Lab Review Fee – ION, Alzheimer’s LINX & Lymphocyte MAP
This lab review fee covers one of the following labs:
The ION (Individual Optimum Nutrition) test provides a comprehensive metabolic profile evaluating not only all of your amino acids but also amino acid derivatives, fatty acids, cell regulator markers, indicators of neurotransmitter imbalance, Micronutrients (vitamin A, E, D, zinc, calcium, CoQ10, magnesium, selenium), toxic metals (mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum), and organic acids. This will help us to determine contributions to the compromised cell membrane integrity.
The Lymphocyte MAP is an advanced and in-depth test panel providing the following:
- An invaluable picture of underlying immune imbalances that may trigger complex diseases.
- Information about how environmental triggers could affect your immune system, potentially resulting in disease conditions.
- The ability to better identify immune conditions at an earlier stage, which if not addressed, may cause over-reaction (autoimmunity), or under-reaction (immune deficiencies) of the immune system, thus, allowing you to gauge existing susceptibilities.
- A more precise immune picture to help plan a treatment regimen or monitor its success.
- Very useful surrogate markers for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies, allergies and hypersensitivities.
The Alzheimer’s LINX is an advanced and in-depth test panel providing the following:
- Identifying asymptomatic individuals at greater risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease or other neurological disorder.
- Identifying reactivity to triggers of Alzheimer’s disease or other neurological disorder.
- Identifying the early stages of neurodegenerative processes.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of lifestyle modifications and treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and / or other compromised nervous systems.
Description
Functional medicine labs provide complex, multisystem data that helps to uncover underlying causes to disease states and metabolic dysfunction. A Lab Review fee for all of the functional medicine labs is charged. This fee covers my time outside of our normal office visit to analyze the data and come to a reasonable treatment plan.
