Private Blood Testing: Armin Labs
At AvoVita Wellness in Calgary, we are dedicated to providing advanced diagnostic tools that empower you to understand and address the root causes of your health concerns. Through our partnership with Armin Labs in Germany, a leader in specialized laboratory diagnostics, we offer a curated selection of tests designed to provide deep insights into chronic infections, environmental toxicities, and food-related sensitivities. These tests are meticulously developed to detect often-missed factors contributing to complex chronic illnesses, helping us to create highly personalized and effective wellness plans.
Tick-borne diseases, particularly Lyme disease and its co-infections, can be notoriously difficult to diagnose through conventional testing, often leading to prolonged suffering and misdiagnoses. Armin Labs' TickPlex panels offer a groundbreaking approach to identifying these elusive pathogens.
TickPlex Basic focuses specifically on Lyme disease (Borrelia species), utilizing highly sensitive methods to detect IgM and IgG antibodies to various Borrelia strains, including persistent forms often missed by standard tests. This is crucial for individuals with suspected Lyme, whether recent or chronic, providing a more accurate picture of their immune response to the infection.
TickPlex Plus expands on the Basic panel by simultaneously screening for a wide range of common co-infections. These include Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Mycoplasma, and Rickettsia, as well as opportunistic viral infections like Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Parvovirus B19, and Coxsackievirus. For those with complex, multi-systemic symptoms, TickPlex Plus offers a comprehensive overview of potential tick-borne pathogens, enabling a truly holistic and targeted treatment strategy.
Mycotoxins are insidious toxic byproducts produced by certain molds, frequently found in water-damaged buildings, contaminated food, and the environment. Exposure to these toxins can lead to a wide array of chronic, debilitating symptoms, often mimicking other conditions and making diagnosis challenging. Armin Labs' ToxiPlex test provides a direct and precise assessment of your body's mycotoxin load.
ToxiPlex measures five of the most common and harmful mycotoxins directly from a blood serum sample: Aflatoxin B1, Deoxynivalenol, Fumonisin, Ochratoxin A, and Zearalenone. Unlike urine tests that only show what the body has excreted, this serum test indicates mycotoxins still circulating in your system, offering a clearer picture of your current toxic burden. By identifying specific mycotoxins, we can guide you on environmental remediation, detoxification protocols, and supportive therapies to help your body eliminate these harmful substances and mitigate their impact on your health.
Food sensitivities, distinct from immediate food allergies, involve delayed IgG antibody reactions to certain foods that can trigger chronic inflammation and various adverse symptoms throughout the body. Armin Labs' FoodScreen tests provide invaluable insights into these hidden triggers, empowering you to make informed dietary choices.
FoodScreen Basic (90 foods) is an excellent starting point, analyzing IgG reactions to 90 common dietary staples.
FoodScreen Plus (180 foods) expands on this, covering a broader range of foods, including less common items and various herbs and spices, ideal for more complex cases or diverse diets.
FoodScreen Complete (270 foods) offers the most comprehensive analysis, screening for an extensive list of foods and ingredients, providing unparalleled detail for the most precise dietary interventions, especially for those with severe or persistent chronic conditions.
By identifying your unique food sensitivities, we can help you implement a personalized elimination and reintroduction plan, leading to reduced inflammation, improved gut health, and enhanced overall well-being.
