The maintenance of good health

With our genetic testing method, we are committed to the maintenance of good health.

The philosophy behind this is comparable to the traditional Chinese philosophy. Even now in modern China, a patient will pay his doctor only as long as he remains healthy. In our Western system, it is exactly the reverse. We pay for diseases, not for health. We only go to the doctor when we are sick. In the West, everything revolves around disease, so that instead of a health service we have an illness service. Conventional medicine is designed for the treatment of disease and not for the maintenance of health. Medical students are also taught this approach: first comes the diagnosis, then the therapy and the healing. At best, they are taught to look for early symptoms. But even this is only about detecting a disease when it is already present. Because even if it is detected early, it is already there.

With modern genetic testing, we can apply the Chinese philosophy on a sound scientific basis, using advanced medical techniques. That’s why we are confident in claiming that our customers will not become ill – except perhaps for flu or something similar. This is because of our preventive approach to illness.
