Immune Balance (TH1/TH2 balance) Urine Test

The Urine Balance Test aims at detecting alterations of the Th1/Th2 balance. The test allows patients and doctors to follow-up on Th1/Th2 balance during therapy and to evaluate whether the treatment is really effective. In addition, the test also provides a tool to check the effectiveness of over the counter products claiming to balance Th1/Th2 status such as: antioxidants, probiotics and other. Thus far Th1/Th2 profiles can only be determined in specialized laboratories with blood-based tests practically hard to be performed repeatedly over short periods of time.

Lyme disease exhibits a variety of symptoms that may be confused with immune and inflammatory disorders. Inflammation around the tick bite causes skin lesions. Erythema (chronicum) migrans (ECM), a unique expanding skin lesion with central clearing that has a ring-like appearance, is typically the first stage of the disease. Arthritis, neurological disease, and cardiac disease may be later stage manifestations.
