Details of the Gold Standard Diagnostic Tests

GSD 1: Preliminary interview with doctor.

GSD 2: is a detailed investigation of problem areas by the latest generation of ultra-sound machines. These show the size, form and internal characteristics of the major organs including the thyroid gland, the bladder and also the prostate gland in men and the ovaries, womb and breasts in women. This completes the investigation of the body structure.

GSD 3: the functional status of the organism.

- The important thing here is that we need to know not just the condition of the organs but how they are working. You need to bear in mind that during the investigation into the structure of the organs by ultra-sound, computer or magneto-resonance tomography, an organ might look absolutely healthy, the size normal, and the contours even, and the internal structure appear to be without change. None the less, the functionality of that organ may be much reduced or sharply impaired and this will not be shown by the previous types of investigation. A long period of impaired functionality will lead eventually to a change in structure and for that reason, the study of functionality is one of the most important and fundamental issues of modern medicine. The situation is complicated by the fact there is very little appropriate technology and equipment to do this. In 1998, specialists in our Institute produced the Medical Automated Diagnostic Complex (DCM) – a very high frequency radio spectrometer. This method (which offers a safe, non-invasive way of measuring the functionality of the patients’ organs) is protected by three patents of the Russian Federation. We introduced it into the practice of the clinic as a tool to measure the functional status of the organism. The DCM allows us to illustrate the functional activity of the organs, the extent of their dysfunction, ‘problem areas’ and usually enables the identification of the first principles (what does this mean?) of the illness. As a result, the doctor is able to prescribe a course of treatment specifically tailored to the illness.

GSD 4: two electrocardiograms – classic and high definition.

This presents the doctor with further information about the working of the myocardium. This assessment is then followed by an ECG performed by a high definition scan by the ‘Cardiovisor.’ This equipment is one of the latest Russian inventions.

- The Cardiovisor enables us to model the heart on the computer, to see the tiniest things that are wrong in its activity and to make a prognosis of the condition of the myocardium for the future.

So we can establish an individual plan of treatment for our patient.

GSD 5, 6 and 7: General analysis of urine and blood and a detailed bio-chemical analysis of the blood.

Although these tests are commonplace, these three types of tests can provide information of great significance. However the results need to be interpreted properly to obtain the appropriate information about the patient’s health, including the functionality of the liver, kidneys, lungs and inflammatory processes.

GSD 8 and 9: Tests determine whether or not the patient has any kind of pathogenic illness (bacterial or viral). It is now known that certain types of infection occur in almost all of us. They are therefore often called ‘conditional - pathogenic’. If the immune system is functioning in a normal way, these infections remain asymptomatic. However, a reduction in the immune system can cause the infection to become symptomatic and pathological.

It is therefore very important for us to know which infections are present and how active they are in the patient. It is a vital part of the diagnostic process to find out the underlying reasons for a person’s illness and to prescribe the right treatment specific to him.

GSD 10: Analysis of the blood for hormone levels. Hormones influence and manage all the biological processes in the body and are of great importance to the system as a whole

GSD 11: Analysis of blood for hepatitis. The liver plays such an important role in the body that any such infection plays a detrimental role in general health.

GSD 12: The final test of the GSD is a spectral analysis of microelements in the hair and nails. This accurately details which microelements are in a normal range and which are lowered, which has important diagnostic implications. For example, a deficit of calcium is linked to the exhaustion of the nervous system and the adrenal glands; magnesium to the myocardium; a surplus of sodium to the poor functioning of the kidneys, specifically the water/salt exchange. Thanks to the information these tests give us, we can administer tiny corrections – with the accuracy of a sniper shot – to any imbalance in a given microelement. This will, of course, vary for each individual patient.

The diagnostics list is long but it comprises every essential type of investigation which the doctors need in order to compile a full and rounded picture of the health of his patient. It is completed by a final consultation with the doctor who will also make recommendations for treatment.

The Gold Standard Plus Programmes

- The GSD list provides the basis for a series of diagnostic programmes for specific conditions. These are: “Life without High Blood Pressure”, “Heart and the Cardiovascular System”, “Life without Anxiety”, “Life without Diabetes”, “Life without Pain in the Joints”, “Life without Allergies”, “Life without Asthma”, “Life without Psoriasis”, “Health for Women”.

These programmes include extra tests, relative to these specific conditions. For example, in the programme ‘Heart and Cardiovascular System,’ we include echocardiography (a visualization of the heart) and dopplergraphy (the latest form of ultrasound investigation of the vessels of the neck and lower extremities).

The Gold Standard – Minimum time for maximum results

We are very aware that time is important to our patients. The actual investigations take only three hours. The full results are available five to seven days later, when the detailed analyses are complete and when the doctor has met the patient again for a detailed consultation. All results are given to the client in written form, including the doctor’s recommendation for treatment either as an out-patient or as a day-care patient in the clinic if there is a serious condition to be treated.
