Biophysical 250

I have signed up to do a study as I train and run the Austin Marathon. The study is being run by Biophysical Corp and is funded by the US Military. The study is looking into biological changes that occur under acute physical stress and how long the recovery process at the biological level takes. The results will be used by the military and other occupations to predict the readiness for deployment, combat, physical work (such as firemen, police, professional and collegiate athletes, etc) and to monitor the recovery from these occupations. At the end of the event, I won't get paid like many other research programs. However, I will get a copy of my health assessment report, so i'll know all about myself regarding over 250 different conditions and diseases including:

• Cardiovascular disease (such as risk for heart attack and stroke)
• Cancer (including breast, colon, liver, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic)
• Metabolic disorders (such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome)
• Autoimmune disease (including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus)
• Viral and bacterial diseases (such as mononucleosis and pneumonia)
• Hormonal imbalance (including menopause, testosterone deficiency, thyroid deficiency)
• Nutritional status (such as vitamin deficiencies, protein deficiencies)
• And the list goes on & on - see it here.

HERE'S THE THING: getting this type of report from your doctor costs around $4000 and is not covered by insurance. But with this study, it's completely FREE.

Doing this test requires periodic bloodwork, and I did my first one today. It took less than 5 minutes from the time I walked in to the time I walked out. They need about 20 more participants - they already have about 100 or so, and some are in Rogue.
