Report, Sample 78608October 12, 2016LRA by ELISA/ACT Tests Results and What They MeanLRA by ELISA/ACT tests use a breakthrough technology that allows the laboratory, for the first time, to observeimmune reactions of specialized white cells (lymphocytes) just as they occur in your body (ex vivo, to be technical).Live lymphocytes from your blood sample are exposed to antigens in our lab. Reaction indicates loss of tolerance anddevelopment of self-attack known as delayed hypersensitivity. Strong reaction means that 50% of cultured lymphocytes react. Moderate reaction means that 5-50% of cultured lymphocytes react.Complete food group(s) will be displayed as reactive when two or more foods in that group are reactive. Dairy, because itis commonly cross-allergenic, is the only exception. The dairy group will appear in bold if even one item in the dairygroup is reactive. It is recommended to avoid all items in a food group if it is listed in bold.Reactive items are an adverse load on your body’s immune defenses. This means a reduced ability to respond to new orchronic infections. Reactive items also decrease immune activities needed to repair your body. This can provokeinflammation and self-attack ("autoimmunity").Avoid strong reactors for six (6) months and moderate reactors for three (3) months to reduce the burden on theimmune system and restore your body’s ability to repair. Avoiding reactive items can break the cycle of impaired defenseand repair, allowing your body to start the recovery and repair process.Immediate allergies (Type 1 IgE linked) are not detected by the LRA by ELISA/ACT tests. Immediate allergies areusually detected by history, routine skin tests, or RAST tests. If you have known immediate allergies, you should continueavoiding those items. Consult with your health professional if you have any questions regarding your immediateallergies.LRA by ELISA/ACT Tests Are DifferentThe LRA tests identify only reactive lymphocytes. B class lymphocytes react to harmful antibodies; T classlymphocytes react directly.Protective memory (non-reactive IgG) antibodies do not provoke symptoms and are not detected by ELISA/ACT LRAtests. Detecting only the items that provoke reactions is an advantage of lymphocyte response assays.Other antibody tests (ELISA IgG, EIA IgG, IgG tests) do not offer this advantage. These tests measure only if antibodiesare present. Since antibodies can be helpful or harmful, knowing the amount of an antibody tells nothing of its function-does it protect and help or does it react and harm?Some labs measure particles and assume all particles of a certain size are reactive lymphocytes—again, thesemeasurements are not as helpful as the LRA by ELISA/ACT tests.MD, Ph.D., FASCP, FACAAI, FACNReferences: Golub, E.S.

Report, Sample 78608Description of Items:October 12, 2016Grapeseed OilHistory/Discussion: Grapeseed oil has half the saturated fat of olive oil. It is rich in antioxidants and has a high smoking point (thetemperature must get very high before it begins to chemically decompose).Sources of Exposure: Grape seed oil is used for: salad dressings, marinades, deep frying, flavored oils, baking, massage oil,sunburn repair lotion, hair products, body hygiene creams, lip balm and hand creams.Substitutions: Other oils like sunflower, safflower, peanut, sesame, and canola (assuming that you do not react to them).Sulfite/MetabisulfiteItems Tested: Sulfiting agents are used for a variety of preservative properties including controlling microbial growth,preventing browning, spoilage and bleaching of some foods. Six sulfiting agents are currently considered by the FDA tobe safe as chemical preservatives. These are sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, sodium and potassium bisulfite and sodiumand potassium metabisulfite.History/Discussion: Sulfites have been used for many years in foods and pharmaceuticals. They were approved for usein the US as long ago as the 1800's. In recent years, however, the safety of sulfites in foods and drugs has beenquestioned. Sulfites can cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals resulting in breathing difficulties,wheezing, asthma, hives, severe itching, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping, headaches and, insome cases, anaphylactic (allergic) shock and death. Asthmatics, especially steroid-dependent asthmatics, areparticularly sensitive to sulfites. Some 10 percent of the population is asthmatic and an estimated 2 to 10 percent of allasthmatics are sulfite-sensitive and are at marked risk for severe reactions. Not all sulfite-sensitive people areasthmatic, but asthmatics are at greatest risk for severe reactions. Vitamin B12 and molybdenum may be helpful indecreasing one's reactivity to sulfites, but should not replace avoidance. In almost all applications, erythroate andascorbate can be substituted, avoiding sulfite risk.Sources of Exposure: Sulfites and metabisulfites may appear as sulfite, sodium or potassium metabisulfite, sodium orpotassium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or sulfur dioxide in ingredient listings. Common sources of exposure (always readlabels) include alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, cocktail mixes, wine coolers), baked goods (cookies, crackers, mixesincluding dried fruits or vegetables, pie crust, pizza crust, quick crust, flour tortillas), beverage bases (dried citrus fruitbase, bottled beverages, mixes, cider, root beer), condiments (horseradish, onion and pickle relishes, pickles, olives,salad dressing mixes, wine vinegar), confections, frostings and fillings (brown, raw, powdered or white sugar derivedfrom sugar beets, fruit fillings, gelatin, pectin, jelling agents), dairy product analogs (filled milk - skim milk enriched in fatcontent by addition of vegetable oils), fish and shellfish (fresh, frozen, canned or dried shrimp, frozen lobster andscallops, canned clams, dried cod), processed fruits and vegetables (canned, bottled or frozen juices; canned, dried,frozen or pickled fruits or vegetables; jams and jellies, maraschino cherries, shredded coconut, instant mashedpotatoes, potato salad), soy protein products, trail mixes, canned or dried soups or mixes, sweet sauces or syrups (cornsyrup, high-fructose corn syrup, maple syrup, pancake syrup, molasses, fruit toppings), and teas (instant or liquidconcentrates).1

