Lord and J. Alexander Bralley. This book follows the original edition by Bralley and Lord, Laboratory Evaluations in Molecular Medicine, published in 2001. The institute is the new educational arm of Metametrix Inc., a leader in nutritional and metabolic testing services.
This second edition incorporates the most recent advances in the fields of integrative and functional medicine testing, focusing on the factors underlying patient health and disease. Some of the latest insights into laboratory testing for nutritional, biochemical, and metabolic imbalances are explored in over 80 case illustrations. The extensive foundation of scientific literature, including over 3800 citations, supports the clinical applications for this area of medicine.
"Building on the successful framework of the previous edition," Dr.
Richard Lord, a co-editor stated, "the task of this latest text was
updating and expanding content while adding extensive color figures, tables
and case illustrations from cover to cover, to make this book a valued

that the new book will help lead to better understanding of human health
