Specialized Testing and Labs
-
IGeneX has developed several industry-leading tests. Their ImmunoBlot test has a sensitivity rate that is nearly double that of the standard two-tier testing protocol.

-
We use Medical Diagnostic Laboratories (MDL) to test for tick-borne diseases and other pathogens. This laboratory does bill most insurance companies.
-
The Vibrant Tick-borne panel is the most comprehensive antibody (indirect) and DNA (direct) test for detection of Lyme and co-infections that, in most cases, can assist the clinician in assessing these situations and lead to the correct diagnosis
Tick Borne Diseases
-
P88 Dietary Antigen Test. This tests allergies and sensitivities to 88 different foods.
-
The Vibrant Food Zoomers provide the most in depth and accurate look at true food sensitivities – because they are tests that examine immune responses to peptides within these antigenic foods, compared to all other food sensitivity tests which measure antibodies to whole proteins, which are rarely actually what our immune systems are exposed to in real life during digestion.
These tests include corn, dairy, eggs, food additives, grain, lectin, nut, peanut, soy and wheat.
Vibrant America also offers a Food Allergy panel and 2 Food Sensitivity panels.
Food Allergies
-
The Dutch Test Complete provides an Analysis of 35 different hormones: including, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, and cortisol along with their metabolites. It will measure your adrenal levels to determine sufficiency or insufficiency and levels of chronic stress and map your sleep patterns. It will also measure detoxification markers, oxidative stress markers, vitamin B markers, and neurotransmitters.

ZRT offers a wide range of hormone testing including urine, blood and saliva testing.

MycoTOX Profile
The MycoTOX Profile is a comprehensive assessment of mycotoxins. This test accurately assesses levels of 11 different mycotoxins, including Aflatoxin M1, Ochratoxin A, Zearalenone, and Trichothecenes. This test cannot be billed to insurance.
-
The RealTime Labs mycotoxin test detects 16 different mycotoxins, including 9 macrocyclic trichothecenes. Testing is done using competitive ELISA, a very sensitive detection method using antibodies prepared against mycotoxins.
-
The Visual Contrast Sensitivity test (VCS) measures changes in your ability to discern contrast between black, white, and gray objects on your computer screen. If positive, the VCS test indicates you may have been exposed to mold or mycotoxins. Based on this, we may need to do further testing for heavy metals.
-
Vibrant America's Mycotoxin test detects 29 of the most common mycotoxins produced by mold and Molecules at the parts per quadrillion size.
Mycotoxins (Mold)
-
Aerodiagnostics offers a SIBO breath test. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when bacteria enter your normally sterile small intestine and begin to colonize. This SIBO breath collection kit comes with Lactulose as a substrate.
-
GI Map
The GI-MAP is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. Research overwhelmingly indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Assessing GI health with the proper tools can help get to the root cause of chronic illness.
-
US BioTek offers 4 GI Microbiome tests. They include GI-Basic Profile, GI-Standard Profile, GI-Advanced Profile and GUTIQ.

Neural Zoomer Plus
The Neural Zoomer Plus measures immune reactivity to structures, tissues, cells, and chemicals in the brain and peripheral nervous system. This test can detect underlying inflammatory responses that may be causing symptoms related to mood, memory, aging, balance, nervous function, movement, pain, and more.
