RHR Plus'™ testing methods and results, thus far, aren't available from other labs who provide lab services. The real question that anyone should ask themselves is, what tests are of value to me?
Please keep in mind that we're not interested in selling a service to you. There is a cost implied, true -- as a business there is a factor of profit -- no question about it. But, our offer should have no bearing on what you need to do for your own best interests along with peace of mind. What RHR Plus™ offers is the only factual way you have of actually viewing the Microbe World with powerful results in front of you.
Q: What I want is the most bang for my buck -- the fluids that will tell me the most, giving me information on specific areas and concerns.
A: In considering what tests you'd like, it is more cost-effective to do as much as you can at once. The reason for this is that the Analyst has to do some prep work with setting up your samples for initial observations; sometimes this involves purchasing supplies depending on what is being sent to the lab. This is the reason why the MFS Basic/Initial service is a little higher than the other sample options.
Say for instance, you have MFS/Basic test done along with 1AS; meaning, stool and earwax, as an example. Several months from now you want another test done with providing sputum – you’ll have to do another MFS because of the set-up costs involved, but in the long run this is irrelevant when it comes to health. This really comes down to what is of value to you and your budget at the time of services.
Q: Please give me some recommendations or why I should pick one sample over another? My other question is how important is urine as far as showing what's going on? I do seem to feel that things hang out more around my kidneys and liver.
A: Our research has revealed that the problem is never just about bacteria, fungus, or parasites of one origin/species -- several co-factors are involved in making someone ill. In recommending what samples are best for you, largely depends on what symptoms you're currently experiencing. What we do know is that with a systemic condition many cells and organic structures slough off into the bloodstream, stool, mucous, etc. Below are explanations on specimen samples for consideration.
1. Nasal Specimen: If there is something going on with the brain/spine, spinal fluid is out of the question to obtain. Please consider nasal secretion as a good option for testing purposes because cells and microbes can be present in sinus cavities and are closest to the brain. Additionally, if you're experiencing a sinus infection, "allergies", continual nasal drainage, or showing signs of blood this maybe to your advantage when submitting a specimen.2. Stool Specimen: The entire intestinal system is approximately 26 feet long; therefore, "something" is bound to be found in a stool sample. The brain and colon have the same grey matter and enzymes present which is why the gut is called the "second brain". It is likely that if there is irritation going on in this region of the body, it usually shows up in a person who may exhibit agitation physically or emotionally. One good example of this is teeth grinding as a sign associated with parasites that have attached themselves to the intestinal wall gnawing away at organic matter. A stool sample would be a good choice particularly if something is going on with the digestive tract or liver system.
3. Urine Specimen: If you're having urinary/kidney problems this would be a good one for obvious reasons noted in the question above. The urinary tract can carry pathogenic microbes or structures -- it is also close to the "second brain" with possible leakages of microbes. Whatever is trying to be eliminated will either leave via urine or stool.
4. Saliva Specimen: This is a good one if you experience throat irritation or dental problems. Saliva should be presented only if there are no problems associated with lungs.
5. Sputum Specimen: Sputum is a good specimen when you are experiencing lung/chest related problems, persistent cough or coughing up "stuff", or excess mucous. This can also be presented if you have dental issues.
6. Earwax Specimen: This should be presented only if you have ear-nose-throat problems, taken from each ear.
7. Vaginal/Semen Specimen: Fluids can be submitted if there is a problem related to the genitals (i.e., secretions, irritations, tumors, infertility issues, or an STD because there might be more than one present that may not necessarily show up on traditional tests).
8. Dermal Specimen: Skin scrapings if there is a notable dermatitis problem.
9. Hair Specimen: Hair loss problems that can't be explained. Hair loss can be associated with a microscopic parasite problem in or around the hair shaft and even the scalp, but this isn't always the case. An undetected hormonal issue or something else could be a cause for hair loss.
10. Fingernail/Toenail Specimen: Scraping and clippings are good when there are signs of irregular nail growths, deep cracks around the tips, or fungal related problems.
Q: What about blood is this a good choice?
A: Blood is a good option but there are known problems associated with submitting a sample. You can inquire about this and we'll be glad to give more details.
Q: I'm likely to have the same microorganism profile as anyone else, but in my case it could be just that I'm unlucky with worse symptoms than the next person.
A. Unfortunately, that's not "just" it. Many people have many microorganisms in common which is true, but not all interact the same with other structures as co-infecting organisms. Besides, despite what your doctors or textbooks will have you believe, we know for a fact that not all organisms harbor the same type of microorganisms in the same way. Have you looked at some of the Case Reports? To help you understand this better, there could be nematodes present, but in one case nematodes could carry more bacteria within or around them that interplay with fungi or other structures. Thus, this explains why each Case Report reveals that inter-playing co-factors within a person are showing up differently, causing ill-health. In understanding this principle, it could mean the difference between real healing or living with continued ill-health.
Q: How can these lab tests really make a difference for me?
