![]() Since immune function is a systemic measure of general health, a higher IMMUNIDEX™ score is generally desired since it means a person can respond efficiently not only to exogenous threats such as pathogens or allergens, but also to endogenous threats like tumors. Specifically, it measures T-cell lymphocyte proliferation. IMMUNIDEX™ Immune Response Score – A unique Clinical ToolĪ patient’s IMMUNIDEX™ score is one measurement to evaluate a person’s cell-mediated immune system performance. We’ve included easy-to-understand supplement information that explains the role of each nutrient found deficient, deficiency symptoms, how to obtain that nutrient in food and toxicity and RDI standards for adults. ![]() We’ve incorporated numerical and graphic representations for each result, and we offer repletion suggestions based on each patient’s deficiencies. ![]() SpectraCell provides easy-to-read test reports for the clinician and the patient. This is analogous to the use of a glycosylated hemoglobin test to evaluate blood glucose levels over a one to three month period. Since lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow and stored in the peripheral locations for long periods of time (the average life span of a lymphocyte is approximately four to six months), SpectraCell’s measurements provide a powerful portrait of each patients’ long-term nutrient status. Due to the considerable number of cellular antioxidants with extensive interactions, redundancies, repair and recharging capabilities, measuring total function is the most accurate and clinically useful way to assess your patients’ capacity to resist oxidative damage. The same technology also provides a total antioxidant function test (SPECTROX™) which assesses the ability of cells to resist damage caused by free radicals and other forms of oxidative stress. The functional intracellular status of micronutrients involved in cell metabolism is evaluated by manipulation of the individual micronutrients in the media followed by mitogenic stimulation and measurement of DNA synthesis. SpectraCell’s patented, chemically-defined control media contains the minimal amount of each essential micronutrient that is needed to support optimal lymphocyte growth or mitogenic response. As the only lab that can offer a truly functional intracellular testing, SpectraCell also provides you with targeted nutrient repletion recommendations for the deficiencies identified. Our panels are designed to provide you with the most comprehensive nutritional analysis available. Our tests measure the biochemical function of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, providing a powerful clinical assessment tool for your practice. SpectraCell’s micronutrient testing offers a unique means to scientifically assess the intracellular requirements of micronutrients that play an important role in overall health and wellness of your patients. Static serum levels are not always representative indicators for assessing cell metabolism and utilization. SpectraCell’s Tests Are More Advanced Than Other Laboratory Testsīefore the introduction of our tests, many diagnostic and risk assessments were based on clinical observation and measurements of static levels of certain nutrients in serum. SpectraCell’s Micronutrient test includes:įor Total Antioxidant Function IMMUNIDEX™ P ROACTIVE RISK ASSESSMENT: Provide customized prevention by early detection of nutritional deficiencies for proactive patients.ĬHALLENGING CASES : Gain insight into generalized complaints with no apparent specific disease source and to provide treatment options based on biochemical individuality. ![]() HIGH-RISK GROUPS: Certain high-risk groups are more susceptible to vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies that can affect treatment outcomes and overall health. DISEASE THERAPY AND MANAGEMENT : Diagnose and treat nutritional risk factors that contribute to the therapy/management of many degenerative disease conditions.įAMILY HISTORY: Provide prevention measures for patients with family history of common chronic disease conditions. ![]()
