Dr. Schroter can now order blood chemistry panels for his patients through association with Principal Labs, who uses LabCorp for their draw sights. Very exciting! For those who have current labs, Dr. Schroter can do a functional analysis of the report and may then recommend additional labs if necessary.
As a result, the patient is fully informed as to what their metabolic profile looks like and what their appropriate concerns should be. After evaluating lab results, Dr. Schroter encourages his patients to allow him to create a Comprehensive Health Plan specifically for them. This is designed to include nutritional intervention, dietary, and lifestyle changes.
Medical doctors will typically only alert patients when lab values have entered the pathological range and treatment at that point is usually with prescription medications. These physicians however, typically are being responsible to their professional calling, which is to treat and manage disease. The flaw is not with these usually very competent physicians, it is with the system that we call "healthcare".
If insurance companies do not cover prevention, and only cover costs and issues that relate to disease and pathology, it can safely be said that our current model is disease-care rather than healthcare. Only those who practice preventative medicine can truly be considered healthcare providers. At Schroter Chiropractic Center, we are proud to be called preventive healthcare providers!
Below is a recent letter Dr. Schroter has created to educate his patients regarding the benefits of Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis and it's comparison to the current health care model. It's contents are provocative to read and should be carefully considered:
