Dental Materials Reactivity Screening
The Dental Clifford Materials Reactivity Testing (CMRT) is a laboratory test that identifies existing bio-sensitivity problems in dental materials according to an individual patient’s immune system. The testing is performed with a blood sample that is drawn and prepared locally and then shipped into the lab for final analysis. The test looks at 94 chemical groups used in dental materials.
The findings of these 94 groups are compared to a database of over 17,000 dental materials to determine which materials contain and may release adversely reacting chemical groups to the specific patient. A report is then generated showing the findings of the 94 chemical groups as well as listing the trade named materials with a label listing their bio-reactivity as suited or not well suited.

Orthopedic Materials Reactivity Screening
The Orthopedic Clifford Materials Reactivity Testing (CMRT) is a laboratory test that identifies existing bio-sensitivity problems in orthopedic materials according to an individual patient’s immune system. The testing is performed with a blood sample that is drawn and prepared locally and then shipped into the lab for final analysis. The test looks at 94 chemical groups used in orthopedic materials.
The findings of these 94 groups are compared to a database of over 7,400 orthopedic materials to determine which materials contain and may release adversely reacting chemical groups to the specific patient. A report is then generated showing the findings of the 94 chemical groups as well as listing the trade named materials with a label listing there bio-reactivity as suited or not well suited.

pH level
The internal environment of your body is maintained at a pH between 6.5 – 7.5, which is alkaline. For necessary cell reactions and functions to occur, our body must maintain this appropriate pH. While your body can regulate pH, there is a limit to how much it can neutralize. Excess acids can accumulate from one or more of the following conditions:
1. Acid-forming diet
2. Distress
3. Toxins (or their metabolites)
4. Immune reactions 5. Anti-oxidant sufficiency / oxidative stress.Test your pH level with this First morning pH test kit that you can complete at home. Test kit includes test strips for 15 measurements and instructions.

Vitamin D
A blood draw test measuring Vitamin D 25-OH total (D2, D3). Everything is included to collect your blood draw sample at home and send your sample to the lab for processing.
This test requires a blood draw. See blood draw options.

Hemoglobin A1c
The Hemoglobin A1C test result reflects your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. Specifically, the A1C test measures what percentage of your hemoglobin — a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen — is coated with sugar (glycated). The higher your A1C level, the poorer your blood sugar control. And if you have previously been diagnosed with diabetes, the higher the A1C level, the higher your risk of diabetes complications.
This test requires a blood draw. See blood draw options.

High Sensitivity C-Reactive protein
C-Reactive Protein is a sensitive indicator of acute injury, bacterial infection, or inflammation. Studies have been published linking serum CRP levels to coronary heart disease risk. The High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein requires a blood draw.
-
$95.00
Homocysteine
Homocysteine is an amino acid that plays a role in destroying the lining of your artery walls, promoting the formation of blood clots, and also accelerates the buildup of scar tissue. High levels may increase the chance of heart disease and stroke, especially if you have other risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, or family history.
This test requires a blood draw.

Omega-3 Test
Most Americans do not get enough omega-3′s from their diets. There is growing evidence for an association between omega-3 levels and health conditions such as heart disease, cellular aging, dry eye, macular degeneration, dementia, depression, joint health, etc. The Omega-3 Index can be improved by simple dietary changes such as increasing your intake of EPA and DHA from either seafood or from dietary supplements.
Trans Fat Index
High levels of trans fat have been related to increased risk for heart disease. These trans fats mainly come from our diet, particularly from hydrogenated oils. By removing these foods from your diet you can modify your Tran Fat Index.
Please note that our testing cannot be ordered from the states of New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maryland due to those states’ laws prohibiting direct access testing for their residents. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope this will change in the future. Tests purchased through Better Lab Tests Now must be submitted for processing within 12 months of the date of purchase, or by the expiration date on the test kit, whichever is earlier.

The LRA by ELISA/ACT tests revealed my sensitivities to items I hadn’t even dreamed of. My eczema symptoms went away as soon as I started on the program. If I stray, they come back!

In the past decade of my practice, I have been using the elimination/provocation test, when appropriate, combined with the LRA by ELISA/ACT… In my opinion and experience, this is the state-of-the-art in food sensitivity detection.

Toronto, Ontario, CanadaI have not had any migraines since I started on the LRA by ELISA/ACT program after having them for 20 years. It’s great to be free of them.
- Consumer, Herndon, VA
Following the LRA by ELISA/ACT program gave me my life back. By avoiding the reactive items, following nutritional recommendations and incorporating moderate exercise into my life, I have considerably less stiffness and pain and feel 90% on most days.
