Cholesterol, Triglycerides, High-density lipoprotein (HDL), Low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
In addition to basic testing, for complete analysis.
Cholesterol Total: Total blood (or serum) cholesterol score. This component of your test results is actually a composite of different measurements. Your total blood cholesterol score is calculated by adding your HDL and LDL cholesterol levels, plus 20 percent of your triglyceride level.
Triglycerides: The most important part of this test. Measures the level of triglycerides in the blood. Normal triglyceride levels in the blood are less than 150 mg per deciliter (mg/dL). Triglyceride levels can be controlled to some extent by lifestyle modifications and, when necessary, medications.
High-density lipoprotein (HDL): HDL cholesterol is often called “good” cholesterol. The test for HDL cholesterol measures the amount of HDL-C in blood. Cholesterol is found in all the cells of the body and is instrumental in body functions, such as building cells and very importantly hormone production. HDL-C can be low in male subjects who are obese and sedentary, in those who smoke cigarettes, and in those who have diabetes mellitus. Uremia is also associated with lower HDL-C. Exercise, appropriate diet can increase HDL-C.
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL): This test measures the level of Low-Density Lipoprotein Particles (LDL-P) in a blood sample. LDL is also known as the “bad” cholesterol. Generally, higher LDL indicates a greater risk of heart disease, because, under certain conditions, it can cause hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
It’s misleading to call cholesterol an artery-clogging fat because cholesterol performs a lot of important functions. This waxy substance helps produce hormones, strengthen cell membranes and utilize vitamin D, and is a critical component of bile (produced in the liver) which is key to proper digestion. It also plays a role in cognitive function, helping to form memories. A lack of cholesterol decreases both brain and heart function. Most of the cholesterol in the bloodstream is, in fact, created by the body, not by diet.
Still, this doesn’t mean skipping fruit in favor of steak. To keep cholesterol levels under 200 milligrams per deciliter, or mg/dL, it’s essential to exercise, eat a balanced diet, maintain a healthy weight.

Dengue fever is an illness you can get from the bite of a mosquito carrying one of four types of Dengue. Dengue isn’t contagious from person to person except when passed from a pregnant person to their child. Symptoms are usually mild with first infection, but repeated infections with a different version of dengue, the risk of severe complications increases. Dengue fever symptoms start to appear four to 10 days after a mosquito bite and can last three to seven days. About 1 in 20 people sick with dengue will develop severe dengue after their initial symptoms begin to fade. Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen. Some people remain asymptomatic but can still carry the parasite.

Cholera is a severe infection of the small intestine by some strains of the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, transmitted through the ingestion of contaminated food or water. It takes between 12 hours and 5 days for a person to show symptoms. Cholera can cause very bad diarrhea and dehydration that can kill within hours if left untreated. Raw fish and foods area common source of this disease. Most of those infected have no or mild symptoms.

Chikungunya is a disease transmitted to humans by mosquitoes in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. You can’t get it from another person, but mosquitoes do get it from biting a person who is infected. Most people don’t die from it. Chikungunya fever typically lasts from five to seven days and frequently causes severe and often incapacitating joint pain which sometimes persists for much longer periods. There is no modern medicine treatment however traditional cures are abundant. Approximately 3%-28% of people infected with chikungunya virus will remain asymptomatic.

Avian influenza, also known as avian flu or bird flu, is a disease caused by the influenza A virus (IAV) which primarily affects birds but can sometimes affect mammals including humans. Rarely, humans can become infected by the avian flu if they are in close contact with infected birds. Influenza A virus, that has been modified with mRNA, can infect humans. Many people remain asymptomatic.

Naturally-occurring spike proteins are normally produced by the body. The artificial spike protein, as contained in CV-19 inoculations, is known to be highly toxic – generally affecting any weakened function in the body. Also consider combing with the D-Dimer blood clotting test.
