Elevation in microbial antigens indicates:
● Possible dysbiosis or overgrowth
● Need for microbiome assessment and support
● Potential focus on antimicrobial interventions [88]
Chemical Reactivity Patterns
Reactivity to BPA, parabens, or other chemicals suggests:
● Environmental toxic burden
● Need for detoxification support
● Importance of reducing chemical exposure [89]
Monitoring and Retesting
For patients with abnormal Array 14 results implementing
intervention protocols:
Retesting Timeline
Generally, retesting Array 14 is recommended after 6-9 months of
intervention to assess progress and guide ongoing treatment [90].
Progress Indicators
● Normalization of total sIgA levels
● Reduced reactivity to specific antigens
● Symptom improvement [91]
Persistent Abnormalities
If significant abnormalities persist despite intervention, consider:
● Hidden ongoing exposures
