Preventive Medicine - Testing & Programs
Preventive Medicine is a focus of Dr. Caradonna’s practice. Naturopathic medicine has many tools to help you avert chronic illness. In addition, several new screening tests can help identify increased disease risks and allow Dr. Caradonna to provide you with specific Naturopathic protocols along with well-known disease prevention strategies to help reduce your risk.

Gene Testing: By evaluating your DNA from cells swabbed from inside your mouth, a genetic profile assessment can identify your inherent risk levels for cardiovascular disease, breast and lung cancer, emphysema, bone fractures, macular degeneration, and even accelerated skin aging.

Breast Cancer: Another way to evaluate breast cancer risk is by a simple urine test. University of Rochester researchers discovered that a certain estrogen metabolite is cancer promoting, and another is cancer-protective. By measuring the ratio, risk levels can be identified. A special supplement containing compounds from the broccoli family can correct an imbalance.

Heart Attack: About 50% of all heart attacks are not predicted by standard cholesterol measurements. Specialized analysis of blood cholesterol can identify fractions of HDL and LDL, which more accurately predict either problems or protection than just measurement of overall HDL and LDL levels.
