Roger Deutsch, founder of Cell Science Systems, provides in-depth information on new functional cellular immune tests for assessment of Immune Age and Systemic Chronic Inflammation (SCI).
You will take home the following learning points:
- The roles of the innate and adaptive branches of the immune system in health and disease and newly discovered mechanisms of immune-mediated tissue damage.
- The reason females have less severe outcomes from COVID but suffer more from autoimmunity.
- How new tests, developed and offered exclusively from CSS, for assessment of immune age and chronic inflammatory burden, can be utilized in integrative practices to strengthen and balance natural immunity.
- The interpretation of functional immune cell testing to guide eating and nutritional supplementation that limit inflammation and enhance balanced immunity.
- How the ancient Vedic concept of karma relates to our current understanding of epigenetics.
Immune dysfunction and senescence compromise normal physiologic function, suppress the ability to repair damage, resist infection and protect against neoplastic development. At the same time, over-activation of the innate immune system drives autoimmunity, metabolic diseases, and a host of other disorders.
There is a great need for lab tests that can assess immune function (Immune-Age) and systemic chronic inflammation (SCI) and reliably identify patient specific foods and nutrients for strengthening immunity whilst avoiding triggers of chronic inflammation.
New mechanistic understandings of the role of foods, including the role of cell free DNA, in moving toward immunologic balance, and data from recent clinical and mechanistic studies of the ALCAT test for food and chemical sensitivities, performed at Yale School of Medicine, Georgetown University, University of Leipzig, and other institutions will be presented. Newly offered functional immune response tests will be described and their use in clinical practice discussed.
