Norwegian lab company ORIVO has developed a first-of-its-kind test that verifies whether a fish oil product is made of real marine sources (salmon oil, salmon meal, anchovy oil, cod liver oil, krill oil, etc.); and the specific region (Norway, Alaska, Peru, Iceland, New Zealand, etc.) from which the fish oil was sourced.
Any fish oil product bearing the ORIVO seal is a guarantee that the product's claims are in line with the above two requirements. In other words, it ensures that the fish oil product you recommend / provide to your patients is what it claims to be.
Biotics Research Corporation is the first U.S. supplement brand to use the independent, third-party lab test to verify the authenticity of its fish oil products. (Biotics' fish oil products claim to use an anchovy sourced from the cold waters of the South Pacific Ocean off the South American coast. Using the ORIVO test, those claims can now be verified.)
ORIVO received partial funding to develop the test from the Norwegian Research Council and Innovation Norway, an organization that promotes business development throughout the country; with additional support from (among others) SINTEF Ocean, a department of Scandinavia's largest research and development institute, SINTEF.
Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
