Kristie offers her established patients the option of a Self-Pay lab for the bloodwork that she orders. This is a huge cost-saving benefit for those with high deductible health plans and plans that do not cover bloodwork. It is also beneficial for those who manage their health care dollars through a health savings/flexible spending account, and want to take advantage of the lower-cost lab fees.
Kristie offers specialized Food, Environmental, Chemical and Heavy Metal blood allergy tests called ELISA/ACT. The ELISA/ACT allergy tests use Leukocyte (White BLood Cell) testing to determine if an allergy is both SENSITIVE and SPECIFIC to what is being tested. This is an important distinction from IgG/IgM/IgE Antibody testing which is limited in its ability to be Specific to the tested antibody, often leaving inconclusive results for patients. The ELISA/ACT allergy test empowers patient to identify, and then susequently avoid, the identified allergen. This enables the immune system, Gastrointestional tract, Adrenal system and Thyroid tissue to heal from the on-slaught of autoimmune disease issues that accompany food, environmental, chemical, and heavy metal allergies.
