Drug companies surely know to cash-in on the vulnerabilities of people. People want to live longer and live healthy and most of us would be willing to try anything that promise a healthy long life including tests that could help detect if we are at risk of deadly diseases such as cancer and heart attack even if it costs a bomb!
The Brompton Cross Clinic in South Kensington, West London, is the first to offer the test called Biophysical.The idea is to know the disasters you are prone to and take preventive measures before they strike you. Basically, they draw about two tablespoons of blood and send it to Texas to scan about 250 proteins known as biomarkers to detect for signs of heart disease, cancer, arthritis and a host of other diseases. Once the risks are detected, an action plan is drawn up and you can modify your lifestyle changes accordingly.
Think about this, there are diseases like cancer or arthritis that could be hereditary and you can do nothing about it or maybe do something about it since you are already aware of you risks and there are diseases that you could prevent by making the right lifestyle changes and you really don’t need a £2,220 test to say that.
Coming to the pricing factor, you just can’t be selfish enough to take the test alone and if your entire family is taking the test, you are left with a big financial drain and this stress alone is enough to put you in higher risk of deadly diseases! Now, doesn’t this leave you wondering if really need such tests?
