Exa Test was developed as an assay for difficult to detect intracellular mineral electrolyte deficiencies or imbalance. Exa Test provides information not available through blood tests. Using direct tissue analysis Exa Test provides results that correlate with heart, muscle and deep organ tissue not with blood. Exa Test provides an analysis of tissue where 99% of essential mineral electrolytes are found. For example, 99% of magnesium is found in soft tissue and less than 1% of magnesium is found in blood. Through clinical practice and extensive research, this noninvasive test has proven to assist the healthcare provider in managing heart disease and other physiological dysfunctions where mineral electrolytes are compromised. Exa results assist the healthcare provider in establishing treatment protocols that improve the patient's intracellular status, manage symptoms, improve stamina and quality of life.
The
Exa Test,
tissue mineral electrolyte
analysis, includes all ions and ratios for
Magnesium
Magnesium/Calcium
1. A epithelial cell scraping is easily obtained from the sublingual area. The healthcare professional scrapes the soft tissue on the floor of the mouth to the side of the frenulum. 2. The non-cornified sublingual epithelial cell samples are deposited and fixed on specially prepared slides and sent to IntraCellular Diagnostics. 3. Results are rapidly returned with evaluation of the patient's current intracellular mineral electrolyte status. 4. Exa Test results correlate with heart, muscle and deep organ tissue not with blood. 5. The information provided is not available through blood tests.
Fluorescent X-Ray Pattern
Spectral Analysis
1. The epithelial cell sample is viewed by an analytical scanning electron microscope and is analyzed by a proprietary Elemental EXA method.
2. The specimen is bombarded by high energy electrons or X-Rays. 3. Energy is released by wavelengths which are distinct and unique to each mineral element. 4. From this process, the computer calculates a "spectral fingerprint" for each patient that identifies the mineral electrolyte levels and ratios within the cell. 5. Results are mailed back to the health professional with an advisory risk factor status for each mineral. 6. Results provide an evaluation of the patient's current intracellular mineral electrolyte status. 7. The data remains permanently in our system and we provide comparative analysis. 8. Laboratory and Medical staff provide interpretation and protocol support.
1. Research has shown that sublingual epithelial cells correlate well with deep body tissues such as heart tissue taken during bypass surgery and skeletal muscle biopsies...taken from NASA volunteers. 2. Epithelial cell analysis correlates with current total body mineral electrolyte status.
3. Buccal cells have a high cytoplasm to nucleus structure facilitating mineral electrolyte analysis. 4. Epithelial cells offer a rapidly renewing, homogeneous cell population which reflects very fast tissue changes and allows the physician to follow the patient's current metabolic physical status. 5. Buccal epithelial cells are easily accessible providing a non invasive specimen for use on specially prepared slides. Note:
CARDIAC VASCULAR SKELETAL MUSCULAR NERVOUS
ICD's Exa Test Is: 1. A proven procedure using rapidly metabolizing sublingual (buccal) epithelial cells of the oral cavity to reflect very fast tissue changes of vital minerals. 2. A reproducible and reliable method allowing the practitioner to monitor and screen cellular mineral balance objectively and repeatedly 3. World's first reference test for tissue mineral electrolyte levels. ICD offers you the only office based reference test for identifying mineral depleted or imbalanced patients with pathophysiological complaints. 4. Your solution to measuring dynamic intracellular mineral levels. 5. Easily performed by health care assistants via handy kits provided by ICD. 6. Offers professional training and assistance through an in-house Clinical Information Service. 7. Offers support for interpretation and patient protocol. 8. Eligible for Medicare and insurance coverage. 9. Features mail-delivered specimens for fast turn-around, rapid results of individualized patient information. 10.
