Dietary intervention is a common treatment among patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, insufficient patient adherence, and essential need for ingredient restrictions limiting its use in this population. Immune assay guided diet may provide an individualized intervention, which may increase its effectiveness compared with non-personalized dietary strategies. We aimed to test the effectiveness of an individualized dietary intervention, based on Leukocyte activation to dietary…
Continue reading →The use of functional cellular technologies to access immune health, inflammatory burden and immune responses to environmental substances and nutrients will be described in detail. This will include a description of measurement of phosphorylation of critical immune signaling pathways, innate and adaptive immune responses; which together define immune age, and practical steps for clinical application. You’ll Learn: 1. Basics in immunology: What is the definition…

By F. Buck Willis, Ram Shanmugam, Janet H. Southerland, Charles P. Mouton
This study was designed to examine efficacy of separate and combined protocols for obesity reduction with sequential outcomes after one year. This was an experimental case vs control study, lasting 12 months, conducted from 2018 to 2020.Methods: Ninety-four obese subjects, ages 14-76 with Body Mass Index (BMI) > 30, enrolled in this multi-center study in Texas, USA. Treatments included food allergen identification/elimination (ALCAT, leukocyte reaction…

By Gretchen A Stevens, Ty Beal, Mduduzi N N Mbuya, Hanqi Luo, Lynnette M Neufeld, on behalf of the Global Micronutrient Deficiencies Research Group
Micronutrient deficiencies compromise immune systems, hinder child growth and development, and affect human potential worldwide. Yet, to our knowledge, the only existing estimate of the global prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies is from over 30 years ago and is based only on the prevalence of anaemia. We aimed to estimate the global and regional prevalence of deficiency in at least one of three micronutrients among preschool-aged…

Did you know that every five minutes, a food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room? Millions of people are affected by food allergies, and most of them have potentially life-threatening…

By Katherine Durrell
Personalized blood tests can aid immunity by revealing nutritional deficiencies, notes study 10 Apr 2020 — Blood tests can reveal micronutrient and antioxidant deficiencies and allow a personalized way to bolster immunity and protect the body’s cells. This is according to a new study from Cell Science Systems, a device manufacturer specializing in preventive medical lab tests that measure how the immune system responds to…

Research identifies key role of CXCL9 cytokine in age-related chronic inflammation By Angela Betsaida B. Laguipo, BSNJul 14 2021 An inflammatory-aging clock called developed by Stanford University School of Medicine and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging can predict how strong your immune system will be in 10 years, when you’ll become frail or whether you may develop cardiovascular diseases a few years down the…

By Andrea Downing Peck
At-home genetic test kits face scrutiny for providing information that may provide consumers with an incomplete picture of their genetic health risks and ancestry Genetic testing for disease risk and heritage are hugely popular. But though clinical laboratory and pathology professionals understand the difference between a doctor-ordered genetic health risk (GHR) test and a direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic test, the typical genetic test customer may not. And misunderstanding the…
