The LRA Professionals Choice Panel is a comprehensive food and environmental sensitivity test that detects delayed hypersensitivities to:
LRA by ELISA/ACT® tests uses a breakthrough technology that allows the laboratory, for the first time, to observe immune reactions of specialized white cells (lymphocytes) just as they occur in your body. By looking directly at lymphocytes, the LRA detects all three types of delayed food and chemical hypersensitivities, type 2 (includes IgA, IgM, IgG), type 3 Immune Complex, and type 4 T cell-mediated.
The LRA Professionals Choice Panel should be considered when patients present with complex, long-term conditions or symptoms of food & environmental allergies.
Examples of symptoms commonly reported:
The Test Results include information on the following:
Patients with strong reactions should avoid strong reactors for six (6) months to help reduce the burden on the immune system and restore the body’s ability to repair.
Patients with moderate reactions should avoid moderate reactors for three (3) months to reduce the burden on the immune system and restore their body’s ability to repair. Avoiding reactive items can break the cycle of impaired defense and repair, allowing your body to start the recovery and repair process.
LRA Professionals Choice Panel also comes with nutritional, supplemental, and behavioral recommendations based on the patient’s answers to the health assessment questionnaire.
Note: This test cannot be ordered for patients under 2 years of age.
The Professional's Choice Test Panel measures delayed hypersensitivities to 238 foods, 61 environmental chemicals, 28 molds, 28 additives/preservatives, 20 color additives, and 14 toxic minerals/metals. It is recommended for patients with simple, recent-onset conditions or symptoms. This panel cannot be ordered for patients younger than two years of age.
