My doctor told me that my
symptoms were "all in my head" and prescribed me
anti-depressant medication – but I knew there was something
drastically wrong and now I have the proof!
Introducing…
"The Incredibly Simple, Non-Invasive Test That
Measures Your Vital Health Statistics Like a Thermometer And
Provides Your Personal
Health Blueprint With Pinpoint
Accuracy"
- Are you like hundreds of
patients who go to the Doctor with a long list of symptoms and
leave feeling like you've not been heard?
- Have you been
patronised and dismissed by a Doctor who doesn't take your
symptoms seriously?
- Have you been told
"it's all in your head", "you just need to eat
less and exercise more", "there is nothing wrong with
you, your blood tests are fine", or even worse
"you are a neurotic middle-aged woman who just needs
to get a life?"
Dear Health
Warrior,
I've heard
these stories and more from patient after patient who is
frustrated and angry with not being able to find answers to their
health problems.
They have searched, they have tried different treatments, they
have seen the specialists, they had all the standard tests, and
they have come up empty handed. These people are fed up with not
being able to get the help they need and being treated like a
number who cannot interpret their own body's language.
Now, imagine that there was an affordable test available that
anyone, anywhere, in any corner of the developed world had easy
access to. A test that your Doctor has probably never even heard
about - and even if he did know he wouldn’t tell you
because he would instantly lose your business -once you had
this knowledge in your own hands, you would probably never have
to visit him again.
Imagine if this test was one that was simple, non-invasive, and
affordable; one that you could do in as little as 4 x 5 minutes
throughout the day in the comfort and privacy of your own
home.
A test that with the latest technological analysis that science
has to offer, could provide you with incredible accuracy, your
very own personalised blueprint of the status of your health.
Imagine a test that could evaluate your available energy,
metabolism, thyroid, cancer risks, liver, digestive system,
libido, mood, weight problems, menopausal symptoms and could even
give you information on how to prevent problems before they
occur.
That sounds like something too good to be true doesn’t it?
Something you might wish your Doctor had told you about?
Well I'm about to tell you that there IS such a
test.
But Let’s Back Up A Bit
First...
Many women (and
men) today are suffering.
And their Doctor is not able to tell them why.
I hear from so many people that they are just exhausted, there
isn't much joy in life anymore, they are feeling more
irritable and more depressed than they ever have been.
The weight just keeps piling on and no diet seems to make a
difference, they are looking older, their skin doesn't have a
glow anymore, their hair is thinning and falling out, and as for
sex, who could be bothered?
Well Let Me Tell You,
It Doesn't Have To Be This Way!
Not only are many
people suffering from below average health, there is also an army
of what are called “the worried well”, a large
portion of the population that are not suffering now, but live in
fear of what might be on the way.
Most of us know someone that seemed quite healthy on the outside,
but the next thing you know they are struck down with cancer, or
they have a heart attack out of the blue. Or there is a disease
in the family that many have seen their loved ones suffer with,
and they would do ANYTHING to avoid going down that same
path.
What if I reminded
you that knowledge is power, and the more information you have,
the more that you can do to protect your most precious asset
– your health?
So now back to this test… Am I talking about some
new-fangled, space age, never been proven, leave your brain at
the door type of gimmicky test?
No, Absolutely Not!
This type of
testing has been around for more than 20 years, it is based on
leading edge science, and was approved by the World Health
Organisation in the 1990’s, calling it
“accurate, convenient and non-invasive”. If
your Doctor bothered to look, he would also find that there are
more than 2500 scientific papers noting this type of
testing.
I am talking about
nothing other than… Saliva Hormone
Testing.
This simple test
means that from a sample of your saliva, a precise measurement
can be taken of your biologically active hormones, and with an
expert interpretation of the results, you can have in your hands
one of the most powerful pieces of information you may have ever
had on your health.
Saliva is considered to be equivalent to “tissue” in
your body, and by spitting into special collection tubes supplied
by the laboratory, four times during the day and evening, we have
an easy way to measure the effect your hormones are having on
your body.
Why Are Hormones So Important, You Might
Ask?
Hormones are
chemical substances produced by our body that are absolutely
vital to our good health, and their importance is often
overlooked by the medical profession. Without balanced hormones,
nothing feels like it is working right.
Hormones are released by glands within our body, and are
“chemical messengers” that travel through our
bloodstream and regulate many of our day to day functions. Areas
such as our physical development, fertility, libido, metabolism,
stress responses, immunity, aging and sleep are all governed by
our hormones.
Through many factors found in today’s lifestyle such as
chemical pollutants, processed food, increasing stress and the
reliance on pharmaceutical medications, we often find that our
hormones are not working in the way that they should, and our
quality of health declines as a result.
Because our hormones play such a large role in our well-being,
any chronic illness or poor level of health may have an hormonal
imbalance as a factor. Saliva hormone testing can pick up the
underlying hormonal imbalances in many regular disorders. Some
common findings might be:
- Pre-menstrual tension
–High Oestrogen, Low Progesterone, Low Cortisol
- Irregular or heavy
menstrual cycles –High Oestrogen, Low Progesterone, High
Testosterone
- Infertility –Low
Progesterone, High or Low Cortisol, Thyroid
indications
- Fibrocystic breast
disease –High Oestrogen, Thyroid
indications
- Uterine Fibroids – High
Oestrogen, Thryoid indications
- Weight gain –High
Oestrogen, Thyroid indications, Liver indications, Bowel
indications, Insulin resistance
- Depression –Low Cortisol,
Low Progesterone, Thyroid indications, Low
Testosterone
- Anxiety –High
Cortisol, Low DHEA
- Fatigue –Low Cortisol,
Thyroid indications, Liver indications
- Hot flushes –Low
Oestrogen or Low Progesterone, Low DHEA
- Family history of breast cancer
–Imbalanced Oestrogen ratios, Low Progesterone
- Prostate disease risk
–High Oestrogen, Low Testosterone
- Andropause and Aging –Low
Testosterone, Low DHEA
More Accurate Than Blood
Testing?
Many Doctor’s
and Naturopath’s find Saliva Hormone Testing more accurate
than blood testing for very simple reasons. Hormones in saliva
are called free or “active” hormones and this is a
measurement of the levels of hormones that your body is actually
using.
Blood tests however, measure both active and inactive hormone all
lumped in together, which can give you a VERY different
reading when it comes to the effect hormones are having in
your body.
Another reason Saliva Tests are preferred is because of the way
you can test them multiple times throughout the day to cover
normal daily variations. Cortisol, one of your adrenal hormones
that helps you to cope with stress, has a daily pattern where it
is highest of a morning, and gradually declines during the day
until it is almost gone by night time. When we do a saliva test
for cortisol levels, we test it four times during the day and
night to establish what type of pattern your cortisol is
making.
Can you imagine subjecting yourself to four blood tests during
the one day to accurately measure your vitally important Cortisol
levels?
Here is a graph of a saliva test of a patient with a normal
cortisol level, compared with a test of a patient with chronic
fatigue:

