● Imbalanced B-cell subpopulations
Integrated Approach
● TH17 modulation protocol: specialized polyphenols, omega-3
fatty acids, vitamin D
● Regulatory T-cell support: specific probiotic strains and
butyrate precursors
● Targeted anti-inflammatory diet with Mediterranean pattern
● Stress reduction program with mind-body techniques
Outcome
● Gradual reduction in both intestinal and joint symptoms over
4 months
● Decreased inflammatory markers on laboratory testing
● Ability to reduce conventional medication doses with
physician supervision
● Improved quality of life measurements at 6-month follow-up
These cases illustrate the clinical utility of the Lymphocyte MAP™ in

Clinical Integration: Combining Lymphocyte MAP™ with Other
Testing
For a comprehensive assessment of immune function and related
systems, the Lymphocyte MAP™ can be strategically combined
with other functional testing modalities:
