This test measures the amount of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the blood.  MPO is an enzyme produced by white blood cells.  Elevated MPO levels are a strong indicator that there is inflammation in a person's artery walls due to plaque buildup.  This type of inflammation greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular events such as a heart attack.  Even in people with normal cholesterol, elevated MPO can mean their heart health is at risk.

The PLAC Test measures the amount of Lp-PLA2 in the bloodstream. Lp-PLA2 is an enzyme that can assess the amount of inflammation in your arteries due to a build-up of cholesterol. This test can help assess your risk for heart disease or stroke.

Environmental toxins, technically called toxicants, are substances produced outside of the human body and which, when absorbed, inhaled, or ingested, can cause acute or chronic toxic overload.  This may manifest in a variety of biological organ, tissue, and cellular-level systems.

Environmental toxins are cancer-causing chemicals and endocrine disruptors, both human-made and naturally occurring. 

Tickborne Diseases panel tests for IgG and IgM antibodies for Lyme disease as well as co-infection(s) and opportunistic infections with other tick-borne illnesses.  Tickborne diseases can be acquired throughout the United States from a variety of ticks, which carry and pass on different microorganisms to humans and animals. Symptoms may be generic and have overlap with other conditions, and therefore, be difficult to associate with a tickborne disease.  Because many symptoms of tickborne diseases are generic or mimic other conditions, these diseases often go undiagnosed, increasing the suffering and disease progression of the patient.  

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone that stimulates the development of male characteristics.  It is made through the conversion of testosterone.  Almost 10% of the testosterone produced by an adult each day is converted to DHT. DHT is more powerful than testosterone.

Hormone imbalances can affect a wide range of body functions.
• Markers Tested:
  • Estrogens
  • Androgens
  • Progestogens
  • Saliva Hormones
  • Glucocorticoids

Comprehensive Stool Analysis

Gastrointestinal complaints are among the most common reasons that patients seek medical care. Symptoms associated with GI disorders include persistent diarrhea, constipation, bloating, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome and malabsorption. 

• The Comprehensive Stool Analysis is a simple stool test that can help assess digestive and absorptive functions, the presence of opportunistic pathogens and to monitor the efficacy of therapeutic remediation of GI disorders. 
• Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to prescriptive and natural agents is also performed for appropriate bacterial and fungal species at no additional charge.

 

G6PD

A G6PD test measures the levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), an enzyme in your blood. We use this test to see if you are able to receive high dose Vitamin C infusion in the form of IV nutritional therapy. 

Testosterone, Progesterone, Estradiol

• Testosterone – the primary sex hormone and anabolic steroid in males.  It helps regulate fertility, muscle mass, fat distribution, and red blood cell production.
• Progesterone – a sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species.
• Estradiol – It is the strongest of the three estrogen hormones.  It’s main function is to help mature and maintain the female reproductive system.
• DHEA-is a hormone produced by the body's adrenal glands. The body uses DHEA to make androgens and estrogens, the male and female sex hormones. 
• Pregnenolone-Pregnenolone is a precursor hormone that is responsible for making the most important hormones in the body – specifically, cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone, each of which is vitally important for regulating various bodily functions

TAP - Adrenal Stress Index

TAP Test measures cortisol through saliva over 24 hours.  Saliva is collected over a period of 24 hours, providing more complete information about your body’s stress response than a single test. This is ideal for people dealing with chronic stress and stress-related symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety and fatigue.

Viral Panel 

• The Virus Infections Panel, part of the Neural Zoomer Plus, measures antibody response to 7 of the most common infections associated with autoimmunity of the nervous system.

The Neural ZoomerTM Plus is an array of neurological autoantibodies which offers very specific antibody-to-antigen recognition. The Vibrant Neural ZoomerTM Plus is designed to assess an individual’s reactivity to 48 neurological antigens, which may have connections to a variety of neurologically related diseases.With a panel of 48 of the most well-studied neurological autoantibodies, the Neural ZoomerTM Plus is able to guide providers in treatment protocols by pinpointing the mechanisms behind disease progression and providing a roadmap to solutions and improved health outcomes in this challenging arena of disease. The test also has optional addone. Overproduction of DHT is known to cause a number of undesirable health effects in men including enlargement of the prostate and male pattern baldness.
