Dr. Prather, why is oxygen saturation important?
Oxygen saturation is an important aspect of oxygenation because even if you have great circulation and respiration, if your red blood cells aren't carrying the oxygen throughout your body, those other things really aren't that effective.
I often find that when I do blood work on my patients and it comes back indicating that they are anemic, they respond by saying, “Oh yeah, I know. My doctor tells me that it isn’t really something I should be concerned with.”
Being anemic is not normal and in fact, it is dangerous. Your chances of cancer increase dramatically because the oxygen is not getting into your system. Your blood is not carrying enough oxygen to the various parts of your body which causes them to speed up on their degeneration and aging process.
Anemia is not something to be taken lightly and at the Prather Wellness Center we treat anemia so as to increase the body's ability to carry the oxygen to various organs and tissues.
The ability of your body to carry the oxygen in the red blood cells your health will suffer and you will be at greater risk for cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Dear John Yu,
We do not use the Electro Dermal Screening unit to diagnose condition. We use gold standard diagnostic tests that are established and accepted by medical science.
Yours for better health,

Dear John Yu,
Thank you for your question. Blood fasting is only necessary for glucose and lipid values. If those need to be checked then we will do a 12 hour fast.
Yours for better health,
Dr. Robert C. Prather
