome can have a profound influence on energy and immune homeostasis,
which result in significant metabolic and immunologic effects on the host, ultimately leading
to many local and systemic diseases.
Electromagnetic stress
Electromagnetic stress occurs after the increasing use of electronic equipment such as alarm
clock, lamp, phones and wireless routers. Electromagnetic frequency (EMF), or
electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted from these appliances can disrupt normal cell
function and cause a variety of symptoms. Studies have demonstrated that electromagnetic
waves, as the one of the most important physical factors, may alter cognitive and non-
cognitive behaviours, depending on the frequency and energy. Extremely Low Frequency
Electro-Magnetic Fields (ELF-EMF) can alter growth, morphology, differentiation, death
program and nerve impulse transmission in the cells.
See Radiation Testing Kit
[Link]

Environmental stress
Environmental stress refers to a negative subjective psychological response to an
environmental stimulus. It is important to note that an environmental stimulus that is
stressful for one person in a particular situation may not be stressful for another or for the
same person in a different situation.
Some of the most common and widely studied environmental stressors include noise,
crowding, poor housing quality, poor neighbourhood quality, and traffic congestion. Other
stressors involve colours, air quality, light, insects, tornadoes and other natural disasters and
extreme temperatures.

Fat metabolism
Fat metabolism or lipid metabolism is a biological metabolic process that breaks down
ingested fats into fatty acids and glycerol, then into simpler compounds that can be used with
the aid of cells of the body. Lipid metabolism is central to the function of white adipose tissue,
with the tissue having a central role in storing triacylglycerides following feeding and releasing
free fatty acids and monoacylglycerides during periods of fasting. These compounds
ultimately get processed and broken down to produce energy to the body’s cells.
Fat metabolism is controlled by hormones such as insulin, growth hormone,
adrenocorticotropic hormone, and glucocorticoids. The rate of fat catabolism is inversely
related to the rate of carbohydrate catabolism, and in some conditions, such as diabetes
mellitus, the secretion of these hormones increases to counter a decrease in carbohydrate
catabolism.

Female hormone imbalance

Hormonal imbalance means too much or too little of a certain hormone. Even tiny changes
can have serious effects throughout the whole body. Common causes include menopause,
pregnancy, breastfeeding, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hormone drugs like birth
control pills and primary ovarian insufficiency. Symptoms of a hormonal imbalance may
include heavy or irregular periods, including missed periods, stopped period, or frequent
period, hirsutism, acne on the face, chest, or upper back, thinning hair or hair loss, weight
gain or trouble losing weight, darkening of skin, especially along neck creases, in the groin,
and underneath breasts, skin tags, vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, pain during sex and
night sweats.
See Hormones & Glands Testing Kit

Food preservatives/colouring
Colours and preservatives are only two of the many classes of additives in food, but they are
of interest because many reported cases of sensitivity involve these two groups of
substances. The term “preservatives” refers to the functional name for a wide variety of
compounds that help slow or prevent bacterial growth in a wide range of products, including
foods, medicines, and personal care products. These compounds can be natural or synthetic.
A food colouring is any substance that is added to food or drink to change its colour. Some
food colourings are extracted from natural sources, others are artificially synthesised. Recent
studies indicate that certain artificial colouring agents and synthetic food preservatives
aggravate symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
See Food Additives Testing Kit

Fungi
Fungus, plural fungi, any of about 144,000 known species of organisms of the kingdom fungi,
which includes yeasts, rusts, smuts, mildews, moulds, and mushrooms. There are also many
funguslike organisms, including slime moulds and oomycetes (water moulds) that do not
belong to kingdom fungi but are often called fungi. Fungi are among the most widely
distributed organisms on earth and are of great environmental and medical importance. Many
fungi are free-living in soil or water, others form parasitic or symbiotic relationships with plants
or animals.
See Moulds, Fungi & Yeasts Testing Kit