A: We can appreciate your question especially when other lab tests have "proven" nothing. Simply, certain microbes shouldn't be inside your body regardless of whether or not they have anything to do with your current problem. If they are not supposed to be there, our question is, why are they present? We know many people who have an astounding array of symptoms (perhaps, you do too) -- how is it really possible that all of them are psychosomatic complaints from people who have been labeled "delusional"? Another question that should be asked is, why is it acceptable to have various parasitic organisms make a home for themselves as they gnaw away at body parts plus steal vital nutrients that you need -- could there possibly be a correlation to why you feel unwell?
Q: So when you talk about multi-test, do you mean 1 to 3 test on one sample?
A: No. Our Analysts will do whatever tests that are needed on one sample. The number of tests performed on a given sample are irrelevant when it comes to achieving results. We're actually referring to if you want to submit 1 sample or a different specimen taken from another part of your body.
Q: The 1AS and 2AS confuse me.A: 1AS means 1 Additional Sample with the MFS/Basic. 2AS refers to 2 Additional Samples with MFS/Basic which would be a total of 3 separate specimens.
Q: What's the difference between CIP and EOI? Is EOI a part of CIP?A: EOI (Extra Objective Interpretation) are Doc's extra comments on observations -- notations are more than what's on a basic Micrograph (picture) provided. You can go here to review a basic Micrograph to see what it looks like with brief notations.
CIP (Consultation on Infectious Pathogens) is considerably more indepth than EOI notations and comments, an added value of receiving his opinions and noted experiences in dealing with whatever has been observed. CIP may require a little bit more time for observations and those results might take a little longer than the alloted time specified for receiving results. If you reviewed Case Reports they are a good representation of CIP comments. There are additional comments that those individuals received that aren't published. Your report won't look like those Case Reports -- commentation and Micrographs come separately in a zip file for review.
Although ARO (Additional Research & Observations) wasn't mentioned, it is something that you might want to choose as an option. If you have a physician that is skeptical, ARO might be a wise choice to consider with a more clinical perspective. You'll be provided with scientific research (if available), medical abstracts and citations, along with Doc's professional experience for you and your practitioner to review. The research involved could possibly take a little longer (1-2 weeks more) to receive results.
Either of the three choices are good to have. Whatever you choose, comments will be sent to you in simplified terminology to help you understand what's going on inside of your body.
Q: And what's an ExM and why would you need one?A: ExM means Extra Micrograph (picture). Some people are more visual and would prefer to have the option of more Micrographs. Additionally, it helps to put some context to the Analyst's comments with seeing a picture.
Q: Seems to me that I need to have a test with some idea of what's going on, along with consultation. What's the advantage of getting an EOI and 1AS?A: The advantage of 1AS is that each sample tells another story of what is going on with your body -- this may give you added value. Let's say, for instance, you'd like to submit a stool sample but you also have problems with your nose. You have sinus irritation or drainage, this will help give you a "snapshot" of what's going on in that part of the body; it may also give us a clue if there a prevalance found else where. The findings could be fungal related, parasite larvae, or some other organism/structure involved. The extra sample helps add to a complete picture of what's going on with you.
Perhaps if you look at the below possibilities it will help you in making a decision. The choices involved are: MFS Basic; 1AS & 2AS (sample options); EOI; ExM (Extra Micrograph); and CIP (Consultation).
Specimen choices are set costs. For example, there are no differences between sputum, stool or whatever; the difference is only in how many tests you’d like performed (whether it is 1 or more tests).
Specimen Tests 4-5 tests
4-5 tests are available with additional savings. Use the 3 Tests below as a guide (2AS has an applied discount). On 4 tests add $375 to calculate the rate with applying an additional discount of $75 off (a total savings of $100). For 5 tests add $625 to calculate the rate; apply an additional $125 off (a total savings of $175). ExM are $45 each. 3 tests MFS Basic & 2AS option Total is $1200 3 tests MFS Basic & 2AS option, EOI for each Total is $1500 3 tests MFS Basic & 2AS option, EOI & ExM each Total is $1615 3 tests MFS Basic & 2AS option, CIP Total is $1500 2 tests MFS Basic & 1AS option Total is $900 2 tests MFS Basic & 1AS option, EOI for each Total is $1000 2 tests MFS Basic & 1AS option, EOI & ExM each Total is $1070 2 tests MFS Basic & 1AS option, CIP Total is $1200 1 test MFS Basic Total is $575 1 test MFS Basic, EOI Total is $675 1 test MFS Basic, EOI, ExM Total is $720 1 test MFS Basic, CIP Total is $875 The above examples are actual quotes, but you can "mix n' match" any of our options from the Consult page to suit your needs as a means to verify proof of possible illness-related microbes.
If plausible, the best option is having more than one test done (with the applied discounts), but do what you’re most comfortable with. If necessary, go with something within the budget range as a comprehensive starter to work with -- any of the last 2 in that category are good choices. Our Analysts can extract good information from a stool sample. The main thing is to have a starting point; you can take it from there for healing purposes. Whatever you decide, you won’t be disappointed!
