Cell Science Systems

Cell Science Systems is a company specializing in laboratory testing related to personalized nutrition, immune response, and food sensitivities. Their most well-known test is the ALCAT Test (Antigen Leukocyte Cellular Antibody Test), but they also offer several other assays. Here’s a summary of their main tests:

1. ALCAT Test (Antigen Leukocyte Cellular Antibody Test) Purpose: Identifies sensitivities to foods, additives, environmental chemicals, and other substances. Method: Measures leukocyte (white blood cell) responses to various substances using whole blood. Clinical Use: Guides dietary modifications for patients with unexplained symptoms, gastrointestinal issues, migraines, skin problems, and more. Results: Lists substances categorized by reaction severity (severe, moderate, mild, none).

2. Genetic Testing (Nutrigenomic Panels) Purpose: Assesses genetic markers related to nutrition, metabolism, and chronic disease risk. Method: DNA analysis from buccal swab or blood. Clinical Use: Provides personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations based on genetic predispositions.

3. Micronutrient Testing Purpose: Measures functional deficiencies of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. Method: Blood test assessing cellular function and nutrient status. Clinical Use: Detects deficiencies not visible in standard serum tests; helps tailor supplementation.

4. Gut Health Panels Purpose: Evaluates markers of gut inflammation, permeability, and microbiome balance. Method: Stool or blood testing. Clinical Use: Used for patients with GI complaints, autoimmune conditions, and chronic inflammation.

5. The Telomere Length Test measures the length of telomeres in white blood cells. Telomeres are protective caps at chromosome ends that naturally shorten with age and cell division. Shorter telomeres are linked to aging and a higher risk of age-related diseases. Clinical Use: Biological Age Assessment: Telomere length offers an estimate of cellular aging, sometimes called "biological age" versus chronological age. Risk Stratification: Short telomeres may signal increased risk for chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Lifestyle & Intervention Monitoring: Can track the effects of lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress reduction) or treatments aimed at slowing cellular aging.

Using advanced bio-chip microarray technology, this panel offers a deeper analysis of nervous system health, helping identify potential immune triggers and supporting targeted intervention strategies for neurological wellness. The Neural Zoomer Plus assesses immune responses to neurological antigens and infectious agents, including tickborne diseases and viral pathogens, providing insights into complex neurological conditions often missed by conventional tests. The test detects immune responses to both autoimmune and infectious pathogens that can cause neuroinflammation, cognitive decline, and chronic neurological issues, enabling early intervention before symptoms worsen.

Metabolomix + 2 add-ons (Genova Diagnostics)

The Metabolomix test is a non-invasive, personalized nutritional assessment recommended for individuals experiencing mood symptoms and a history of infections. It evaluates amino acid, fatty acid, and micronutrient levels to identify deficiencies or toxic exposures that may influence neurobehavioral and immune health. The add-ons include bloodspot fatty acid markers for cardiovascular and inflammatory risk, as well as a comprehensive urine profile for toxic and mineral element analysis.

The GI Effects Stool Profiles (Genova Diagnostics)

The biomarkers on the GI Effects Comprehensive Profile (2200) reflect the 3 key functions of gut health arranged in the "DIG" format: Digestion/Absorption, Inflammation/Immunology, and the Gut Microbiome. They can reveal important information about the root cause of many common gastrointestinal symptoms and non-GI conditions, including: Gas Bloating Indigestion/ reflux Abdominal pain/ cramps Diarrhea Constipation Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Atopic dermatitis/ eczema Allergies Autoimmune diseases Mood disorders (depression) Joint aches Diabetes Weight issues.

Vaginosis Profile ( Doctor’s Data )

Although common, diagnosing vaginal infections based solely on symptoms is not reliable. Correctly identifying the cause is essential for effective treatment. Using a self-collected sample, the Comprehensive Vaginosis Profile distinguishes between bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and Trichomonas vaginalis (a sexually transmitted parasite) to help guide appropriate therapy. It also includes a bacterial vaginosis score calculated with the Nugent Scoring System. Additionally, antimicrobial susceptibility testing for both prescription and natural treatments is performed for relevant bacterial and fungal species at no extra cost. Useful for: Vaginal Discomfort Vaginal Discharge Persistent Yeast Infection.