Here is the saliva test result
of that patient suffering from chronic fatigue:

See how the level is very low in
the morning and drops even further by lunch time? This is such an
important hormone to know about, but most Doctor's would
never even think to order such a comprehensive test.
Are You Stressing Out Yet?
Because cortisol is
a stress hormone, and many people find blood tests a very
stressful event, blood tests for this hormone can show a very
inaccurate reading as levels can rise due purely to the anxiety
of having blood taken!
Even when we are in a fatigued or exhausted state we may have
enough cortisol to react to a stressful event, but not enough to
feel energetic on a normal daily basis. We can measure
these differences perfectly with saliva testing.
Another area where saliva tests win hands down over blood tests,
is in the testing of Oestrogen levels. Oestrogen is a very
important hormone and it can be both protective and healthy, or
cancer causing and dangerous. It is the type of oestrogen
that is important here, and with saliva testing, we look at three
different types of oestrogen and evaluate not just their
individual levels, but the ratios of one to the other which can
mean the difference between health or hazard.
Has your Doctor ever suggested testing for ALL the different
types of Oestrogen to see if you are at risk? No? I didn’t
think so.
More Case Studies From People Like
You
Oestrone is one
type of oestrogen that has been linked with fibrocystic breasts,
uterine fibroids, endometrial growth, cancerous tumours and in
men, prostate cancer. It is one hormone that you DON'T want
to have too much of.
Here is a test result showing all three types of oestrogen and a
high oestrone reading.