Gluten intolerance
Gluten intolerance is a fairly common problem. It is characterized by adverse reactions to
gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Celiac disease is the most severe form of
gluten intolerance. It is an autoimmune disease that affects about 1% of the population and
may lead to damage in the digestive system. However, 0.5–13% of people may also have
non-celiac gluten sensitivity, a milder form of gluten intolerance that can still cause problems.
Symptoms may include bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, smelly faeces, abdominal pain,
headaches, feeling tired, skin problems, depression, unexplained weight loss, iron deficiency
anaemia, anxiety, autoimmune disease, joint and muscle pain, arm or leg numbness, and
brain fog.
See Food Testing Kit 1

Heavy metals
Heavy metal poisoning is the accumulation of various heavy metals in the body. Sources of
heavy metals include environmental and industrial factors, food, water, and air.
Depending on the level of exposure, medications given intravenously under medical
supervision can remove these toxins. These medications bind to the metals, a process called
chelation. Some foods can also help to detoxify heavy metals from the body. These foods
bind to the metals and remove them in the digestive process. Heavy metal detox foods to eat
include coriander, garlic, wild blueberries, lemon water, spirulina, barley grass juice powder,
Atlantic dulse, curry, green tea, tomatoes and probiotics.
See Metal Testing Kit

Helicobacter Pylori
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria. These germs can enter the body and live
in the digestive tract. After many years, they can cause ulcers in the lining of your stomach
or the upper part of the small intestine. Infection with H. pylori is common. About two-thirds
of the world’s population has it in their bodies. For most people, it doesn’t cause ulcers or any
other symptoms.

Histamine
Histamine is a chemical responsible for a few major functions. It communicates messages to
your brain, triggers release of stomach acid to help digestion and releases after injury or
allergic reaction as part of the immune response. When histamine levels get too high or when
it cannot break down properly, it can affect normal bodily functions. Histamine is associated
with common allergic responses and symptoms. Some common reactions are headaches or
migraines, nasal congestion or sinus issues, fatigue, hives, digestive issues, irregular
menstrual cycle, nausea and vomiting.

Iatrogenics
Iatrogenic disease is the result of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures undertaken on a
patient. With the multitude of drugs prescribed to a single patient adverse drug reactions are
bound to occur. An iatrogenic disorder occurs when the deleterious effects of the therapeutic
or diagnostic regimen causes pathology independent of the condition for which the regimen
is advised.
Diagnostic procedures (mechanical and radiological), therapeutic regimen (drugs, surgery,
other invasive procedures), hospitalization and treating doctor himself can bring about
iatrogenic disorders.

Immune system
The immune system is a complex network of cells and proteins that defends the body against
infection. The main parts of the immune system are white blood cells, antibodies, the
complement system, the lymphatic system, the spleen, the thymus, and the bone marrow.
The immune system keeps a record of every microbe it has ever defeated, in types of white
blood cells (B- and T-lymphocytes) known as memory cells. This means it can recognise and
destroy the microbe quickly if it enters the body again before it can multiply cause disease.
Some infections, like the flu and the common cold, have to be fought many times because so
many different viruses or strains of the same type of virus can cause these illnesses.

Industrial chemicals
For environmental and industrial chemicals, the dermal route is a significant route of
exposure. When compared to the oral route, the skin serves as an important barrier for
absorption because of the substantially lower surface area, membrane thickness, and poor
blood flow. Despite these limitations, many chemicals when presented at large doses can be
substantially absorbed.
Industrial chemical production has increased over the last few decades. In that same time
frame, a number of adverse reproductive and health conditions have increased, including
infertility, early puberty, obesity, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, children's
neurodevelopmental disorders, and non-communicable chronic diseases such as cancer,
cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes. Basic science, animal
model, and epidemiologic data indicate that specific environmental chemicals can interfere
with hormone levels and thus may play an etiologic role in some of these conditions.
Inflammation
Inflammation is a vital part of the immune system's response to injury and infection. It is the
body's way of signalling the immune system to heal and repair damaged tissue, as well as
defend itself against foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria. Without inflammation as
a physiological response, wounds would fester, and infections could become deadly. If the
inflammatory process goes on for too long or if the inflammatory response occurs in places
where it is not needed, it can become problematic. Chronic inflammation has been linked to
certain diseases such as heart disease or stroke, and may also lead to autoimmune
disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

