Test Specific

The exact timing for a Nanotrap test after tick bite in humans has not been directly assessed. However, the Nanotrap test can definitely be run upon the earliest onset of symptoms (with or without an EM rash), as Magni et al obtained positive Nanotrap results in 100% (24/24) patients with an EM rash AND in 6/6 (100%) early onset patients presenting with joint pain or neurologic symptoms, but without an EM rash. Also, in mouse studies, viable B. burgdorferi have been detected in the bladder/urine within 7-10 days of infection.  

Generally: Recommend that females do not submit samples while heavy menstruation, as large amounts of blood inhibit the test. 

Yes, a licensed medical practitioner (Licensed Physicians (MD, DO), NPs, PAs, and NDs with active NPI numbers) from an eligible state is required to order testing from MosaicDX. 

USA practitioners with a USA address on their account, logged into the MosaicDX practitioner portal, ordering drop ship to USA addressed patient. 

Both the GI360 and CSAP are excellent tests providing actionable information.  The GI360™, built on the CSAP, with an additional PCR platform. The GI360™ includes indexes of Abundance, Dysbiosis and Diversity, which are calculated from the results of the Microbiome Profile (PCR). The CSAP utilizes growth-based culture and ID by MALDI-TOF, PCR for specific pathogenic microbes, important stool chemistries, and microscopy to detect and assess the status of commensals, dysbiotic and pathogenic bacteria, yeast and parasites. The GI360™ built on the CSAP with addition of an additional PCR platform. Both the GI360™ and the CSAP include PCR analysis for a total of 14 pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites.

If you or a patient has had a TOXDetect Profile^® and/or a Glyphosate Test run and found moderate-high levels of any compounds, there are things you can do to help your body eliminate the toxins and to prevent future exposures. The first steps to reducing the amount of toxins presently in the body are to switch to eating only organic food and drinking water that has common toxins, including pesticides filtered out. Most conventional food crops are exposed to larger and larger doses of pesticides and herbicides, and by switching to organic you will prevent exposure to hundreds of these toxicants. Many of these chemicals have also contaminated our water supplies. Installing a high-quality water filtration system in the home that eliminates them is important to do and there are several options available.  

The next step to avoiding future exposures is to change the products you use on a daily basis – from food and beverage containers to beauty and cleaning products. Instead of using plastic water bottles and food containers, switch to glass or metal. Never microwave food in plastic or Styrofoam containers and do not drink hot beverages from plastic or Styrofoam cups. Make sure your shampoo, soaps, lotions, and other beauty products are free of phthalates. Use cleaning products made from natural ingredients or make your own at home.

To eliminate toxins from the body, we highly recommend exercise and the use of saunas, especially infrared sauna therapy to rid many chemicals through sweat. Infrared sauna is superior to conventional sauna because it reaches deeper into the body, increasing the circulation in the blood vessels, and causing the body to start to releasing many of the chemicals stored in body fat.  

There are two supplements that are particularly useful in helping the body detoxify. The first is glutathione, or its precursor N-acetyl cysteine. Glutathione is one of the most common molecules used by the body to eliminate toxic chemicals. If you are constantly exposed to toxicants your stores of glutathione could be depleted. The second supplement is vitamin B3 (niacin). Some may not enjoy the flushing that can happen when taking niacin, however, this flushing is from the blood vessels dilating, which is useful in the detoxification process.  If sensitive to the flushing, start with the lowest recommended dose and work up from there.
