Putting Personalised Medicine into practice
The concept of Biotransf form was born from a problem confro onting many health practitioners every da ay: Patients complaining about chronic fatigue, neurodegenerative disordders, premature ageing, metabolic s syndrome, diabetes and a variety of other de egenerative illnesses stemming from unknown sources. Research has shown th hat many of these illnesses could b be connected to a common factor-the deva astating effect of a toxin overload.
In a report about enviro onmental issues if was stated that eaach year chemical companies in the United d States manufacture over 2 trillion kkilograms of 9,000 different chemicals and r release over 3 billion kilograms of 650 0 different chemical pollutants into the atmospphere and water. In addition, heavy m metals are released into the environment ffrom industrial manufacturing plant ts and fossil fuel combustion, including 48 8 tons of mercury annually. Exposure tto these ubiquitous chemicals has created a an overall toxic burden that extends ffrom the old to the very young.
Our bodies do have ver ry specialized machinery in place to help us cope with toxins. The main organ involved in this is the liver and here e toxic compounds coming from our own mmetabolism and the environment, are e converted to less harmful compounds that are excreted from the body. To do th his the liver uses a variety of important subs stances to neutralize toxic compound ds. It is when this toxic load reaches a spe ecific stage that the liver reserves are e overwhelmed and free circulation toxins are e beginning to cause serious damage.
The Biotransform productt range has been designed to address s this very problem.Patient-specific formulat ted Biotransform products function on the basis of replenishing depleted su ubstances which the liver needs to reemove toxins from the body. This is accom mplished by measuring a number of ccrucial steps in the liver metabolism and then formulating the needed Bio otransform mixture accordingly.
What makes Biotransform m unique is the fact that every patien t receive a patient- specific mixture after coompleting the Biotransformation tes sts. The different components in the Bio otransform formula are added acco ording to this test outcome and to normallize the levels of the individual com mponents that are necessary for normal lliver metabolism. Recent researchh has shown the connection between prob blems with liver biotransformation and d the generation of dangerous molecules callled free radicals. High levels of free rradicals have been implicated in cellular dam mage and variety of diseases.

The scientist who have been involved in the development o of the Biotransform range are of the opinion n that everyone needs to do the Bio otransform tests to determine how his/her boody is coping with toxin load. The im mportance of these tests can be compared w with a cholesterol test-if you suffer fro om high cholesterol and you do not do the te est, you would not be aware of any po ossible health risks that the high cholesterol may cause. Similarly, the Biotransfo ormation tests were developed to determine how well the liver works with the sp pecific aim to make timely adjustments in su upplementation to prevent liver damagge and even more importantly, help to pprevent diseases like cancer, Par rkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s and other ne eurodegenerative diseases.
There are some very obv viousadvantages in the use of the Biootransform product range: firstly, the proble em with what kind of supplementatio on product to use- often people are drinkingg handfuls of vitamin and mineral suupplements, which may not necessary conta ain the right components for that perso on or it may be that some components are ov ver-supplemented and some essentia al components may not even be present in tthat supplement. In addition, the Biottransform formulas are compounded with so ome very unique actives, many of wh hich are not part of standard supplement pro oducts. The philosophy behind Biotra ansform is really to give meaning to the conccept of personalized medicine-the in ntegrative approach of the future.
This philosophy has cle early very specific advantages: apa art from getting a patient-specific formulate ed product based on the outcome of scientific tests, follow-up biotransformatiion tests after the initial four to six x weeks treatment period allows for assessmment of the effectiveness of the treat tment and possible further adjustment. The e idea is to address obvious proble ems initially and to maintain treatment later on with maintenance levels of the necessary supplements.
Apart from stressing that this test is really important for everybody, there are cases that may need special attention and treatment. This range from individuals with obesity problems (where weight loss is compromised by accumulated toxins) to sportsmen and women where individualized treatment may improve stamina and performance.
The Biotransform product range and tests are available from Future Health SA where a dedicated team of physicians, pharmacists and scientists are available to assist you.
