The analysis recommends that you take the following actions for each of the diseases noted below.

Section I: Your Health Analysis Indications

Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia.

There are no indications from the information you submitted that you have Alzheimer's disease or Dementia.

Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis

The major risks for Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis are high blood pressure, inherited tendencies, abnormal lipids, diabetes and smoking.

Analysis of the information provided by you indicates that you are already being treated for Heart Disease.

We therefore recommend that you continue with the treatments prescribed by your doctor. We do not want to interfere with ongoing treatments.

You may however want to review our Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis Informational Booklet: My Affair with My Heart.

Stroke

Strokes and heart disease are generally associated with Atherosclerosis, i.e. the build-up of plaques in the arteries. Strokes can be caused by a clot obstructing the flow of blood to the brain or by a blood vessel rupturing and preventing blood flow to the brain.

Atherosclerosis caused by plaque buildup in the arteries and hardening of the arteries leading to the brain, will generally occur for all of us if we live long enough. 70% of stroke survivors will have some type of disability.

The risk factors for having a stroke include advancing age, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking. Stroke is the nation's third leading cause of death, behind diseases of the heart and cancer.

Your answers to the questionnaire indicate that there is some concern that you could develop risks for having a stroke as you grow older.

We therefore recommend that you review and discuss with your doctor the recommendations in the Treatments Section below.

Cancer

Different cancers have different risk factors. Exposing your skin to strong sunlight is a risk factor for skin cancer. Smoking is a risk factor for cancers of the lung, mouth, larynx (voice box), bladder, kidney, and several other organs. Age, race, your genetics, your environment, your drinking and eating habits and your lifestyle can all present risk factors for one or more of the various types of cancers.

Analysis of the information provided by you indicates that you already have a history with cancer and are being treated for your cancer.

We therefore recommend that you continue with the treatments prescribed by your doctor. We do not want to interfere with ongoing treatments.

Weight

Being overweight and especially being obese can result in major health risks. 67% of adults in the US fall into this category.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a standard measurement used to calculate your risk for weight related health issues. Your BMI calculation is 703 times your body weight in pounds divided by the square of your height in inches. The BMI categories are:
Underweight = BMI < 18.5
Normal weight = BMI of 18.0 to 24.9
Overweight = BMI of 25 to 29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

You have no weight issue.

Your BMI of 21 places you in the normal weight category.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a set of related diseases in which the body cannot regulate the amount of sugar, i.e. glucose in the blood. Glucose is the primary fuel used by most cells in the body to generate the energy that is needed to carry out cellular functions.

Analysis of the information provided by you indicates that you are at risk for diabetes. The information provided also shows that you may have inherited a tendency for diabetes from your parents.

We therefore recommend that you immediately review and begin the treatments described in the Treatments Section below.

Arthritis

There are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis. Osteoarthritis Arthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is the second most common form of arthritis.

Analysis of the information provided by you does not show any indications that you are at risk for Arthritis.

However, most of us will get some level of arthritis as we age. You may therefore want to review a summary of possible treatments in our eBook: Walk Young.

Skin Care

We normally judge someone's age by his or her looks, and it’s usually a pretty good indicator. The easiest things to see are weight, fat and skin texture. Then we notice agility and flexibility.

But our skin frequently presents the most visible signs of aging.

Analysis of the information provided by you does not show any indications of skin problems.

However we will all develop skin problems as we age. We therefore recommend that you review and consider initiating the treatments described in the Treatments Section below.

Section II: Your Recommended Health Treatments

You should discuss the following recommended treatments with your doctor or specialist. He/she can evaluate the recommendations and advise you if you should begin the treatments. He/she can then provide prescriptions for the needed medications for the treatments that he/she advises you to begin.

Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia - Treatment

You should discuss the following recommended treatments with [print doctor or specialist’s named in Section I, if no name, type the words your doctor]. He/she can evaluate the recommendations and advise you if you should begin the treatments. He/she can then provide prescriptions for the needed medications for the treatments that he/she advises you to begin.

The analysis recommends that you take the following actions for each of the diseases noted below.

Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia
Analysis of the information provided by you shows no indications you have or are developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

However, we all begin to develop dementia and maybe even Alzheimer’s disease as we grow older. You may therefore want to review our Alzheimer’s Informational Booklet as listed in Section III below:

Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis - Treatment

The major risks for Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis are high blood pressure, inherited tendencies, abnormal lipids, diabetes and smoking.

Analysis of the information provided by you indicates that you are already being treated for Heart Disease.

We therefore recommend that you continue with the treatments prescribed by your doctor. We do not want to interfere in ongoing medical treatments.

 

Stroke - Treatment

Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease. It affects the arteries leading to and within the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood (oxygen and nutrients) it needs, so it starts to die.

Analysis of the information provided by you indicates that you may need to start monitoring for developing stroke risks and consider starting the prevention and/or disease delaying treatments.

Stroke is the nation's third leading cause of death behind diseases of the heart and cancer.

