Case Study Results Show Importance of Array 4 Testing
Reaching across the border, Cyrex Laboratories traveled to Canada for the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) convention and tradeshow November 12-14, 2010. This year’s theme, “Cracking the Chronic Disease Epidemic,” prompted OAND to invite Cyrex’s Scientific Consultant, Aristo Vojdani, Ph.D. to deliver a keynote lecture to more than 400 attendees. Dr. Vojdani presented, “From Immunity to Autoimmunity: Preventing the Onset of Chronic Disease.” During his lecture, he showed the results of his in-house studies that inspired the development of the arrays offered by Cyrex.
The most compelling case was that of a patient who had undergone root canal and dental implant work. Within 60 days, the patient went from having a healthy gut with no food sensitivities, to a patient with severe intestinal permeability and multiple food intolerances. The combination of emotional stress and the prescribed antibiotics, pain medication, and antacids contributed to the clinical conditions. The “before” and “after” results apparently surprised the audience. The patient’s improved test results, after the implementation of a tailored diet─based on Gluten-Associated Sensitivity and Cross-Reative Foods from Cyrex’s Array 4─seemed to convince practitioners of the importance of Cyrex’s next-generation testing services, according to a company spokesperson.