Liver congestion
Hepatic or liver congestion is caused by stasis of blood within the liver parenchyma due to
the compromise of hepatic venous drainage. It is a common complication of congestive heart
failure and constrictive pericarditis, wherein elevated central venous pressure is directly
transmitted from the right atrium to the hepatic veins because of their close anatomic
relationship. The liver becomes tensely swollen as the hepatic sinusoids engorge and dilate
with blood.

Male hormone imbalance

Testosterone is the primary sex hormone and anabolic steroid in males. Testosterone plays
an important role in male development. If the body is not producing enough testosterone, it
can cause a variety of symptoms. In the adult male, symptoms include development of breast
tissue, breast tenderness, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, decreased sex drive,
infertility, decrease in beard and body hair growth, osteoporosis, difficulty concentrating and
hot flashes.
See Hormones & Glands Testing Kit

Methylation
Methylation is where a molecule called a ‘methyl group’ is added to another substance, such
as DNA or a protein, so the substance receiving the methyl group is able to function. These
methyl groups are produced by a process called the ‘methylation cycle’ which involves
various molecules found in the body, including S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), homocysteine
and methionine, and is dependent on specific nutrients.
The methylation cycle helps to operate both physically and mentally. Such functions include
nervous, cardiovascular and immune system activity, as well as energy production, heavy
metal detoxification and hormone balance. Another important bodily function that methylation
is connected to is DNA.

Microbial metabolites
Microbial metabolites represent an incredibly diverse array of chemistry. Microbes use
metabolites to regulate the environment in which they live and from this platform they control
the function and shape of much of the world’s biodiversity. Microbes use small molecular
weight compounds, known as metabolites, to regulate their own growth and development, to
encourage other organisms beneficial to them and suppress organisms that are harmful.
Microbial metabolites are also used for therapeutic applications.
The microbiome and its metabolites are important orchestrators of local and systemic immune
responses, anticancer immunity, and the host response to cancer therapy. Apart from their
role as an energy source, metabolites have been shown to modulate inflammation, immune
cell function and cancer cell survival.
Minerals
Minerals are elements that are found in the earth and food and essential to life. Minerals are
divided into two categories based on how much the human body needs. Macro-minerals are
needed in larger amounts and include calcium, potassium, sodium, chloride, phosphorus,
and magnesium. Although equally important, trace minerals, including iron, copper, fluoride,
selenium, zinc, chromium, molybdenum, iodine, and manganese, are needed in smaller
amounts.
See Nutrition Testing Kit

Mould
Mould is a type of fungus. They belong to the group known as fungi, which also include
mildews, yeasts, mushrooms and puffballs. These small organisms can be black, white,
orange, green, or purple and live almost anywhere indoors and outside. Moulds thrive on
moisture and reproduce through lightweight spores that travel through the air. As they grow,
they become visible and can become a health problem, releasing microscopic spores that
aggravate symptoms of allergies and asthma in some people.
See Moulds, Fungi & Yeasts Testing Kit
[Link]

Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by certain moulds (fungi) and can be
found in food. Mycotoxins appear in the food chain as a result of mould infection of crops
both before and after harvest. Exposure to mycotoxins can happen either directly by eating
infected food or indirectly from animals that are fed contaminated feed, in particular from milk.
Mycotoxins can cause a variety of adverse health effects and pose a serious health threat to
both humans and livestock. The adverse health effects of mycotoxins range from acute
poisoning to long-term effects such as immune deficiency and cancer.
See Moulds, Fungi & Yeasts Testing Kit
[Link]

Oxidative stress
Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. Free
radicals are oxygen-containing molecules with an uneven number of electrons. The uneven
number allows them to easily react with other molecules. Free radicals can cause large chain
chemical reactions in the body because they react so easily with other molecules. These
reactions are called oxidation. They can be beneficial or harmful. When there are more free
radicals present than can be kept in balance by antioxidants, the free radicals can start doing
damage to fatty tissue, DNA, and proteins in the body. Proteins, lipids, and DNA make up a
large part of the body, so that damage can lead to a vast number of diseases over time.
These include diabetes, atherosclerosis, inflammatory conditions, hypertension, heart
disease, neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s and cancer.

