FOOD SENSITIVITY

KMBO + ELISA VS LABS LIKE EVERLYWELL: The first 2 are unique multi-pathway test that detects both IgG 1-4 and C3d which indicates not only food exposure but simultaneously indicates which foods are likely involved in inflammation and leaky gut. IgG only tests such as Everlywell, are a single-pathway that detects only the IgG which indicates food exposure. IgG only tests are non-specific because they identify many foods which do not cause inflammation whereas, the FIT Test is very specific and more accurately identifies those foods causing inflammation. 

·       KMBO Food Inflammation Test 22-176 Items (Fingerstick) - 22 items $125, 132 items $300, 176 items $400. The FIT (Food Inflammation Test) measures foods, colors and additives (including Candida) for IgG 1-4 and C3d complement. The multi-pathway testing measures 2 inflammatory pathways instead of IgG alone, which eliminates false positives that occur with traditional IgG testing. Each sample is run with 15 standards and controls.

·       ELISA/ACT BIOTECHNOLOGIES LRA TEST (Blood Draw) - Learn more about the panel you're interested in. Panels range from the Basic Panel 144 items $335, Enhanced Basic Panel 212 items $435, Comprehensive Panel 317 items $675, Comprehensive Panel + 32 Meds 349 items $850, Professional’s Choice Panel 389 items $775, Professional’s Choice Plus Panel including 17 additives/preservatives 406 items $835, all the way to All Inclusive for 512 items $1245. Revolutionary blood tests that directly analyze lymphocytes, the body’s long lived, memory-carrying white blood cells that indicate health and disease in the body. The only tests that simultaneously measure all three types of delayed sensitivity reactions through lymphocyte activation: Reactive antibody (IgA, IgM, and IgG), Immune complexes, T cell direct activation.  Functional tests that detect only symptom-provoking lymphocyte reactions, not merely the presence and amount of antibodies (which can be protective or symptom-provoking). This distinction is clinically important and can only be made by a functional, cell response assay. More reliable and comprehensive than other tests of delayed food and chemical sensitivities (Antibody, particle size, mediator release). Antibody tests such as IgG and IgG4 (offered by Cyrex, Immuno Labs, and many other labs) are nonfunctional tests, looking at only one delayed pathway - not a complete picture of the immune system.  

HORMONE BALANCE

CARDIOVASCULAR

·       Lipoprotein Particle Testing (Veinous) - $179 + $20.99 Shipping. Do cholesterol numbers really assess cardiovascular risk? Lipoprotein particle numbers tell the story. Up to 50 percent of those who have suffered heart attacks had “normal” cholesterol numbers. How can the large discrepancy between accurate diagnosis and standard cholesterol testing be prevented? Simply by determining the LDL (low density lipoprotein) particle sizes and pro-inflammatory markers like CRP, Homocysteine and pro-clotting factors like Lipoprotein(a) as well as insulin.

HEAVY METALS + TOXINS

·       ZRT Laboratories Elements Profile - (Finger Prick + Urine) + $10 Shipping -  Elements make up the air we breathe, water we drink and food we eat. Elements such as iodine and selenium are essential.

·     Mosaic Diagnostics (formally Great Plains Laboratory) MycoTox - $299. MycoTOX is the most comprehensive and competitively priced mycotoxin test available. Mycotoxins are some of the most prevalent toxins in the environment.  Mycotoxins are metabolites produced by fungi like mold, which can infest buildings, vehicles, and foodstuffs.  A majority of mycotoxin exposures are through food ingestion or airborne exposure.  In the European Union, 20% of all grains harvested have been found to be contaminated with mycotoxins.  Unfortunately, mycotoxins are resistant to heat and many processing procedures. Fungi are able to grow on almost any surface, especially if the environment is warm and wet.  Inner wall materials of buildings, wall paper, fiber glass insulation, ceiling tiles, and gypsum support are all good surfaces for fungi to colonize.  These fungi then release mycotoxins into the environment causing symptoms of many different chronic diseases. MycoTOX screens for eleven different mycotoxins, from 40 species of mold, in one urine sample. MycoTOX pairs perfectly with the Organic Acids Test (OAT) ($309 + Tax) and GPL-TOX (Toxic Non-Metal Chemical Profile) (Discounted $169 + Tax).

MTHFR is an enzyme responsible for converting 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to the product 5-methyltetrahydrofolate - it is involved in the metabolism of folate and homocysteine. The product of the reaction catalyzed by MTHFR converts homocysteine (a potentially toxic amino acid) to methionine (a useful and necessary amino acid). Find a qualified Draw Site near you (Best to search with Chrome or Safari, does not work with Firefox).

·       SpectraCell Telomere - (Blood) $180 + $10 Shipping. The first commercially available telomere analysis in the United States. Telomeres are sections of genetic material at the end of each chromosome whose primary function is to prevent chromosomal “fraying” when a cell replicates. As a cell ages, its telomeres become shorter. Eventually, the telomeres become too short to allow cell replication, the cell stops dividing and will ultimately die - a normal biological process. SpectraCell’s Telomere Test can determine the length of a patient’s telomeres in relation to the patient’s age.
