Feeling like you've tried everything but not feeling like you are making progress with your symptoms? Chronic inflammation may the culprit!
Great news! Our Mediator Release Testing (MRT) can help you identify food sensitivities and intolerances that may be causing unexplained symptoms caused by inflammation. With MRT, you can take control of your health and make informed decisions about your diet. Contact us today to learn more!
So what IS a
Mediator Release Test or MRT® ?
Patented by Oxford Biomedical Technologies, the MRT is the only instrument capable of measuring the subtle volumetric effects of antigen challenge on individual white cell populations simultaneously (lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes, neutrophils). The most advanced MRT is capable of testing for 176 foods and food additives. And because MRT is able to identify more relevant inflammatory reactions than any other test or method, therapeutic outcomes are maximized with its use.

More Science
Despite all of the clinical and immunologic complexities associated with food sensitivities, the single common component of all diet-induced inflammatory reactions is proinflammatory and proalgesic mediator release from white cells. It’s the release of cytokines, histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, etc., from neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils and, lymphocytes that lead to all the negative clinical effects a food-sensitivity sufferer endures. This is true under all of the numerous immunologic circumstances and clinical circumstances associated with food sensitivities. Because of the vast array of potential mediators and reacting cells, measuring volumetric changes in all circulating white cells after antigen challenge is the most logical, direct, comprehensive, and functional measure of food sensitivity reactions. It simply makes the most sense.
