Cyrex offers a test called the Chemical Immune Reactivity Screen
(Array 11), which evaluates the immune response to various
chemicals and heavy metals. This test can identify diseases
associated with chemical exposure and is particularly useful for
individuals with chemical sensitivities or autoimmune conditions.
When a person comes into contact with certain chemicals, these
substances can bind to human tissue proteins. This binding may
cause the proteins to misfold into a structure resembling
amyloid-beta. As a result, the immune system can produce
antibodies against the chemicals attached to the tissue, which
can inadvertently target the amyloid-beta peptide. This process
may lead to the formation of amyloid plaques, a significant factor
in the development of Alzheimer's disease.

The Cyrex Laboratories Array 12 Pathogen-Associated Immune
Reactivity Screen tests the immune response to specific
pathogens that may play a role in autoimmune conditions. This
test measures antibodies against various pathogens and can be
useful for monitoring the effectiveness of treatments in
autoimmune cases. It is recommended for patients experiencing
unexplained gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, body aches, and
inflammation.

Cyrex Array 20 is a blood test that measures the permeability of
the blood-brain barrier by detecting antibodies against specific
proteins. It is utilized to assess conditions related to neuro
autoimmunity and neurodegenerative diseases, especially
following brain injuries such as concussions. The test measures IgG,
IgA, and IgM antibodies against bacterial toxins, tight junction and
