Cell Science Systems Corp. Testing
PreviMedica utilizes test results offered by Cell Science Systems, Corp. for insight into clients’ nutrient status, food and chemical sensitivities, and genetics.
The tests offered by Cell Science Systems are not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions. There is no assurance provided that any particular results will be achieved, as your condition may not be related (or not only related) to the information obtained from the tests conducted. The assistance of a health care provider is advised.
The Alcat Test is a scientific clinical test and as such is only intended to provide information regarding possible sensitivities to foods and/or other substances.
The Methyl Detox Profile tests genetic markers involved in methylation and homocysteine metabolism. It is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions but to provide insight for use within a comprehensive assessment conducted by the ordering practitioner. Patients should understand that as research advances, in order to assess the meaning of patients’ DNA in the context of such research advances, patient may need to obtain further services from physician, genetic counselor or other health care provider.
The DNA collected for this test is not sold or donated to any other organization or used for research. Patient DNA is only stored when a reanalysis is needed. DNA samples are de-identified during the isolation process and upon completion of testing, disposed of in bio-hazardous waste. Records associated with the DNA collected for this test are stored for a minimum of two years according to CLIA regulation. Patients are permitted to submit DNA samples confidentially without a name associated with them (using an identification number).
CICA (Celiac, IBS, Crohn’s Array) tests genetic markers and serology markers associated with celiac and Crohn’s disease.

The Cellular Nutrition Assay assesses insufficiencies in micronutrients within immune cells, antioxidant function of immune cells, and specific antioxidants that may improve antioxidant capacity. It is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions but to provide insight for use within a comprehensive assessment conducted by ordering practitioner.
Homocysteine testing is a biomarker utilized to assess progress after implementation of personalized nutrition to balance methylation. It is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions but to provide insight for use within a comprehensive assessment conducted by ordering practitioner.
Telomere Value determines average telomere length in sampled white blood. It is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions but to provide insight for use within a comprehensive assessment conducted by ordering practitioner. Patients should understand that as research advances, in order to assess the meaning of patients’ DNA in the context of such research advances, patient may need to obtain further services from physician, genetic counselor or other health care provider.

Changes to thePrivacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. You will be notified of any significant changes.
Disclaimer: It is important to note that food sensitivity testing is distinct from food allergy testing. While both tests share the objective of identifying potential food reactions, they vary in their diagnostic methodology and the types of reactions they detect. Food allergy testing commonly focuses on immediate, life-threatening reactions to foods, while food sensitivity testing aims to detect delayed responses that can be less severe but still affect one's health. Therefore, we strongly advise consulting with a qualified healthcare professional to determine which testing approach is most suitable for your particular situation.