Have you gained weight mainly
around the middle section? Do you have unsightly rolls of excess
weight under your bra strap, or if you are a man do you have a
large "beer belly"? This can often be a sign of
Oestrogen dominance (read my article on Oestrogen dominance in
the Feb08 issue of my free monthly newsletter here), and it can be a
danger sign for cancer. Why not heed the warning and find out
what your oestrogen levels are?
Progesterone is another important hormone that we test for and is
the hormone that falls drastically after menopause, much more
than Oestrogen does. That is because Progesterone is our
fertility hormone, during the first half of our menstrual cycle,
days 1 to 14 we have Oestrogen at it’s highest level
building the lining of the uterus. Then we produce an egg during
ovulation, and the follicle the egg bursts out of produces the
hormone Progesterone to create an environment where a fertilised
egg can be nourished. If we do not fall pregnant however,
Progesterone levels drop and a menstrual period is initiated. In
menopause of course, we stop ovulating and therefore stop
producing Progesterone.
In a healthy state we are meant to produce some Progesterone from
our adrenal glands, but if they are exhausted, then we are likely
to produce very little. And what woman, by menopause, is not
exhausted? After career, marriage, children, family, finances,
house etc. most women have very little energy left at this time
of their lives.
Progesterone is one of our anti-aging hormones, it can protect
against oesteoporosis, prevent cardiovascular problems, increase
energy and well-being and reverse menopausal symptoms such as hot
flushing and those mood swings that make you feel like
you’re going crazy. If you find out through saliva hormone
testing that you are too low in Progesterone, then it is simple
to replace with a Bio-identical cream – you don’t
have to just "live with it"!
As well as the hormones we’ve already discussed, in a
comprehensive saliva hormone test, we also look at DHEA, another
primary anti-aging hormone, and Testosterone (Ladies, is that
dark hair on your upper lip getting more noticeable? Men, is your
libido less than it used to be?).
Testimonials From Some VERY Satisfied

Genuine Comments:
"When I turned 60
I did a full health assessment with my Doctor to make sure that I
was doing everything possible to prevent the breast cancer that
tragically claimed my mother and my sister. When I asked the
Doctor about my hormone levels and if they needed to be checked
he did some basic blood tests and said that everything was
fine.
I wasn't content to leave it there and decided to search for
alternative methods of detecting imbalances before they became
serious – I knew that Doctor's only jumped to attention
when a health problem became obvious, but I wanted to PREVENT a
problem and optimise my health, not wait for a tumour to grow
before I did anything about it. When I met Leisa and found out
about saliva hormone testing, I was thrilled that this simple
method of diagnosis might be able to pinpoint hormonal problems
BEFORE they became dangerous.
I did the tests and they showed that my "bad" oestrogen
was too high and my "good" oestrogen was too low -and
high levels of "bad" oestrogen may be implicated in
breast cancer! All I had to do was take a common nutritional
supplement to help my body change the bad oestrogen into
good.
What I loved was how this whole process was explained in
Leisa's report, it was so clear to understand and it put me
back in charge of my own health. From her analysis of the
results, Leisa also suggested further blood tests to check for
nutrient deficiencies, and sure enough I was so low in a certain
vitamin that is well known as a cancer preventative, that it was
off the chart!
I have so much more peace of mind knowing that I have found some
answers to the questions that I had about whether there were
alternative ways of detecting problems before they became
diseases.
I am so thankful that we found out about the high oestrone levels
now, so that I can do what I can to try and prevent cancer and
live a long happy life with the very best of
health!" J.L.
************
"I can't thank
you enough Leisa for your advice and help. It would be so amazing
for me to get my health in top top shape again. Getting to the
cause of it all is a breath of fresh air. It is such a relief,
and I feel very confident now I am on the road to recovery. Thank
you so much for your time and expertise. I can’t tell you
how much I appreciate your immense
kindness." A.N.
************
"I had some very
positive experiences at Hippocrates, but meeting you and taking
your advice on the Saliva Hormone Tests has certainly been the
most beneficial. When I received your report explaining the
results in such a VERY understandable language for each hormone,
I was thrilled. Nobody has ever explained tests like this before,
and what I could take to improve my health." Many
thanks, S.B.
************
"I received your
report on Wednesday and have finally sat and read it and then
re-read it again and again! I am shocked but not, I knew I was
not good but always thought it was in my head?? However I am so
grateful to you that I can actually undertand what is going on
now with me.
To tell you the truth Leisa I though I was a complete nut case
all these years, I thought I was just getting worse and that
there was absolutely nothing I could do about the problems I am
having and feeling.
Over the years I have
read numerous books on hormones, but could never understand the
complete picture properly or find anyone who could simply explain
it to me as you have just done. I am sitting here sobbing my
heart out with absolute relief that I am not a nut case and that
just one day maybe I will feel as I am supposed to feel and
be.
Thank you Leisa for giving me renewed hope."
C.S
************
"I just wanted to
give you an update on my health given that you were instrumental
in getting me started on a "new path to recovery".
In short I am feeling much, much better.
My period is still about 7-9 days but I only have one heavy day
which is such a change from the horrendous regime I was
experiencing before. So, thanks again for your
help."

