Live Cell Microscopy
This is a new test (taking one drop of blood from a fingertip) that provides a
reliable and fast visualization of Candida, parasites and bacteria that float
freely in the bloodstream. The test is conducted using a microscope attached
to a video recorder and monitor. Live cell microscopy can reveal important
health data not possible through conventional microscopic tests. Some
insurance companies cover this test if advised by a medical doctor.
Measuring Antigen Levels and Immune Assays
This is a laboratory method that I find effective only for confirming the fact that
Candida Albicans is a responsible factor in the patient’s health condition. The
test that measures the levels of antibodies or Candida antigens in the blood
can be used as a helpful way to monitor therapy.
Here are two laboratories that perform the antigen levels tests:
Diagnos-Techs (1-800-87-TESTS)
Antibody Assay Laboratory (1-800-522-2611)
Immune Assays
Unlike home tests and symptoms questionnaires which can be subjective,
Immune assays are an objective marker for the presence of Candida that
enables you to measure the actual level of Candida immune complexes in the
blood (the yeast cells, the antigen, bound to immunoglobulin (Ig) antibodies).
The Candida immune assays may test for different types of immunoglobulins :
IgG, IgA, and/or IgM. There is a direct relation between the levels of Candida
immune complexes, found in the blood, and the amount of Candida in your
body. Once candida infection is controlled, the immune complexes disappear
quickly.
