About Biophysical
"Biophysical250 goes deeper and further than any blood test has gone before - perfect for perennial hypochondriacs. Give up some of your blood (a juicy phial or two) and it will be whipped over to a hi-tech lab in America to be screened for 250 biomarkers (the particles that reflect your state of health). The test reveals where your entire system is right now, identifying invisible issues and predicting problems that may arise in the future. Our tester found she had ridiculously furry arteries (which, left unchecked, could lead to angina or a stroke). The in-house doctors at the Westover - Brompton Cross will prescribe a protocol (in this case, folic acid to rid the body of clogging particles). Biophysical250 costs £2,200 and is the new way of knowing your body's secrets ahead of schedule."
Tatler - March 2009
About Biophysical
"The biophysical CA is a blood test like the original Biophysical250, but only screens for the chemical changes in your blood that might indicate cancer. It includes biomarkers for colon, liver, lung, breast, ovarian, pancreatic and others, although some are only at research stage. The results aren't conclusive - this is more an addition to a screening, not instead of it."