Ok, now that you
know this type of test is available, and we’ve touched on a
just a small part of the enormous amount of information it can
give you about your health, the next thing is how you go about
ordering it for yourself, so you too, can benefit from the
quality data it provides.
Order This From Your
Doctor?
One very important
thing you need to be aware of is that although your local Doctor
or Naturopath can probably order this test for you – they
are not likely to be able to interpret the results for you
properly. You may end up with a pretty coloured report in your
hand, with numbers on it that mean nothing to you, and probably
mean next to nothing to your Doctor either.
Here is an example
of the saliva test report you might be getting:

It’s not
enough to just have access to information -you need to know what
that information means. Without the right analysis, your report
could be a total waste of time, effort and money.
But, There Is A Better Way!
I have analysed
hundreds of these reports for patients personally, and I have
studied hormonal health vigorously, reading hundreds of books,
attending intensive hormone related seminars such as the
International Hormone Conference in 2006, and studying the
relationship between imbalanced hormone levels and all the
different health disorders that can come from that.
Not only that, as a Naturopath at one of Australia's leading
health retreats, I can guide you through the many options
available to people to balance their hormones naturally. And if
you need extra help, I can direct you towards Doctors that
specialise in bio-identical hormone replacement which offers a
safer alternative to pharmaceutical HRT. By now you must be
wondering...
How Do I Do This?
I have a special
offer for readers of this site. If you have your complete hormone
profile tested with saliva hormone testing, I will personally
analyse your results and provide you with a comprehensive 15-20
page report explaining your individual results, what they mean
for your health, and suggestions about how to recover your health
through balancing your hormones.
I will also suggest further testing if I feel it is appropriate,
and provide you with everything that you need to know, to take
control of your own health.
An example of the
report you might be getting from me:

You Will Simply Not Find This Type
Of Personalised Service Anywhere Else!
Your Doctor
certainly won’t put the time and energy into educating you
about your health, your Naturopath probably hasn’t
specialised in hormones, and if you do find someone knowledgeable
about these tests, they are probably booked up way in advance,
cost hundreds of dollars to see, and don’t have the time to
answer all your questions.
My report takes you step by step through your results. It is laid
out in an easy to understand, straightforward way that answers
your questions as we go. It helps you to recognise why you feel
the way you do, and what simple steps you can take to improve
your health.
If you are finally ready to get some REAL answers, then here is
what you do. When you click on the order button below, you will
be taken to a page where you enter your details to order your
Saliva Hormone Test Kit which includes my Comprehensive Analysis
of your results. You will also be asked to fill in a short
questionnaire which will give me more information about your
health concerns.
I’ve made it easy for you, all you need to do is make one
simple payment and I will organise the rest from there. Most of
the fee goes towards the tests themselves and we can therefore
not offer any money back guarantee. However, if you are
unsatisfied with the information you receive, and you can prove
you have done everything in your power to improve, I will offer
you a free consultation for up to 30 minutes.
The tests are run at ARL Pathology in Melbourne and the cost of
the full saliva profile alone is just
$210 incl postage, without my personalised report. Once you
finish ordering the tests online, within a couple of days you
will receive the test kit at your home address. Full instructions
on how to do the test can be downloaded from the thank-you page
once you have gone through the order process.
Once you have completed the samples, they are sent back to ARL in
the envelope that is provided, and it takes about two to three
weeks for them to process your tests. Then I receive your results
and depending on the volume of tests I have to analyse, you will
receive your full PDF report within one to two weeks after that.
So the full process is most likely to take 3-6 weeks.
It’s That Easy To Get The Most In
Depth,
Personalised Report On Your Health That You Have Ever
Had!
Now that you know
exactly how to obtain this essential information, the rest is
entirely up to you. You basically have 3 choices:
- You could do nothing right now,
but at least you have the knowledge that this type of testing is
available and if you do get sick, you can then kick yourself for
not doing something that could have prevented your illness. Or
maybe you could keep doing the rounds of Doctors, specialists,
endocrinologists and naturopath's – spending thousands
of dollars and having test after useless test that gets you
nowhere. Or maybe…
- You can go to your local Doctor
and get them to order the saliva test kit for you and you will
get a report, but you won’t know what to do with it.
If you choose any of
those options, let’s at least part as friends and let me
give you some free health information that will keep us in
touch, and you can still benefit from my health tips and
principles. Or,
- You can click on the order
button below and do what it takes to look after number one, and
receive your own personalised, individual report that could have
far reaching implications for your health for the rest of you
life. So now my question to you is....
Which Is It To Be?
Important
Note: For international visitors (outside Australia),
you can still have your own saliva hormone tests (as produced by
your overseas labs) analysed by me. Just click below to fill in
the questionnaire and from there you will be guided to a webpage
with downloadable instructions about emailing your test
results through and receiving your own individualised report
on those results.
I now invite you
to order with confidence here
