ENVIRO TOX PANEL

Description

ENVIRO TOX PANEL

Every day, we are exposed to hundreds of toxic chemicals through products like pharmaceuticals, pesticides, packaged foods, household products, and environmental pollution. As we have become more accustomed to chemical-laden products, and as our environment has become more contaminated, we have been confronted with an accelerating rate of chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, chemical sensitivity, autism spectrum disorders, AD(H)D, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.

The ENVIRO Tox Panel will give you a comprehensive look at a patient’s current toxic chemical burden, as well as any resulting oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial damage. Bundling these three tests together provides a more economical way of getting all of this invaluable information, and just from one urine sample. From there, we can provide you with recommendations on how to avoid future exposures and how to best detoxify the body of these toxins.Because exposure to environmental pollutants has been linked to many chronic diseases. This panel includes three tests, all of which can be done from one urine sample.

We recommend this 3 in 1 test to all our patients who have “serious” conditions and are looking for more answers. There are always more answers to your condition and this panel will help in solving the unsolved mystery’s.

What are the three test?

Organic Acids Test

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) has 76 markers and gives you a metabolic snapshot of a patient’s health. It includes specific markers for oxidative stress and inflammation, such as quinolinic acid and pyroglutamic acid, which are often elevated in either acute or chronic toxic chemical exposure and/or when the body is not properly detoxifying chemicals. It also includes a marker for succinic acid, which is highly correlated with toxic chemical exposure.

The OAT test is a good indicator for Candida (yeast) levels and also for the status of your liver checking the Glutathione levels along with calcium oxalates. Neurohormones are also assessed like Dopamine, Serotonin and Adrenal gland hormones to see if certain bacteria are causing emotional issues. So if your body is not detoxifying itself properly this test with give the doctor all the information that he needs to start a unique program just for you.

ToxDetect Profile:

The TOXDetect Profile is designed to pinpoint your environmental toxin exposure. This profile measures 19 metabolites utilizing state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS technology, guaranteeing unmatched accuracy and reliability – all from a single urine sample.

Including organophosphate pesticides, phthalates, benzene, xylene, vinyl chloride, pyrethrin insecticides, and others. This profile also includes Tiglylglycine (TG), a marker for mitochondrial disorders resulting from mutations of mitochondrial DNA. These mutations can be caused by exposure to toxic chemicals, infections, inflammation, and nutritional deficiencies.

What are Environmental Toxicants?

Environmental toxicants are substances present in the environment that threaten the health of all living organisms. Whether natural or human-made, these substances infiltrate through industrial activities, pollution, agriculture, and waste disposal.

Exposure to environmental toxicants, whether absorbed, inhaled, or ingested, has been associated with various health issues. Despite the staggering 2000% increase in plastic production from 15 million to 311 million tons between 1964 and 2014, and the annual disease cost burden of $340 billion from endocrine disrupting chemicals, the majority of chemicals remain unassessed for human impact. With over 80,000 chemicals registered in the U.S. under the Toxic Substances Control Act and thousands more introduced annually, it’s essential to identify exposures and mitigate their health impacts through testing.

Why Test?

Identifying and removing environmental toxicant exposure is fundamental to achieving comprehensive and lasting health outcomes for patients. The TOXDetect Profile is specifically designed to assess for exposure to various toxicants that can cause or contribute to chronic diseases. It equips healthcare practitioners with the ability to identify the underlying causes of toxicity and develop informed and personalized treatment plan for detoxification and healing.

MycoTOX Profile

MOLD has become the new illness to so many people of all ages, it does not care whether you are old are very young. The rising cases seen in doctors offices with unexplained illnesses is usually an underlying Mold infection condition. Mold can attack any of the most important systems and organs of the body. This includes the brain, lungs, the gut, liver, kidneys and reproductive systems. It is also carcinogenic and creates oxidative stress on the body. Mold spores can also cross the blood-brain barrier and get into your brain causing neurotoxicity (cell death of neurons). Many brain disorders usually originate from the gut, dementia, Parkinson’s and more are usually a mold issue.

Mycotoxins, produced by certain mold species, are some of the most prevalent toxins and can come from many sources, including buildings, vehicles, and food. These compounds have been recognized as a growing global health concern due to their acute and chronic adverse health impacts. Mycotoxin exposure can be challenging to diagnose without proper testing due to vague and often varied symptoms.

The MycoTOX Profile is Mosaic Diagnostics’ most comprehensive assessment of mycotoxins. Their state-of-the-art urine-based assay accurately assesses levels of 11 different mycotoxins, including Aflatoxin M1, Ochratoxin A, Zearalenone, and Trichothecenes. The MycoTOX Profile has been designed to help clinicians uncover mycotoxin exposure and guide a therapeutic strategy for prevention and treatment.