Pancreatic enzymes
Pancreatic enzymes are released into the small intestine as proteases (which split proteins),
amylases (which split polysaccharides), and lipases (which break down fats). These enzymes
enhance digestion of fats, proteins, and starches in the upper duodenum and jejunum. When
pancreatic enzyme levels decrease, the cause is usually functional hypochlorhydria.
Symptoms such as bloating, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, insomnia, muscle aches, pain,
and skin conditions that occur when the skin is used as an accessory ouster of excretes.
Causal factors include an abundance of processed food in the diet and overuse of
medications such as antibiotics and painkillers.
Parasites
A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the
expense of its host. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in
humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites. Parasitic infections cause a tremendous
burden of disease in both the tropics and subtropics as well as in more temperate climates.
Of all parasitic diseases, malaria causes the most deaths globally.

Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides

A pesticide is any substance used to kill or control insects, weeds, fungi, rodents, bacteria,
or other unwanted organisms. The term pesticide also applies to herbicides, fungicides, and
various other substances used to control pests. Herbicides are, by far, the most commonly
applied pesticide for weed control followed by insecticides, fungicides, and rodenticides. Non-
organic farms spray toxic persistent pesticides and herbicides to keep pests at bay, and many
of these chemicals are proving to be harmful to pollinators and other wildlife, as well as to
human health. They break down very slowly, remaining in our soil, water and air. Some can
continue to cause damage for decades after they are first used.
Fungicides are periodically used, especially in humid regions, to control fungal pathogens, or
other pathogens.

Pharmaceuticals
A pharmaceutical is a substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease
and for restoring, correcting, or modifying organic functions. Pharmaceuticals are generally
classified by chemical group, by the way they work in the body (pharmacological effect), and
by therapeutic use. Alkaloids were the first pure pharmaceuticals derived from natural
substances (plants); they include quinine, nicotine, cocaine, atropine, and morphine. Drugs
of animal origin include glandular extracts containing hormones, such as insulin for use in
treating diabetes. Antibiotics, vaccines, human blood-plasma fractions, and steroid hormones
are other important pharmaceuticals manufactured from natural substances.
See Pharmaceutical Testing Kit
[Link]

Plants/Pollens
Pollen is a fine powder made up of microspores produced by male plants. It is also called
flower sperm. Pollen carries the male gametes (reproductive cells) of seed plants. Floral
nectar and pollen have ecological significance as food resources for various insects.
In people with pollen allergies, the immune system mistakenly identifies the harmless pollen
as a dangerous intruder. It begins to produce histamines to fight against the pollen.
Symptoms of pollen allergy include sneezing, stuffy nose and watery eyes.

Probiotics
Probiotics are live microorganisms that are intended to have health benefits when consumed
or applied to the body. They can be found in yogurt and other fermented foods, dietary
supplements, and beauty products. Some bacteria help digest food, destroy disease-causing
cells, or produce vitamins. Many of the microorganisms in probiotic products are the same as
or similar to microorganisms that naturally live in our bodies. Probiotics may contain a variety
of microorganisms. The most common are bacteria that belong to groups called Lactobacillus
and Bifidobacterium. Other bacteria may also be used as probiotics, and so may yeasts such
as Saccharomyces boulardii.
Different types of probiotics may have different effects. For example, if a specific kind of
Lactobacillus helps prevent an illness, that doesn’t necessarily mean that another kind of
Lactobacillus or any of the Bifidobacterium probiotics would do the same thing.
Protein metabolism
Ingested protein is the sole source of the ten essential amino acids, and the primary source
of nitrogen necessary for the synthesis of other amino acids. Protein is digested and broken
down to amino acids which are absorbed into the circulation and taken to cells throughout
the body, primarily the liver and quickly become combined by peptide linkages. Protein
metabolism leads to the production of substances (like urea) still containing chemical energy
which by further combustion would liberate additional heat.