The risks of having a stroke are similar to the risks for heart attacks and increase rapidly as we age. Overall, the most common risk factors for stroke are:

• high blood pressure,
• high cholesterol,
• high C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
• smoking,
• diabetes and
• increasing age.

It is advised that do the following:

• Review the summary information provided in the Stroke Booklet presented in Section III below.
• Monitor and keep your blood pressure under control. A blood pressure reading below 120/80 is usually considered normal. Very low blood pressure (lower than 90/60) can sometimes be a cause of concern and should be checked out by your doctor. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a blood pressure reading of 140/90 or higher. A blood pressure reading of 120/80 to 139/89 is considered pre-hypertension. This means that you don't have high blood pressure now but are likely to develop it in the future.
• Monitor your cholesterol and triglyceride levels and keep them under control. High blood cholesterol can clog your arteries and keep your heart from getting the blood it needs. This can cause a heart attack. Triglycerides are a form of fat in your blood stream. High levels of triglycerides are linked to heart disease in some people. People with high blood cholesterol or high blood triglycerides often have no symptoms, so have both levels checked regularly. Your cholesterol and triglyceride should be maintained within the following levels:
• LDL (bad) cholesterol - Lower is better. Less than 100 mg/dL is best.
• HDL (good) cholesterol - Higher is better. More than 60 mg/dL is best.
• Triglyceride levels - Lower is better. Less than 150mg/dL is best.
• Take the blood tests discussed above or see your doctor to see if you should be taking medications for cholesterol and triglyceride control.
• Don't smoke. If you smoke, quit. If you're having trouble quitting, there are products and programs that can help:
• Nicotine patches and gums
• Support groups
• Programs to help you stop smoking
• If you drink alcohol, limit it to no more than one drink (one 12 ounce beer, one 5 ounce glass of wine, or one 1.5 ounce shot of hard liquor) a day.
• Begin a regimen of taking supplements to minimize stroke risks. It is always best for you to get nutrients by eating a variety of foods, rather than by taking supplements. But if you find it too hard to stay on the healthy diet described in our eBook Taste Sensations , supplements can be helpful. This is especially true for omega-3 fatty acid supplements and it is also generally true for coenzyme Q-10. You should start these two supplements as is summarized in the Overall Health Assessment Section below. It is noted that you should not take vitamin E or beta carotene if you are taking treatments for heart problems.
• Get tested for diabetes. People with diabetes have high blood glucose (blood sugar) and typically do not initially show symptoms. Have your blood glucose checked regularly. Having diabetes raises your chances of getting a stroke and heart disease. If you have diabetes, your doctor will decide if you need diabetes pills or insulin shots. Your doctor can also help you make a healthy eating and exercise plan.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight raises your risk for heart disease. Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) to see if you are at a healthy weight. The calculation is 704 times your body weight in pounds divided by the square of your height in inches. The BMI categories are:
• Underweight = BMI < 18.5
• Normal weight = BMI of 18.0 to 24.9
• Overweight = BMI of 25 to 29.9
• Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
• Follow a Healthy Diet as described in our eBook: Taste Sensations which includes cutting down on salt and sodium and eating healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products.
• Find healthy ways to cope with stress. Lower your stress level by talking to your friends, exercising, or writing in a journal. Review our Controlling Stress Booklet which is now in production: Be Happy.
• Exercise to get at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate physical activity or 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous activity each week. Review our Exercise Booklet when it becomes available: Maybe Even Abs
• See your doctor and discuss with him the possible need to get an EKG and a non-invasive 64 slice CT and other tests that he may prescribe to determine your risks for stroke. A significant additional advantage of these tests is that they establishment a baseline for future evaluations and treatments.
• Begin tests and medications if and when prescribed by your doctor. Several medications are available for controlling cholesterol and blood pressure which if not controlled can increase stroke risks. Glucose levels can also be controlled with medications.
• Continue monitoring the status of your potential for the disease as prescribed by your doctor. Update Your Personal Health Profile (This Report) every 6 months or so.
• Review the summary of your health and needed actions in the Overall Health Assessment Section below.

Cancer - Treatment

Different cancers have different risk factors. Exposing your skin to strong sunlight is a risk factor for skin cancer. Smoking is a risk factor for cancers of the lung, mouth, larynx (voice box), bladder, kidney, and several other organs. Age, race, your genetics, your environment, your drinking and eating habits and your lifestyle can all present risk factors for one or more of the various types of cancers.

Analysis of the information provided by you indicates that you already have a history with cancer and are being treated for your cancer.

We therefore recommend that you continue with the treatments prescribed by your doctor. We do not want to interfere with ongoing treatments.

 

Weight - Treatment

Your BMI places you in the normal weight category. You therefore have no weight issue.

Diabetes - Treatment

Diabetes is a set of related diseases in which the body cannot regulate the amount of sugar, i.e. glucose in the blood. Glucose is the primary fuel used by most cells in the body to generate the energy that is needed to carry out cellular functions.

There are several types of diabetes but the most common can be grouped into two types. People with type I diabetes do not produce enough insulin. People with type II, diabetes cannot use insulin properly. Some people with some of the several forms of diabetes experience both conditions.

