3.  Download the requisition form from the Grassroots Labs website.

4.  Take the completed requisition form with you to the facility you selected when you placed the order.

5. If you didn't authorize Grassroots Labs to send your results directly to Medi-Share, they will send you an email when the results are posted. Please send your results to health@mychristiancare.org or fax to (321) 308-7775.

*Laboratories will not accept orders without a Doctor's requisition form. Please complete the process associated with a company above or call their phone number to get the required requisition form before visiting your local laboratory. These lab services require a HIPAA release form to forward your results directly to Christian Care Ministry. Some vendors may charge for this service. Having your results forwarded to us from a vendor is optional. We will accept official results directly from you.

Use the checklist below for best results

For Labs:

• Fast between 10-14 hours, 12 hours is ideal.  (A prolonged fast can raise cholesterol levels)
• Stay well hydrated by drinking 8-10 glasses of water per day for 72 hours before testing.
• Some medications and supplements can affect your results. Please list all your meds.
• Be well rested and stay calm. Undue anxiety and nervousness can affect blood pressure and some lab values.
• Blood drawn from a vein is more reliable than a finger stick. Finger stick samples may need to be repeated, especially if the finger was squeezed or milked to get the blood drop.
• Laboratories often discount a combined lipid and HbA1c test.

Laboratory testing is not a treatment but a tool to aid in the detection of illness and disease. Your test results should show a range for normal readings. It is possible that results outside of the normal range may indicate a false positive or may be normal for you. If your results do fall outside of the normal range it is important that you consult with your doctor. It is also a good idea to share your results with your doctor even if they are in the normal range.