Report, Sample 78608Description of Items:October 12, 2016CaffeineItem Tested: Caffeine is an odorless, white powder with a bitter taste that occurs naturally in coffee, cola, guaranapaste, tea and kola nuts.History/Discussion: Caffeine is the number one psychoactive drug in the US.Consumption of caffeine in considerable amounts can lead to various adverse health effects including: Over-arousal of the nervous system causing irritability, insomnia, anxiety, & panic attacks Rebound tiredness and fatigue, especially in sensitive individuals Increased blood pressure (hypertension) Increased heart rate (tachycardia) and arrhythmias (Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia, PAT) Increased serum cholesterol levels Decreased immune function (animal studies) Fibrocystic breast diseaseSources of Exposure: Caffeine is a common ingredient in many over-the-counter and non-prescription medications aswell as being a component of coffee, tea, cola, chocolate/cocoa, guarana, and many sodas (see list below).Items Commonly Containing CaffeineCoffee, 7 oz (207 ml)80 - 135 mgDecaf3 - 4 mgEspresso, 1 shot, 1.5 - 2 oz (44 - 59 ml)100 mgTeaIced, 12 oz (355 ml)70 mgBrewed40 - 60 mgCocoaChocolate, Cadbury, 1 oz (28 g)15 mgChocolate Milk, 8 oz (237 ml)8 mgHot cocoa mix, 1 pkg5 mgSoda, 12 oz (355 ml)Coca-Cola and Diet45.6 mgPepsi37.2 mgDiet Pepsi35.4 mgDr. Pepper39.6 mgMountain Dew55.0 mg (0 mg in Canada)Jolt71.2 mgExcedrin65 mgVivarin200 mgGuarana5% by weight, 25 mg caffeinein 500 mg of whole guarana seedSubstitutions: Coffee alternatives include hot spring or purified water with lemon, ginger tea, herb teas and fresh juice.2

Report, Sample 78608Description of Items:October 12, 2016CarmoisineItem Tested: Carmiosine, a red coloring agent. Also called Azorubine, Acid Red 14, Azorubin, Brilliant carmoisineHistory/Discussion: Carmoisine is a bluish-red coloring and used widely in the UK.In the United States it is not allowed in foods, drugs or cosmetics but is used in technical applications as a coloringagent for cleaners, marking pens, water colors, poster paints and the like. It is used in foods in Mexico and SouthAmerica as well as parts of Asia. Carmoisine is banned in the US, Canada, Japan, Norway and Sweden. The UK is inthe process of trying to ban this colorant and many food manufacturers are voluntarily removing it from their products. Itis a water-soluble color.Sources of Exposure: Carmoisine may be consumed in foods made in the various countries where it is still allowed,such as Mexico, much of South America and parts of Asia. It is found in soda, marzipan products, jams, preserves, jelly.Exposure to carmoisine also comes from the use of water colors, poster paints, marking pens, etc.Substitutions: Any non-reactive coloring agent.AnnattoItem Tested: Annatto, sometimes called Roucou,History/Discussion: Annatto is a derivative of the achiote trees of tropical regions of the Americas, used to produce a redfood coloring and also as a flavoring. Its scent is described as "slightly peppery with a hint of nutmeg" and flavor as"slightly sweet and peppery". Annatto is produced from the reddish pulp which surrounds the seed of the achiote (Bixaorellana L.). Annatto is commonly found in Latin America and Caribbean cuisines as both a coloring agent and forflavoring. Central and South American natives use the seeds to make a body paint, and lipstick. For this reason, theachiote is sometimes called the lipstick-tree. Achiote, otherwise referred to as annatto or the Lipstick tree, originated inSouth America and has spread in popularity to many parts of Asia. It is very popular in Philippine cooking. It grows as adense small tree or shrub. The heart shaped fruits are brown or reddish brown at maturity, and are covered with shortstiff hairs. When fully mature the fruits split open exposing the numerous dark red seeds. While the fruit itself is notedible, the orange-red pulp that covers the seed is used as a commercial food colouring and dye (similar to turmeric).The achiote dye is prepared by stirring the seeds in water, and is popular in South America and Asia. In the PhilippineIslands the seeds are ground and used as a condiment. Annatto provides a bright and exotic appearance for many kindsof dishes. It is also used in cosmetics and textile manufacturing. Note: Because it is a natural colorant companies usingannatto may label their products "all natural" or "no artificial colors".Sources of Exposure: It is used in many cheeses (e.g., Cheddar, Red Leicester, and Brie), margarine, butter, rice,smoked fish and custard powder. May also be used to color rice, desserts, and other foods.Substitutions: Any of the non-toxic natural colors from food and/or plants.3

Report, Sample 78608Description of Items:October 12, 20162-Methyl PentaneItem Tested: Pentanes are aliphatic solvents and are taken almost exclusively from crude oil. 2-methyl pentane has sixcarbons in its molecule and is almost always found associated with another six carbon molecule, hexane. Isohexane is asynonym for 2-methyl pentane.History/Discussion: 2-Methyl pentane affects our bodies in many ways. On our skin it causes irritation, redness,swelling and changes in the underlying color. It damages nerves, which causes weakness and numbness of hands andfeet and difficulty walking, and has a narcotic-like effect when it accumulates in the body. It causes irritation of our eyesand the linings of our mouth and lungs. Most commonly, the highest level of exposure to 2-methyl pentane occurs in theworkplace. People who are sensitive to chemicals, however, have been noted to have toxic levels in their bodieswithout occupational expo
