Helicobacter pylori

What's

H. pylori

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that can cause infection in the stomach, gastritis, stomach cancer, and is a main cause for peptic ulcers. H. pylori can create issues with inflammation and autoimmunity, and has also been noted in disorders involving the thyroid, liver, joints and nervous system. Testing for H. pylori helps to determine if someone has an active or previous infection which may be causing gastrointestinal issues, and further testing can help identify what treatment plan should be taken to eliminate it. The presence of H. pylori in certain cases may not cause illness and may help protect against certain conditions such as asthma, eczema, IBD, diabtes and obesity.

Pathogen Autoimmune Reactivity - Array 12 by Cyrex Laboratories

Serum

Measures antibodies against 32 different pathogens that may lead to autoimmune reactivities, including oral pathogens, gut pathogens, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Mycobacterium avium, Candida albicans, mycotoxin-producing molds (Aspergillus, Penicillium, Stachybotrys), EBV, CMV, HHV-6, and the agent and co-infections of Lyme disease. Detects possible associations between different bacteria, viruses, parasites, yeasts, and molds with more than 80 different autoimmune diseases due to cross-reactivity and molecular mimicry. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of various protocols in the management of autoimmune disorders triggered by pathogens. Developed and published by Aristo Vojdani, PhD, MSc, CLS, known as the father of functional immunology, in 2006, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2021, and 2024.