At least 90% of patients with diabetes have type II diabetes. Type II diabetes is typically recognized in adulthood, usually after age 45. It used to be called adult-onset diabetes mellitus, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. These names are no longer used because type 2 diabetes does occur in younger people, and some people with type 2 diabetes need to use insulin.

However Type 2 diabetes can usually be controlled with diet, weight loss, exercise, and oral medications. Most people do not comply with such controls and more than half of all people with type 2 diabetes eventually require insulin to control their blood sugar levels at some point in the course of their illness.

About 6.2% of adults in North America are believed to have diabetes. About one third of diabetic adults do not know they have diabetes.

About 1 million new cases occur each year, and diabetes is the direct or indirect cause of at least 200,000 deaths each year. The incidence of diabetes is increasing rapidly. This increase is due to many factors, but the most significant are the increasing incidence of obesity and the prevalence of sedentary lifestyles.

Over a long period of time, pre-diabetic and diabetic problems damage the retina of the eye, the kidneys, the nerves, and the blood vessels.

Damage to the retina from diabetes (diabetic retinopathy) is a leading cause of blindness.

Damage to the kidneys from diabetes (diabetic nephropathy) is a leading cause of kidney failure.

Damage to the nerves from diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) is a leading cause of foot wounds and ulcers, which frequently lead to foot and leg amputations.

Damage to the nerves in the autonomic nervous system can lead to paralysis of the stomach (gastro paresis), chronic diarrhea, and an inability to control heart rate and blood pressure during postural changes.

Diabetes accelerates atherosclerosis, (the formation of fatty plaques inside the arteries), which can lead to blockages or a clot (thrombus). Such changes can then lead to heart attack, stroke, and decreased circulation in the arms and legs (peripheral vascular disease).

Diabetes predisposes people to high blood pressure and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These conditions independently and together with hyperglycemia increase the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, and other blood vessel complications.

In the short run, diabetes can contribute to a number of acute medical problems. Many infections are associated with diabetes, and infections are frequently more dangerous in someone with diabetes because the body's normal ability to fight infections is impaired. To compound the problem, infections may worsen glucose control, which further delays recovery from infection.

Risk factors for developing Type 2 diabetes include:

1. Overweight or obesity, i.e. having a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or more
2. Heredity, i.e. having a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes
3. Ethnicity, i.e. being of African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Pacific Islander or Latino American descent
4. Low birth weight generally associated fetal malnourishment
5. Gestational diabetes
6. A history of gestational diabetes, or having at least one baby weighing more than 9 pounds at birth
7. High blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg or higher
8. Poor cholesterol profile with HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol) levels of 35 or lower and/or triglyceride levels of 250 or higher
9. Inactivity, i.e. living a sedentary lifestyle including exercising less than three times a week
10. Being an older adult. Approximately 18.4% of Americans over age 65 have type 2 diabetes
11. Having been diagnosed for pre-diabetes

Analysis of the information provided by you indicates that you are most likely in a Pre-Diabetic state. The information provided also shows that you may have inherited a tendency for diabetes from your parents.

It is therefore recommended that you begin the following Diabetic Type II Control Program.

The first step for you is to get the blood test needed for a more definitive analysis. Your doctor can prescribe such a test or you can get a prescription from us. Click here to get more information on the test you need.

Edit answers to your Questionnaire and input the results of your blood tests to get the more definitive analysis. You can edit by going to the site provided in the email you received when you started the Questionnaire. We will do it for you if you order the blood tests through us.

We can give you better advice if you get the blood test. If you choose not to get the blood test, it is advised that you consider doing the following:

• Obtain a glucose test meter and monitor your fasting and after meal glucose periodically. Click here to order your free meter and enough supplies to get started. Your doctor will then provide a prescription for additional supplies as you need them.
• Follow a Healthy Diet to get and keep your weight at the proper level to minimize your susceptibility to diabetes. This means eating less calories than you burn until you have achieved the proper weight and then eating no more calories than you burn in your daily activities. It includes cutting down on salt and sodium and eating healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. No one wants to diet; besides they rarely work over the long haul. But you may be able to stick to our easier, more enjoyable and effective diet as described in our eBook:
• When you drink alcohol, limit it to no more than one drink (one 12 ounce beer, one 5 ounce glass of wine, or one 1.5 ounce shot of hard liquor) a day.
• Exercise to get at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate physical activity or 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous activity each week. This is usually hard to maintain. Try the program which may make it easier. See our eBook:
• Control Diabetes type II with the program outlined in our eBook:

• Get plenty of sleep. Too little sleep causes the hormone ghrelin to increase and ghrelin makes us hungry. Too little sleep also causes the hormone leptin to decrease and too little leptin makes us hungry. People getting an average of 5 hours of sleep per night are usually fatter than people getting an average of 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night.
• Genes. There’s not yet much we can do about our genes, but some of us do inherit a genetic tendency to be fatter. When we have that genetic tendency, we just have to do more of all the above.

Arthritis - Treatment

There are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis. Osteoarthritis Arthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is the second most common form of arthritis.
