RedBamboo Medi Spa Now Offers DNA Testing and Genetic Counseling

Online, December 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Want to know whether you may be at risk for heart disease, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, breast cancer, or more than a dozen other diseases? The RedBamboo DNA Analysis Panel will tell you whether your risk of developing one of these 25 conditions is greater than, less than or similar to the general population. For each condition, the experts at RedBamboo explain what portion of the risk comes from genetic factors as opposed to environmental factors. You may not be able to control your genetic make-up, but you can make lifestyle choices that can benefit you.

For example, someone with the genetic marker for colon cancer may schedule a first colonoscopy at an earlier age and may get them more frequently. If you or your spouse has heart disease, you may want to schedule a DNA analysis for your children to see if they have a genetic predisposition, as well. That could lead them to eat differently, exercise differently, and schedule cholesterol screenings earlier. If you know that you may be more likely to develop a particular disease, like Multiple Sclerosis for example, you may choose to purchase disability insurance or avoid certain occupations.

RedBamboo Medi Spa co-founders Francis Toscano, M.D., and Laszlo Teleszky, M.D., are both Board Certified in Emergency Medicine and each has more than 25 years of experience working in emergency rooms. Their extensive medical training can help you understand how to take control of your health and manage your risk factors. And it's completely confidential. RedBamboo will not share the results of your DNA analysis without your express written consent.