Recreational drugs
Recreational drugs are defined as substances used without medical justification for
psychoactive effects often in the belief that occasional use of such a substance is not habit-
forming or addictive. They can be delineated into three main subtypes: stimulants,
depressants, and psychotropics.
Recreational drugs include amphetamine and its analogues, as well as cocaine, a selective
norepinephrine transporter blocker. The majority of recreational drugs have effects on the
cardiovascular system. One danger inherent in the use of illicit drugs is a lack of quality
control, such that users risk consuming a wide range of inert or potentially toxic substances
along with the desired narcotic.
See Drugs & Addictions Testing Kit
[Link]

Salicylates
Salicylates are a group of chemicals derived from salicylic acid. They are found naturally in
certain foods and also synthetically produced for use in products like aspirin, toothpaste and
food preservatives. Both natural and synthetic forms can cause adverse reactions in some
people. Compared to foods, medications like aspirin contain high amounts of salicylates,
which is why salicylate intolerance is most commonly linked to medications.
However, those with a sensitivity to salicylates may experience side effects when they
consume a food or use a product that contains even small amounts of these chemicals.
Foods high in salicylates include almonds, apples, apricots, berries, cherries, coffee,
cucumbers, pickles, grapes, raisins, nectarines, oranges, peaches, capsicum, plums, tea and
tomatoes.

Stress
Stress is the body’s natural defence against predators and danger. It causes the body to flood
with hormones that prepare its systems to evade or confront danger. People commonly refer
to this as the fight-or-flight mechanism. When humans face a challenge or threat, they have
a partly physical response. The body activates resources that help people either stay and
confront the challenge or get to safety as fast as possible. The body produces larger
quantities of the chemicals cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. These trigger the
following physical reactions: increased blood pressure, heightened muscle preparedness,
sweating and alertness. These factors all improve a person’s ability to respond to a potentially
hazardous or challenging situation. Norepinephrine and epinephrine also cause a faster heart
rate.
Chronic stress, that is stress that lasts for a longer period of time, such as money problems,
unhappy marriage, or trouble at work can have adverse health effects. The body stays alert,
even though there is no danger. The body may become so used to chronic stress that the
person is unaware of it. Chronic stress may lead to high blood pressure, heart disease,
diabetes, obesity, depression, anxiety, skin problems, menstrual problems, diarrhoea,
constipation, forgetfulness, frequent aches and pains, headaches, lack of energy or focus,
sexual problems, stiff jaw or neck, tiredness, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, upset
stomach, use of alcohol or drugs to relax, and weight loss or gain.
Sugar metabolism
Sugar metabolism is the process by which the energy contained in the food we eat is available
as fuel for the body. Sugar, also known as glucose stimulates the pancreas to release insulin,
which then triggers uptake of glucose by cells in the body (e.g. muscle cells) causing blood
glucose to return to base levels. Insulin will turn off fat burning and promote glucose burning
as the body’s primary fuel source. Any excess glucose ends up being stored as glycogen in
the muscles, and it can also be stored as lipid in the fat tissue.

Thyroid imbalance
Thyroid imbalance occurs when the thyroid gland, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at
the base of the neck, produces too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) or not enough
(hypothyroidism). Four common disorders of the thyroid are Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’
disease, goitre, and thyroid nodules. Although the effects can be unpleasant or
uncomfortable, most thyroid problems can be managed well if properly diagnosed and
treated.
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism may include trouble sleeping, anxiety, irritability, nervousness,
weight loss, enlarged thyroid gland, muscle weakness, tremors, irregular menstrual periods,
amenorrhoea, sensitivity to heat, vision problems and eye irritation.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism may include feeling tired, weight gain, forgetfulness, frequent
and heavy menstrual periods, dry and coarse hair, hoarse voice, and intolerance to cold.

Vaccinations
Vaccination is the administration of a vaccine to help the immune system to develop
protection from a disease. Vaccines contain a microorganism or virus in a weakened, live or
killed state, or proteins or toxins from the organism. In stimulating the body’s adaptive
immunity, they help prevent sickness from an infectious disease.
The most common side effects after vaccinations may include pain, swelling, or redness at
the sight of vaccination, mild fever, chills, feeling tired, headache, muscle and joint aches.
More serious side effects may include high fever, trouble breathing, nervous system problems
such as numbness or tingling, vision or hearing problems, seizures, problems with balance
or muscle movement, confusion, anaphylactic shock, Kawasaki disease, skin rash,
encephalitis, hypotonic-hypo responsive episode (limp and unresponsive episode), purpura,
spastic paralysis, convulsions, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease,
arthritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, inflammation of the lining of the stomach and intestines,
inflammation of the spinal cord, low platelet count and bleeding from immune response,
pancreatitis, destruction of red blood cells by body’s own antibodies, arthralgia, urticaria,
intussusception, loss of facial muscle movements, loss of bladder or bowel control, and more.

Virus
A virus is an infectious agent of small size and simple composition that can multiply only in
living cells of animals, plants, or bacteria. The name is from a Latin word meaning “slimy
liquid” or “poison”. A virus particle is made up of genetic material housed inside a protein
shell, or capsid. When some disease-causing viruses enter host cells, they start making new
copies of themselves very quickly, often outpacing the immune system’s production of
protective antibodies. Rapid virus production can result in cell death and spread of the virus
to nearby cells. Some viruses replicate themselves by integrating into the host cell genome,
which can lead to chronic illness or malignant transformation and cancer.

Vitamins
A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient which an organism needs
in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism.
Vitamin, any of several organic substances that are necessary in small quantities for normal
health and growth in higher forms of animal life. Vitamins are distinct in several ways from
other biologically important compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Although
these latter substances also are indispensable for proper bodily functions, almost all of them
can be synthesised by animals in adequate quantities. Vitamins, on the other hand, generally
cannot be synthesised in amounts sufficient to meet bodily needs and therefore must be
obtained from the diet or from some synthetic source. For this reason, vitamins are called
essential nutrients.
See Nutrition Testing Kit

Xenoestrogens
Xenoestrogens are “foreign” oestrogens, substances that are close enough in molecular
structure to oestrogen that they can bind to oestrogen receptor sites with potentially
hazardous outcomes. Xenoestrogens are particularly dangerous to animal and human health
because they are persistent, ubiquitous chemicals in the environment that bioaccumulate and
may even be activated further as a result of biotransformation. Exposure to xenoestrogens
occurs mainly by ingesting contaminated foods and liquids, although small amounts may be
inhaled or absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes in the body. In the case of the
developing foetus, the circulation connecting maternal, placental, and foetal tissues may
transport a xenoestrogen to a variety of organs and tissues.

Yeasts
Yeasts are microscopic, single-celled organisms belonging to the fungi kingdom — the
taxonomic group that also includes mushrooms and mould. Yeasts are found throughout
nature, inhabiting soil, vegetation, and aquatic ecosystems. They are also commonly found
on the bodies of humans and other animals. Yeasts from the genus Candida are pathogenic,
meaning they cause diseases. Candida yeast infections are known as candidiasis, and can
affect numerous areas of the body, including the skin, genitals, throat, mouth, and blood.
Several common yeasts are also beneficial and important to the food and beverage industry.
Bakers use the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a leavening agent to lighten and soften
baked goods. In a process called fermentation, these fungi convert the sugars present in
dough into carbon dioxide gas, which forms pockets in the dough, causing it to expand.
