Hair Heavy Metals and Minerals Test $200
Hair Elements analysis through GREAT PLAINS LABORATORIES provides information regarding recent and ongoing exposure to potentially toxic and neurotoxic metals such as methylmercury, arsenic, aluminum, tin, cadmium, lead, antimony and mercury and time-averaged status of specific nutrient elements (minerals) which plays a key role in essential mineral balances/deficiencies or toxic abnormalities.
The CDC acknowledges the value of hair mercury levels as a maternal and infant marker for exposure to neurotoxic methylmercury from particular large fish.
This noninvasive screening test requires only .25 grams of hair. Toxic elements may be 200 to 300 times more highly concentrated in hair than in blood or urine. Therefore, hair is the tissue of choice for detection of recent exposure to toxic elements.
You will receive a kit from Great Plains Laboratory within 3-5 business days after payment.
​
It takes 14 days for the test results to be posted via email. This test can be done at home with hair samples. Please allow one inch of hair to grow out or use pubic hairs. Follow instructions on kit once received.

Organic Acids Test $350
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) through GREAT PLAINS LABORATORIES offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with 76 markers. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. The cause of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors.
The Organic Acids Test also includes markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and is the only OAT to include markers for oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses.
If abnormalities are detected using the OAT, treatments can include supplements, such as vitamins and antioxidants, or dietary modification. Upon treatment, patients and practitioners have reported significant improvement such as decreased fatigue, regular bowel function, increased energy and alertness, increased concentration, improved verbal skills, less hyperactivity, and decreased abdominal pain. The OAT is strongly recommended as the initial screening test.

MOLD IgE ALLERGY TEST $190
Mold allergy is an abnormal immune reaction to mold spores or mold cell components. People can be exposed to mold spores or byproducts at work, home or outdoors.
​
The Great Plains Laboratory offers an IgE blood test that measures patient antibodies to most common molds. The IgE antibodies are detected in blood serum using an FDA-approved enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
​
The most common molds known to cause allergic conditions include Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Penicillium. Use of both tests allow a wider array of molds to be detected.
Advantages of IgE Mold Allergy Testing:
IgE Mast Cell Inflammatory Mediators
Identify IgE reactivity level to specific mold species.
Connect immune responses to specific molds.
Suggest history of mold exposure.
Current higher reactivity or potential past lower reactivity.
Helpful for individuals with allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions that may be due to histamine release and other inflammatory mediators resulting from IgE reactivity or other immune reactions.
Link IgE results with mold allergy symptoms, which include cough and postnasal drip, watery eyes, itchy eyes, nose, throat, runny or stuffy nose, or dry, scaly skin. In addition, possibly assist in identifying abnormal reactions to mold, including mold-induced asthma, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, allergic fungal sinusitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and dampness and mold hypersensitivity syndrome (DMHS).
Certain occupations have potential for high mold exposure: crop and dairy farming, greenhouse plant husbandry, logging, carpentry, millwork, furniture repair and commercial baking.
A high exposure in the home can occur in damp areas such as bathrooms, kitchens and basements.
In general, working or living in damp buildings with moisture higher than 50% humidity, increases the possibility of mold exposure.
Immune reactions to mold can be identified by the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to specific mold species.
GREAT PLAINS LABORATORY MYCOTOX MOLD EXPOSURE $300
The Mold IgE Allergy panel includes 13 mold allergens, with markers known to be involved in mold-related illnesses.
Mycotoxins (toxins from mold) are some of the most prevalent toxins in the environment. Mycotoxins are metabolites produced by fungi like mold, which can infest buildings, vehicles, and foodstuffs. Most mycotoxin exposures in North America, Europe, and Australia are through airborne exposure. Food may be a major source of mycotoxins in third-world nations that lack government inspection of foods, especially the grains such as rice, corn, wheat, rye, and barley. Many grains that are harvested have been found to be contaminated with mycotoxins but little of such harvests are discarded and are frequently sold for animal feeds such as dog food or feed for cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and horses.
Fungi can grow on almost any surface, especially if the environment is warm and wet. Inner wall materials of buildings, wallpaper, fiber glass insulation, ceiling tiles, and gypsum support are all good surfaces for fungi to colonize. These fungi then release mycotoxins into the environment causing symptoms of many different chronic diseases. Diseases and symptoms linked to mycotoxin exposure include fever, pneumonia-like symptoms, heart disease, rheumatic disease, asthma, sinusitis, cancer, memory loss, vision loss, chronic fatigue, skin rashes, depression, ADHD, anxiety, and liver damage. With the MycoTOX Profile we can identify mycotoxin exposures and make recommendations for detoxification treatments that have been effective.
MycoTOX screens for eleven different mycotoxins, from 40 species of mold, in one urine sample.
GPL currently measures 11 different mycotoxins in our test from a wide variety of 13 mold types (genera) including Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Myrothecium, Stachybotrys, Bipolaris, Gibberella, Chaetomium, Trichoderma, Trichothecium, Cephalosporium, Verticimonosporium, and Monascus. Since each of these genera contain multiple species, the MycoTOX Profile is likely to detect hundreds of mold species. In addition, poisonous mushrooms also produce some of the same mycotoxins as the molds. This makes the MycoTOX Profile the most comprehensive test on the market and it is the most cost-effective. https://www.greatplainslaboratory.com/gplmycotox

MTHRR GENE TESTING THROUGH SPECTRACELL LABS $125
MTHFR is an enzyme responsible for converting 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to the product 5-methyltetrahydrofolate - it is involved in the metabolism of folate and homocysteine. The product of the reaction catalyzed by MTHFR converts homocysteine (a potentially toxic amino acid) to methionine (a useful and necessary amino acid). People with high homocysteine levels and those who have a familial history of cardiovascular disease, stroke or thrombosis should consider being tested. Methylation refers to the biochemical pathway in which methyl groups (one carbon and three hydrogen atoms) are added to molecules. Because it is involved in nearly all of the body’s functions, it contributes to countless biological processes including:
Detoxification
Energy production
Genetic expression/DNA repair
Inflammatory, immune, and stress response
Neurotransmitter balance
Production and recycling of glutathione
An inability to methylate properly can disrupt any of these processes, ultimately compromising one’s health as the body is not able to effectively respond due to the shortage of methyl groups. Impaired detoxification, cardiovascular disease, neurological problems, and weakened immune functioning in general, are some conditions linked to undermethylation.
This is a blood serum test with a 11-13 days turn-around time.
