Biotoxin illness refers to the cause of a person's illness. All biotoxin illnesses have one common denominator - toxins being produced by living things. Symptoms of biotoxin illness can be similar to that of fibromyalgia, chronic sinus infections, or chronic fatigue syndrome. These include: allergies, headaches, coughing, GI problems, body aches, burning or watery eyes, fever, anxiety, mood swings, and more.

Mold is a key element of indoor air contamination that few people understand; yet, is one of the most common causes of biotoxin illness. What many people also don't realize is that mold can make you extremely sick, or even kill you. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), all molds have the potential to cause ill health.1 The tests contained in this panel look at the complex cascade of events throughout multiple inflammatory pathways produced by biotoxin mold exposure.2

Instructions

Fasting is not required. Take all medications as prescribed.

Note

This panel was designed with the cooperation of Dr. Shoemaker. All tests in this panel are performed by LabCorp. The tests that Dr. Shoemaker recommends be obtained through QUEST (VEGF, VIP, C3a and C4a) are not part of this panel.

This blood test panel may not be ordered as a kit and must be collected at a LabCorp Service Center. Please call ahead to your LabCorp location several weeks before your planned visit to ensure the required Trasylol Kit (LabCorp supply #33328) is available, which is not routinely kept as inventory.

Results typically take up to 14 business days from date of collection; however, due to the complexity of the tests included in this panel, additional delays may occur to ensure accuracy of reported results. Please allow up to 30 days to receive the final report.  Do not schedule any appointments to review these results with a healthcare professional less than 30 days from the date of collection.  Life Extension cannot expedite results processing.
