What is your body saying to you? Medical professionals along with modern technology have found new ways of revealing clues of the human body.

Testing blood and other bodily fluids will make it possible to do all new sorts of testing and could be done at the convenience of your home. Predicting towards the future, these kits will be available for everyone to test almost anything in their body.

Different bodily fluids contain certain qualities and attributes that could provide more data like, blood can detect about anything that’s going on in your body, from risks of heart disease to how well your organs work together, but that’s nothing new.

A new form of testing would be something unconventional like Earwax. Earwax is a fatty substance that may contain a higher concentrate of molecules than in more liquid fluids. It’s able to reveal more disease related info and could tell where you have been, this may seem strange but the smell of your earwax could tell if you are of European, American or from African descent.

Sweat has always been used to screen newborns, now it could detect anything outside the body like blood does for the inside. It could monitor living organisms and diseases outside our body, resting on our skin, but with new data comes new technology, devices like patches are in the process of being developed that could tell if athletes are about to burn-out from dehydration. It is a whole new field of medicine.

Feces provides more data of your DNA than a standard DNA test does. “We are what we eat”… Microbes are organisms that live in our body that could tell much more about what we are than DNA. While our human genes are 99.9% in common with another, our microbes are about 10-20%. It also has the ability to identify complex diseases apart from one another from depression to obesity.

These new informative sources could provide resourceful facts to missing links in medicine today while making testing affordable and mobile to some extend.

Someday your blood, sweat, and tears might save a life or provide data to revolutionary solutions. But for now, let’s be safe and still make your routing checks at your local GP or house doctor and your recommended Medical Professionals.
