How would you like to see a new health care information system, working in conjunction with the present medical system, that would reduce disease levels and health care costs initially by over 40% and eventually likely near twice that?

Of course most of us would like such a program. Even though the changes sound to radical to be true, fortunately, it's for real. Such a system does indeed have a very sound basis in fact as spelled out in a book titled Vibrant Health Plus: The Real Medical Revolution and in the articles we will be discussing here. These revolutionary advances are possible through a completely new application of advanced technology. Many outstanding accomplishments have been attributed to the computer, but they will all pale in comparison to its beneficial effects on human health if this approach to information processing is allowed to develop.

We may well think that if such a system was in fact available then it would be presented to us through the medical industry" ?not from outside it. Unfortunately, this new proposed application of technology has been available but is continually being bypassed by the present medical system. We must keep in mind that not only does preventative medicine generate relatively limited income, but a full-blown preventative health care system as advocated here, would drastically cut into the huge present day profits of the medical establishment.

When you consider the possibility of such a system the most important question that come to mind is, on what possible basis could such a system be based? The answer to that question is through the use of clinical laboratory science and the latest in computer technology. But, why clinical laboratory science?

Regardless of how sophisticated a computer system design may be, if it is not based on good solid input data, the output will be very limited at best. In this case, the source of the data is not only rock solid, but in fact one of the system's strongest points. You couldn't have a better source of relevant data on which to build a successful health care information system.

Because CLS is a science based on the biochemical makeup of the human body, it provides an enormous source of vital data about the internal workings of the human organism. Furthermore this is a science that has proven itself to be extremely reliable under applications used within the present medical system. This same CLS would likely be used by your doctor if you had some questionable health problem that required a critical evaluation. For additional information about CLS, directly from the professionals, click on link at the end of this article marked page 18.

In the proposed application, CLS would be used in disease prevention and the promotion of wellness by basically using large test profiles of key blood tests selected by the experts in the CLS profession. As opposed to one or maybe several tests usually used in a disease evaluation, the proposed system would likely use 100 blood tests or more (from one blood sample) for extensive analysis in preventative medicine. The large set of tests would be called a profile and after being applied to the patient, or individual, the profile results would be referred to as a profile pattern. This profile would consist of carefully selected key testing elements of the human organism such as certain hormones, enzymes, proteins and many other vital tests.

As highly selected as each of these special 100 tests would be in their own right, on an individual test basis, the real strength of the profile comes when you observe the profile only as a whole. As an example the capacity of this profile far exceeds the 100 individual bits of data. In fact, that is where the great strength of this system lies. A 100 test profile pattern with five possible different test levels for each test, will yield 10 trillion possible combinations. This would be reading every possible combination available. So why is that so valuable? That is very significant indeed and will be discussed in more detail in the following article.

We may well think that if such a system was in fact available then it would be presented to us through the medical industry" ?not from outside it.
