Judith Lukaszuk, PhD from Northern Illinois University visited the Cell Science Systems laboratory to give an update on recent studies with the gut microbiome for 2015/2016 as well as reveal the results of newly published research her team performed with the Alcat Test. The purpose of this pre/posttest double blind study was to see if the foods people consume have an effect on total body inflammation. The results as Dr. Lukaszuk says, “are very exciting for Alcat, Cell Science Systems.” Continue reading →

Event Details Recently, one of our advisors, Dr. David Brady, visited the Cell Science Systems laboratory.

Event Details Food allergy has been long recognized and well documented. Other adverse reactions to foods first referred to as “toxic idiopathies” by John Freeman, co inventor of immunotherapy, at the early part of the 1900s can be mediated by and have their impact on the nervous and endocrine systems. It can also be mediated by pharmacologic mechanisms and can also affect any part of the body. There’s a great clinical need to accurately identify triggers of adverse reactivity as they have now been linked with even the most serious of modern maladies and diseases. In fact, inflammation is the… Continue reading →