NeuroBasic Profile Panel ( Doctor’s Data )

Urinary neurotransmitter levels provide an assessment of the body's ability to produce and metabolize neurotransmitters, reflecting overall bodily levels. Abnormal urinary neurotransmitter levels can provide critical clinical insights and may be linked to various symptoms, including: - Mood issues such as depression and anxiety - Reduced energy and fatigue - Insomnia - Cognitive problems like forgetfulness, inattention, and brain fog - Addiction and dependency - Obsessions and cravings - Chronic illness and immune deficiency - Pain.

Neurotransmitters + Saliva Steroids + UDH III ( ZRT Labs )

Urinary Diurnal Rhythm This technique uses 4 urine strips at specific times of the day, which are then pooled together to provide the equivalent of a 24-hour assessment for neurotransmitters, circadian rhythm, as well as adrenal hormones. These include 14 neurotransmitters, their metabolites, melatonin, cortisol, cortisone, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. *Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers used by the nervous system to relay immediate information from one nerve to another. Optimal neurotransmitter balance is required to maintain proper health. Imbalances can cause the brain and the body to be over- or under-stimulated, producing neurological or psychological symptoms. *Hormones are synergistic with neurotransmitters – modulating their production, signaling, and metabolism.

Most hormones are produced by a group of glands known collectively as the endocrine system. Even though these glands are located in various parts of the body, they are considered one system because of their similar functions and relationship to each other. They can’t be stored in the cells; hormones do their work as they pass through, and then they’re gone. As a result, hormones must be made and released into the bloodstream by these glands at the precise time they’re needed. Due to the complexity of these interactions, a hormonal imbalance rarely stems from only one type of hormone. More often, the problem involves a series of hormones that are out of balance. In addition, a disruption in the balance of hormones produced by one gland or set of glands can cause other glands or systems to dysfunction. Before you know it, you’re feeling miserable on multiple fronts. Because of this complex interplay, testing hormones and neurotransmitters together is an ideal way to generate a more precise clinical assessment.

MycoLabs - Mold Panel Testing

The MycoLabs (Mold Panel) test is a blood test that detects exposure to specific types of mold known to cause health problems, especially in individuals with allergies, asthma, or weakened immune systems. Your healthcare provider might recommend this test if you experience symptoms such as a persistent cough, nasal congestion, wheezing, skin rashes, or unexplained fatigue that could be linked to mold exposure. The test measures two types of antibodies in your blood—IgG and IgE—that indicate your body’s reaction to common molds like Aspergillus, Penicillium, Stachybotrys (black mold), Cladosporium, and Alternaria. IgE antibodies are typically associated with immediate allergic reactions, while IgG antibodies may indicate longer-term or past exposure. Usually, no special preparation is needed before the test, and you can eat and drink normally. If your results are positive, it likely indicates you've been exposed to certain molds; a negative result suggests no evidence of a reaction to the molds tested. Your healthcare provider will review your results and discuss next steps, such as treatment for symptoms or strategies to reduce mold exposure. If you have questions about the MycoLabs Mold Panel or your results, be sure to ask your healthcare provider for more information.

GX Sciences

GX Sciences offers a nutrigenomics test to verify your specific nutritional supplement needs based on your unique DNA expression. The scientific field that studies personalized genetics and nutrition is called nutritional genomics or “nutrigenomics.” This testing precisely detects your unique genetic protein variations to pinpoint areas of metabolic weakness. These key proteins play roles in enzyme conversion, nutritional delivery, and signaling pathways within cells. Abnormalities in certain polymorphisms can impair many physiological and metabolic functions. Addressing these weaknesses with the right supplements allows individuals to overcome their genetic vulnerabilities (SNPs). This approach supports you in achieving optimal health.

