well this was uploaded by the actual company of this product three years ago.  Their form of advertising.  They get the peeps they've probably paid one way or the other to endorse it.  Then you have employers offering it to their employees and all that garbage.  Then you can potentially have your health coverage/life insurance company deny you coverage based on this snapshot of what is in your body right now--of could bes....  It is, imo, a disaster.

AND yes you could be denied insurance coverage because if you go for life insurance and are asked if you have any health issues, you now have this lovely bio test that has pointed out a myriad of possiblities.  Um do they actually ever ask these questions?  Last week I just took out life insurance and I had to answer all kinds of health questions.  If I lied and they find out, I can get in trouble for insurance fraud.

I would NEVER have any blood testing done if offered through my employer.  Only doctor that discusses my health issues is my personal physician and the employers/insurance co ain't getting a wiff of it.

In combination with a Full Body Scan, and Virtual Colonoscopy, this looks like, pretty much. Never having to take any other kind of test. In the impossible event that I would ever get this done, it would be out of my own pocket. Haha..thats never gonna happen. Seems like playing God almost, but I mean, I've had  CATSCAN isnt that kinda like playing god....I don't know.

On a sidenote,
is there a cheaper, well-known series of tests I could take at my regular doctor that could be somewhat like this?

my health insurance is Kaiser Permanente, which actually is health insurance/doctors office all in one

guitar you are 19.  Do you really want to open that kettle of fish?  Do you really want an "infancy" technology guessing/predicting what might happen in 5 yrs or 10yrs or 20+yrs?  What you are told today could be vastly different than what could actually happen.  All you would do is set yourself to worrying that marker X was shown and that may predispose you to disease Y in 30 yrs. 

is a CTscan like playing god?  No it is done to diagnose an actual disease today.  Now, of course, a lot of hypos go and get reassurance testing--there is a difference between the two.

Guitar= I would be careful of getting too many CT scans. I know that they can give you a feeling of security with your anxiety, but each one gives you an enormous dose of radiation even in a scan of a limited portion of the body. Whole body scans can give you more radiation than you need in a lifetime unless the physicians have a specific reason for doing it. I would never have a body scan for prospective diagnostic reasons because the risk due to the radiation is more dangerous than any prospective information that could be gained from the test itself.

This test looked pretty neat and Im sitting here thinking I should get it done, then I look up the price and its $3400! HA! Ya right! Im also only 26yrs old! And like sixpack said(I absolutely love your outlook on things, you always make me feel better after reading things you write!) all this is gonna do is if it did show something "abnormal" just gonna make us even more neurotic!
