Flow cytometry multiplex assessment of the proinflammatory cytokines: IL-1b, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, TNF, TGF-b1, MIP-1b, MCP1 There are many reports of cytokine imbalances in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). These imbalances could have a pathogenic role, or they may be markers of underlying genetic and environmental influences. Cytokines act primarily as mediators of immunological activity but they also have significant interactions with the nervous system.

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with over 70 markers. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine.

This Blood Chemistry Analysis is our most advanced and comprehensive blood chemistry profile, which is available as a modular profile. This means we can truly personalise this laboratory diagnostic test to your individual needs, giving a personalised 'bigger' picture to improve your health outcomes. Elevations in your triglycerides may cause significant underestimation of LDL cholesterol when using the basic cholesterol test.

Adrenal Stress Test A comprehensive test that evaluates the circadian rhythm of the body via four cortisol measurements, one DHEA and two antibodies: secretory IgA and anti-gliadin IgA, to determine how well the adrenal glands are functioning and the cause of any fatigue or inflammation that may be associated with adrenal dysfunction. Why test? The adrenal glands are located near the kidneys and produce hormones responsible for a variety of functions in the body.

The Behavioral Health Genetic Panel takes a multifaceted approach to defining each patient’s susceptibility to mood disorders, providing information about which types of treatments are most beneficial based on each patient’s genetic background.

People can develop irritating and even life threatening TH2-driven IgE antibody responses to even the most minute exposure to the wrong dietary antigens. It is, however, important to note that only some of the people who are exposed to these substances make IgE antibodies against them. The first exposure may make people sensitive to the allergen without causing any symptoms.

Mycoplasmas are atypical bacteria that live as intra- or extracellular parasites. Mycoplasmas can be transmitted through aerosols (M. pneumoniae, M. fermentans, both of which are found in the saliva); sexual transmission is also frequent (M. genitalium). Acute M. pneumoniae infections cause pneumonia, bronchitis; chronic infection in the lungs can exacerbate other respiratory diseases such as asthma. Mycoplasmas can disseminate from their primary infection site to other organs.

Zonulin is a protein that regulates tight gap junctions in the gastrointestinal tract and modulates intestinal permeability. Zonulin plays an important role in the opening of small intestine tight junctions. The loss of gut wall integrity during conditions such sepsis might be pivotal and has been described in various experimental involving human studies. As mentioned previously, increased levels of zonulin could also be demonstrated in diseases associated with increased intestinal inflammation.

Understand your increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes. When Cardiometabolic Risk factors are abnormal, you may have an elevated risk for developing diabetes that is known as Prediabetes, which can progress to diabetes itself unless lifestyle factors are adjusted to lower risk. Proper management of CardioMetabolic risk factors can support your overall wellness and provide effective tools for improved lifestyle and longevity.