Epixlife Pediatric or Wellness (Adult) Report

This epigenetic report offers personalized recommendations to promote well-being, balance the body, and assess the impact of environmental factors on health. It provides insights into gene expression at the cellular level. The analysis is based on five hair strands, resulting in relevant and accurate information regarding current health status. The report includes optimization recommendations across several categories: nutritional needs, food sensitivities, indicators of metabolic system status, and external/environmental factors.

Oligoscan

The first test is immediate and non-invasive. Using a handheld scanning device, we measure the intracellular uptake of elements through tissue at a depth of 4mm beneath the skin. This test provides a report outlining the intracellular levels of 44 elements, including 21 minerals, 16 heavy metals, and vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, D, and E. Our peripheral tissue scan is more reliable than traditional blood tests, which can be invasive and uncomfortable. Blood tests may yield less accurate results since levels fluctuate throughout the day. The peripheral tissue scan assesses your element levels over the past 3–4 months.

Hair Elements Profile (Doctor's Data): When Oligoscan is not an option

Hair Elements analysis offers insights into recent and ongoing exposure to potentially toxic metals, especially methylmercury and arsenic, as well as the long-term status of specific nutrient elements. This simple, noninvasive screening test requires only .25 grams of hair. Doctor's Data provides a Hair Elements profile that includes both essential and toxic elements.

Since protein is synthesized in the hair follicle, elements are permanently incorporated into the hair without further exchange or redistribution with other tissues. Scalp hair is easy to sample, and because it grows about one to two centimeters per month, it provides a "temporal record" of element metabolism and exposure to toxic substances.

Nutrient elements like magnesium, chromium, zinc, copper, and selenium are essential cofactors for hundreds of vital enzymes and are also necessary for the proper function of vitamins. The levels of these elements in hair correlate with their levels in organs and other tissues.

Toxic elements can be 200 to 300 times more concentrated in hair than in blood or urine. As a result, hair is an ideal tissue for detecting recent exposure to elements such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, antimony, and mercury.

Hair element analysis is a useful and cost-effective screening tool for detecting excess, deficiency, or uneven distribution of elements in the body. However, it should not be used as the sole diagnostic test for essential element function and should be combined with patient symptoms and other laboratory assessments.

Kryptopyrrole Quantitative Urine Test (DHA Laboratory)

The Kryptopyrrole Quantitative Urine Test is a non-invasive, at-home urine collection kit that measures kryptopyrroles (hydroxyhemopyrrolin-2-one, HPL) levels in urine. Elevated kryptopyrrole levels—sometimes called pyroluria, pyrrole disorder, or increased pyrroles—may be linked to higher urinary loss of vitamin B6 and zinc, which can lead to deficiencies in these key nutrients.

TPotential Effects of Pyroluria: Deficiencies in vitamin B6 and zinc can hinder neurotransmitter production, impacting chemicals like norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and GABA.

TPeople with elevated kryptopyrrole levels may have higher nutritional needs for vitamin B6, zinc, omega-6 fatty acids, magnesium, and sometimes selenium.

Symptoms associated with elevated urinary pyrroles can include fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, and hormonal imbalances.

Common Conditions Where Pyroluria Might Be Found:

• Behavioral disorders
• Autism spectrum disorders
• ADHD/ADD
• Depression
• Aggressive or violent behavior
• Schizophrenia

Symptoms Possibly Related to Pyroluria:

• Poor tolerance to physical and emotional stress
• Difficulty controlling anger or emotional outbursts
• Mood swings
• Short-term memory problems
• Frequent infections
• Inability to tan
• Poor dream recall
• Abnormal fat distribution
• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Tactile sensitivities

The Kryptopyrrole test uses an at-home urine collection kit. Results help tailor nutritional support, especially within functional or integrative medicine approaches.
